Photos from the 2018 Grand Lodge Annual Communication Photos from the 2018 Grand Lodge Annual Communication Grand Lodge EMail Web NM Freemason EMail [email protected] http://www.nmmasons.org [email protected] The New Mexico Freemason Grand Master’s Message Behold how good and how pleasant it is for Brethren to dwell together in unity! Welcome to Team 2018! Serving as Grand Master of Masons in New Mexico is an indescribable honor, and I thank you all for the opportunity to work together and make New Mexico Masonry the best it can be. I am pleased to report that Team 2018 hit the ground running (and I am doing my best to keep up). At the Annual Communication, the Grand Lodge of New Mexico Wikipedia page was unveiled. Grand Historian WB Tyler Anderson and Education Committee Chair WB Jay Williams worked tirelessly on this project, and it shows. Over the years the Brethren have indicated that they would like greater presence in the world of social media and this project was the first step in Adam Hathaway advancing that goal for this year. Please check it out. Grand Master of Masons Ten days after the Annual Communication, Public Relations Chair and Webmaster WB in New Mexico 2018-19 K.T. Manis debuted the new Grand Lodge Web page. It has increased functionality and will continue to roll out more features over time. Please check out nmmasons.org. A note of thanks to all those who worked over the last few years to make progressive improvements to the web page and general technology, RWB Gary Baker, RWB David Cordova, RWB Stephen Balke and WB Tom Goodgame, to name a few. For the current year, Technology Committee Chair Alex Cosby and his team worked many behind the scenes hours to improve our technological infrastructure in order to allow the other advancement to be made. Also note that last year, RWB Steve Almager and WB K.T. Manis created a New Mexico Freemasons Facebook page, which provides a forum for all New Mexico Masons to share information and philosophy. This is in addition to the traditional Grand Lodge of New Mexico AF&AM page, which is one way for the Grand Lodge administration to send out updates on activities and initiatives. The Public Relations Committee has also created an Instagram account, in response to requests for additional social media platforms. MASONICon, the Masonic leadership and education convention, was held on June 8 and 9 at the Ballut Abyad Shrine in Albuquerque. RWB Steve Alamager, Chair, and WB K.T. Manis, Vice Chair, scheduled more than 50 sessions presented by talented and enlightened Brothers from all across New Mexico. It is not a coincidence that the Public Relations leadership team is also the MASONICon leadership team. This year’s MASONICon was one of the biggest and best to date. On April 7, the Lodge of Research of New Mexico and Chapman Lodge No. 2 hosted a memorial dedication for RWB Joab Houghton, Mason, and First Territorial Supreme Court Justice of New Mexico. We were joined by RWB Joab’s descendent and the State of New Mexico Historian. Grand Historian Emeritus David Milles was the creator, developer, and driving force for this event. Not only did the fraternity honor a distinguished Brother with a tombstone dedication ceremony, but we were also joined by members of the community in addition to Brothers who travelled hours to attend. This event was an amazing success because of all who collaborated to make it so. If anyone knows of other opportunities to do the same, please let us know. Thanks also go to WB Noah Shapiro, Publications Chair, and RWB Bob Sherman for their work in bringing back the New Mexico Freemason. It was discontinued last year because the Grand Lodge did not have the infrastruc- ture to distribute this great work to enough members of the Craft to justify all of the work put into it. The Great Database Project, mentioned later in the article will address this issue. With this very busy first quarter almost behind us, I would like to remind the Brethren to always keep in mind the most important aspect of Freemasonry: Our Ritual. It teaches us how to treat other and every person in the world. It is a constant reminder of the Great Architect of the Universe and our work in His grand design. Our Ritual and subsequent Obligations make us unique, both as individuals and as a Brotherhood. To this end, two programs are revitalized. The first initiative is the MWB Ronald A. Brinkman Lodge Ritual Award, created by MWB Bobby Arther, during his year as Grand Master, to recognize lodges for excellence in performing sections.

Each section is to be demonstrated to a Grand Lodge Officer, DDGM, or DDGL. The second initiative is the Individual Ritual Achievement Pin to recognize Brothers who put sections on the book. I am asking that every Brother who is able to put sections on the book to do so. Sections can be taken by the Grand Lecturer, Worshipful Masters, Lodge Ritual Officers and DDGLs. Detailed information is provided by MWB Jeff Johnson, Grand Lecturer, and the DDGLs. I traditionally put 8 sections on the book each year and this year, I promise to do more. Please join me in strengthening ritual proficiency in our grand jurisdiction. Another vital issue is communication from the Grand Lodge Administration to the Lodges and to the Brethren. I have been told very strongly during my visitations that this must be improved. The good news is that the new MOR database has excellent functionality and will serve us well in many capacities. The bad news is over the years, previous databases were not well populated and the Grand Lodge Administration has incomplete records, lacking in different cases functional mailing addresses, email addresses and phone numbers, at the very least. The Mem- bership Committee is created for two purposes. Its primary purpose, the Great Database Project, is to see that all of the records become complete and afterwards maintained. I am instructing the Worshipful Masters, Secretaries, DDGMs and DDGLs to work together to ensure that all records of all lodges are populated in the MORI database. There are sessions at MASONICon to provide training and guidance.

A historical review of two-year colleges and a legislative history of junior colleges in New Mexico are presented. Althougb Nee Mexico does not have a coordinated state system of junior colleges, enrollment in two-year institutions has increased over 200 percent during the last 10 years. New Mexico now has nine branch community college campuses, which are governed by a parent four-year college, and onlyone junior college, which is,controlled by a junior college board elected by the junior college district's voters. New Mexico also hes one military institute, three technical/vocational institutes, and five private and six public four-year institutions. In general, twoo.year colleges in New Mexico have been relegated to the status of stepchild of other institutions* Because they add prestige to the communities in which they are located, branch colleges give the parent institutions additional political clout in the state legislature; this political reality must be considered in future attempts to establish junior college legislation.

( In Santa Fe Donaciano Vigil, acting governor of New Mexico following the assassination of Governor Bent, sus­ pended the Vicario, chief representative of the Church, from exercising ecclesiastical functions on the ground that his ministrations were inimical to the American institutions which were gradually being introduced. These and similarly unwarranted infringements upon the rights of the Catholic church soon caused threats of rebellion.

  • The Genizaro Land Grant Settlements of New Mexico
    The Genizaro Land Grant Settlements of New Mexico MOISES GONZALES HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF GENIZARO SETTLEMENTS IN NEW MEXICO As defined by Fray Angelico Chavez, genizaro was the designation given to North American Indians of mixed tribal derivation living among the Hispanic population in Spanish fashion: that is, having Spanish surnames from their masters, Christian names through baptism, speaking a simple form of Spanish, and living together or sprinkled among the Hispanic towns and ranchos.1 Beginning in the 18th century, genizaro settlements were established by the Spanish to provide defensible communities on the frontier of New Spain. The strategic planning of these new towns was vital to the ability of the Spanish to sustain a presence in New Mexico during the early 1700s due to increased attacks by nomadic tribes such as the Navajo, Ute, Comanche, Apache, and Kiowa. Due to the immense pressure on the colony caused by these attacks, the settlement policy established by Governor Tomas Velez Gachupin, and continued by his successors, was to establish genizaro settlements at the fringe of the frontier to serve as a buffer zone between the nomadic tribes and the villas (principal settlements) of Santa Cruz, Santa Fe, and Albuquerque as well as many of the Pueblo communities.2 The permanence of these communities would alter the cultural landscape of New Mexico as well as blur the lines of distinction between European Spanish and Amerindian settlements in New Mexico. From the 1740s to the 1790s, towns such as Abiquiu, Las Trampas, San Miguel del Vado, Belen, Ojo Caliente, and San Miguel de Carnué were established as genizaro buffer settlements.3 During this period, MOISES GONZALES is assistant professor in the School of Architecture and Planning at the University of New Mexico.

Originally planned around defensible plazas, with semi-presidio status, the Colonial towns were created to serve as a buffer against the hostile incursions of the Comanche and Kiowa Indians. In 1821, William Becknell's wagon train crossed the Pecos River at San Miguel del Vado (St. Michael of the Ford) on its journey to Santa Fe from Kansas, Missouri. The route he established for those who followed, was the Santa Fe Trail. The great influx of American traders into New Mexico resulted in relative prosperity for the villages along the Pecos River. In 1841, the Texas-Santa Fe Expedition was captured at La Cuesta (Villanueva) by the forces of Governor Manuel Armijo of the Republic of Mexico. In the Mexican- Am er ican War of 1846, the Amer icans annexed the New Mexico terri- tory to the United States. General Kearny stopped in the Pecos River Valley towns and proclaimed the American occupation of New Mexico while in pursuit of the 22nd Regiment of the Mexican army. With the advent of the railroad to New Mexico in 1879, the towns which had been bypassed began to decline in importance.

  • New Mexico Psychological Association Cultural Diversity Course #2 Helped Shape, Common Anglo-American Perceptions of the Pueblos at the Time
    NMPA Cultural Diversity Course #2, New Mexico History 2 Thomas, Benjamin By Denise Holladay Damico Benjamin Morris Thomas influenced New Mexican history as Secretary of the Territory and Acting Governor; his most substantial contribution to the historical record, however, was as “Indian Agent.” The federal government employed Indian Agents to act as liaisons between the Department of the Interior and Native American tribes in the nineteenth century. As such, these agents were responsible for implementing policies designed to assimilate native groups into Anglo-American society. These policies included forcing nomadic tribes onto reservations, outlawing Native American ceremonial practices, attempting to teach Native Americans to farm in the Anglo-American manner, and sending native children to far-away boarding schools. The career of Benjamin Thomas reveals the impact these he had on the actual implementation of these policies. Though Thomas believed that his efforts to enact assimilation-driven policies were for the good, such efforts today seem ineffective at best and cruel at worst. Thomas was born on July 25, 1843 in Warren County, Indiana. He grew up on a farm with eleven brothers and sisters, several of whom eventually became politically influential in their own right. These connections would serve Thomas well, even once he moved west. He trained as a dentist and would fall back upon this profession in New Mexico for several years when he failed to attain political appointments. Thomas’ health was never good. In 1870, he traveled with family friend, fellow Presbyterian, and newly- appointed Indian Agent to the Hopi, William D. Crothers, to Arizona and New Mexico.

Historians have explored various parts of this movement in a discrete fashion, but never has anyone attempted to examine the history of the effort to create a Union Party across the decade of the 1850s. What I find is that all incarnations of the Union Party stressed a common devotion to the rule of law, which they saw as under threat by sectional agitators who stirred up the passions of the public. Whether in debates over the right of the federal government to coerce a state, the legality of the Fugitive Slave Act, and presence of filibustering oversees, or the violence which attended partisan elections, Americans’ respect for the rule of law seemed at issue throughout that turbulent decade.
