Tsianina Lomawaima, Co-Chair Myla Vicenti Carpio ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2015 DEDICATION We have lived upon this land from days beyond history’s records, far past any living memory, deep into the time of legend. The story of my people and the story of this place are one single story. No man can think of us without thinking of this place. We are always joined together. - Taos Pueblo elder and Tribal Manifesto I dedicate this dissertation to the red willow children of the past, present, and future. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to acknowledge the various people who have journeyed with me in recent years as I have worked toward completing this dissertation. First, I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to un-tdahm-wapu-ee pien-pah hut un-kah-wapu-ee uub-uuh-tsemah (my late father mountain cloud and my late mother new chokecherry) who brought me into this world and made me who I am today. Throughout the struggles and trials of this dissertation, I thought about them daily and missed them dearly. I hope they are walking with the spirits of our ancestors. Secondly, I would like to thank my loving wife Arvella, my darling Missy, and my sweetheart Nick who have each inspired me along this journey from the place of the red willows to the setting sun’s house in the west.

  • Taos Pueblo Migration Theories: Indigenous Push and Pull Factors
    Taos Pueblo Migration Theories: Indigenous Push and Pull Factors by Amanda J. Montoya A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved April 2018 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Elizabeth Sumida Huaman, Co-Chair Netra Chhetri, Co-Chair Laura Harjo ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2018 ABSTRACT This dissertation explores Brain Drain and Brain Circulation phenomena at Taos Pueblo, an Indigenous community located in northern New Mexico, USA. The study examines the push and pull factors that influence the migration of educated Taos Pueblo tribal members. The information contained in this dissertation was derived from a study that was completed from 2016-2017 in Taos Pueblo. It has become evident that Indigenous communities worldwide are currently experiencing massive migration away from reservations, rural, and communities of origin and towards urbanized centers. The research conducted in this dissertation was focused on both patterns and trends and possible distinct reasons for intellectual migration, especially in Indigenous communities. This dissertation is separated into three sections. The first part is a journal article that focused on Taos Pueblo intellectual migration patterns. The article draws from studies literature review, fieldwork methodology, methods, data and findings. The second part is a book chapter that centers on a literature review and theory development. The book chapter includes a discussion on the study findings and contains broad recommendations for addressing brain drain and promoting brain circulation in Taos Pueblo. The third and final section is a Policy Paper is aimed at two audiences, the first is Indigenous Leadership and secondly, college age students who are interested in working with Indigenous Communities.

  • Colonial New Mexico
    COLONIAL NEW MEXICO INTRODUCTION During the late evening hours of 15 July 1945, Enrico Fermi wandered among his fellow scientists at the Trinity Test Site soliciting bets. He wondered. Would the test bomb ignite the atmosphere? And, if so, would it destroy just New Mexico or destroy the world? A deafening roar, a brilliant orange ball of fire and a thunderous shockwave at 5:29:45 a.m. the next morning answered his question. In that same instant, the military future of New Mexico departed dramatically from its martial past. Very quickly, a territory and state that was often an outpost of empire and a battleground for Native Americans and Europeans, was becoming inextricably linked to a new ideological and imperial struggle being waged on a global scale. Despite that, two things remained constant. New Mexico would be just as it had been, dependant on a military presence for survival and stability. Secondly, those who would take part in modern conflict came from often diverse backgrounds. From the warrior traditions of the ancient Pueblo Indians to the significance of the state in the military-industrial complex of the atomic age, New Mexico's military heritage has been and continues to be defined by the contributions of peoples from a variety of cultures and backgrounds. For four centuries after the first Spanish expedition, New Mexicans fought each other in a prolonged struggle for control of the land, its resources and even its people before uniting together in the twentieth century against foreign powers. The legacy of these conflicts extends far beyond the fields of battle to an important and influential element in New Mexico's society - the veterans themselves.

Ancestral Puebloan Agriculture • Agriculture in the area that is now the American Southwest began with the Ancestral Puebloan people around sometime between 2000 and 1200 BCE. • By the first millennium CE the Hohokam people in present day Arizona were building complex irrigation systems to water their fields. Some of their canals were over a mile long and parts of this system still supply water to Phoenix, AZ with minimal modifications. • The Hohokam, the Mogollon, and the Chacons all practiced settled agriculture, built complex irrigation systems, and lived in large cities hundreds of years before Europeans came to the Southwest.
