Of these, 512 lived in Camp Verde, 218 in Clarkdale, and only 13 in Lake Montezuma. President, Frances Hawley The County was originally 65,000 square miles and was called the Vice Pres., Gayle Burns “Mother of Counties” because Apache, Coconino, Gila, Maricopa Secretary, Barbara Otter and Navajo Counties were later formed from it.

The greatest concentration of artifacts is found in the Verde Valley where the Sinagua Indians arrived around 500 A.D. and created dwellings at Tuzigoot and Montezuma’s Castle. Spanish explorers also traveled through Yavapai County. Antonio de Espejo visited the Jerome area in 1581, Juan de Onate explored the area in 1604 and Friar Francis Garces visited in 1776.

Sedona Golf Resort Community Association: Family ~ Friends ~ Neighbors Message from SGRCA Board President I am happy to report to SGRC Association that the dip on Ridge Trail Dr. at the Sedona Golf Resort has been repaired (as I am sure you and your teeth have noticed)!!! The process for solving this problem was: UniSource Energy Services (gas company) out of Flagstaff assumed the role of coordinating body. Their personnel contacted each of the other utilities (electric, gas, water and telephone) to mark their lines in the area of the dip. Following the marking of the lines, Unisource cut a 10’ x 20’ “bell hole” by jack hammering the Frances Hawley designated area and removing all old payment and digging down to the lines. All utilities checked their lines – result was the original electrical trench had not been back filled (compacted) correctly resulting in the area sinking over time. Unisource repaired the trench with new compacted sand and a good back fill base, followed by new paving. The result is the road is smooth with no dip. This was accomplished due to the diligence, perseverance, knowledge and forbearance of Board Member, Patrick Cassidy, right. He stayed on this project, spending hours of his time in discussion with many entities, to ensure a safe and comfortable road to travel. We, as a Community, owe him tremendous thanks and a debt of gratitude for all his work. We also appreciate the coordinate efforts of Jeremy Hayman, General Manager, Sedona Golf Resort. And, by the way, did I mention this was all accomplished at NO COST to the Association. Thank you, Unisource Energy Services. COMMUNITY NEWS: The Fall Mixer ‘16 and Spring Fling ‘17 Our Fall Mixer is history and the Spring Fling is in the planning stages (See insert for details). We had the greatest attendance and the most door prizes of any past event. Fun events included Raffle Meet & Greet to see familiar faces and make new friends, the Golf Tournament and Putting Contest. Applause to our Community for your support and enjoyment. With those attendance numbers, we had some problems and disappointments that we sincerely regret. We are limited in reservations by the capacity/seating at the Golf Resort and we had to close reservations when we reached that point.

CHAPTER 7 The Enduring Hopi Peter Iverson “What then is the meaning of the tricentennial observance? It is a reaffirmation of continuity and hope for the collective Hopi future.” The Hopi world is centered on and around three mesas in northeastern Arizona named First, Sec- ond, and Third. It is at first glance a harsh and rugged land, not always pleasing to the untrained eye. Prosperity here can only be realized with patience, determination, and a belief in tomorrow.1 For over 400 years, the Hopis have confronted the incursion of outside non-Indian societies. The Spanish entered Hopi country as early as 1540. Then part of Francisco Vásquez de Coronado’s explor- ing party invaded the area with characteristic boldness and superciliousness. About twenty Spaniards, including a Franciscan missionary, confronted some of the people who resided in the seven villages that now comprise the Hopi domain, and under the leadership of Pedro de Tovar, the Spanish over- came Hopi resistance, severely damaging the village of Kawaiokuh, and winning unwilling surrender.

  • Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place
    Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place A Historic Resource Study of Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks and the Surrounding Areas By Hal K. Rothman Daniel Holder, Research Associate National Park Service, Southwest Regional Office Series Number Acknowledgments This book would not be possible without the full cooperation of the men and women working for the National Park Service, starting with the superintendents of the two parks, Frank Deckert at Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Larry Henderson at Guadalupe Mountains National Park. One of the true joys of writing about the park system is meeting the professionals who interpret, protect and preserve the nation’s treasures. Just as important are the librarians, archivists and researchers who assisted us at libraries in several states. There are too many to mention individuals, so all we can say is thank you to all those people who guided us through the catalogs, pulled books and documents for us, and filed them back away after we left. One individual who deserves special mention is Jed Howard of Carlsbad, who provided local insight into the area’s national parks. Through his position with the Southeastern New Mexico Historical Society, he supplied many of the photographs in this book. We sincerely appreciate all of his help. And finally, this book is the product of many sacrifices on the part of our families. This book is dedicated to LauraLee and Lucille, who gave us the time to write it, and Talia, Brent, and Megan, who provide the reasons for writing. Hal Rothman Dan Holder September 1998 i Executive Summary Located on the great Permian Uplift, the Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns national parks area is rich in prehistory and history.

First, I would like to thank Jay Buckley of Brigham Young University, who helped me hone my interest of the American West into a viable project and encouraged me to broaden my perspectives by searching for native voices in my research. I must also credit him with giving me the tools to pursue graduate education and fulfill my dream of becoming an historian. Next, I greatly appreciate the time and effort of Todd Kerstetter, who has served as my advisor for the duration of my time at Texas Christian University and has provided consistent and constant advice, both professional and personal. His guidance in the classroom and during the research process has been invaluable, and he painstakingly read each portion of this thesis multiple times and offered constructive criticism to help shape it into readable history. I also thank the other members of my thesis committee, Susan Ramirez and Alan Gallay, whose candor and helpfulness has been greatly appreciated. I would also like to thank my fellow graduate students in the TCU history department, some of whom read portions of this thesis during the beginning stages and offered feedback, and many others who encouraged and taught me along the way.

    The Pueblo Reforms: Spanish Imperial Strategies & Negotiating Control in New Mexico A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Paul M. Rellstab December 2013 © 2013 Paul M. Rellstab. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled The Pueblo Reforms: Spanish Imperial Strategies & Negotiating Control in New Mexico by PAUL M. RELLSTAB has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Mariana L. Dantas Associate Professor of History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT RELLSTAB, PAUL M., M.A., December 2013, History The Pueblo Reforms: Spanish Imperial Strategies & Negotiating Control in New Mexico Director of Thesis: Mariana L. Dantas “The Pueblo Reforms” investigates Spanish and Pueblo interactions in New Mexico from the mid-sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth centuries. Building off the historiography on Spanish early modern imperial policies, the thesis places New Mexico within the historical context of Spanish imperial expansion in the Americas and efforts to control native populations. As the Spanish attempted to expand to areas beyond Mexico City, mendicant orders became their strongest allies: by converting natives, Franciscan missionaries promised to transform Indians into productive vassals of the Crown. Unlike areas with centralized Spanish authority, New Mexico did not count on a significant civil and military Spanish presence. The Church, represented by Franciscan missionaries, thus became the most stable institutional presence the Crown could promote. However, similar to other regions of the empire, the trajectory of Spanish control in New Mexico was subject to local exigencies and actors, particularly the Pueblo Indians.

  • Moquis and Kastiilam: Coronado and the Hopis
    Moquis and Kastiilam: Coronado and the Hopis THOMAS E. SHERIDAN, SteWART B. KOYIYUMPteWA, ANTON T. DAUGHteRS, T. J. FERGUSON, LEIGH KUWANWISIWMA, DAle S. BRENNEMAN, AND LeeWAYNE LOMAYESteWA The following document and interview constitute the first chapter in Volume I of Moquis and Kastiilam: Hopis, Spaniards, and the Trauma of History. When published, the two volumes will tell, from both Hopi and Spanish points of view, the story of Spanish attempts to conquer and missionize the Hopi Indians of northeastern Arizona between 1540, when the Coronado expedition first breached the Pueblo world, to 1821, when Mexico won its independence from Spain.1 For nearly five hundred years, the story has been overwhelmingly one-sided. Historians and anthropologists have relied upon documents written by representatives of the Spanish empire. Hopi voices have been silenced, ignored, or relegated to “myth.” Those of us on the Hopi History Project, a formal collaboration between the University of Arizona and the Hopi Tribe, have attempted to restore a balance to the historical record by presenting not only Spanish documents about the “Moquis,” the Spanish term for Hopis, but also Hopi oral traditions about the “Kastiilam,” the Hopi term for Spaniards. Some of those traditions had made their way into print before our project started (Nequatewa 1967 [1936]; James 1974; Courlander 1971; Yava 1978). Others come from interviews with Hopi elders carried out by Stewart B. Koyiyumptewa of the Hopi Cultural Preservation Office (CPO), a three-day meeting with members of the Hopi Tribe’s Cultural Resources Advisory Task Team (CRATT), and discussions between University of Arizona researchers and Hopi CPO staff.
