PAGE O NE • ARIZONA HIGHWAYS • JULY 1956 f \ INTHE SUN BOOKS IN THE SUN: In 1941 Gusse Thomas Smith published a singularly valuable and charming book entitled "Birds of the Arizona Desert." It is a collector's item and copies are rare to come by. Now the book has been republished in a new, revised and enlarged edition as "Birds of the Southwestern Desert." Once again we are introduced to the most popular bird companions along the always fascinating desert trails. Birds are described simply in such warm and sympathetic language we do not have to be learned ornithologists to understand what the author is saying. And the bird drawings by Harriet Morton Holmes are exquisite. The author came to the Arizona desert many years ago with her five-year-old son, who was very ill. The desert cured him and gave Tvlrs. Smith a deep love and understanding of this vast area of sun, strangeness and distance. Few people come to know the desert life, especially bird life, as well as she. Thirty-eight of the most common desert birds appear in the cast of characters, so Mrs. Smith's book is an indispensable guide to those who want to know the desert better. "Birds of the Southwestern Desert" is available at all Arizona book stores or can be ordered direct from Doubleshoe Publishers, Scottsdale, Arizona. The price: $1.50. "Echoes of the Past" is another Arizona produced book of con­ siderable charm and interest. It carries the descriptive subtitle: "Tales of Old Yavapai in Arizona." Published by the Yavapai Cow Belles, the book's 159 pages presents portraits of a vanished frontier and recreates the life and times thereof. A few of the chapter titles indicate the nature of the subject matter: "A Teacher of 1906," "The Pioneer Doctor," "The First Cat in Yavapai County," "The Cowboys of Old," "Wild Cattle" and others. "Echoes of the Past" is both human and homey. Within its cov­ ers is the past of the open range and many vignettes of hardy pioneers who brought civilization to a wilderness. The Yavapai Cow Belles, an organization of ranch women of Yavapai County, are to be congratulated for a fine job of publish­ ing. Leorah Cooper Morgan and her fellow editors are also to be congratulated for putting together a book readable and worthy. "Echoes of the Past" is available at all book stores in Arizona or can be ordered direct from the Yavapai Cow Belles, Prescott, Arizona. The book, liberallv illustrated, sells for $3.00.

He had worked in the low-o-radeb vanadium mines further west, when they were operating during the war; and he had done son:e prospecting on his own. Now he was ready to try agam. It was a hard winter among the Navaios. Food was low in the hogans, and many people v~ere l:rnngry; and so in the bedroll Willie Cisco tied behmd his saddle, he did not have much in the way of supplies.

WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, please see http://www.wpi.edu/academics/ugradstudies/project-learning.html Abstract The Santa Fe Indian School is looking for new means to remember the past and imagine the future. We developed a framework for a 3D model and digital archive for the past campus of SFIS and a 3D model for planning purposes. We recommend giving the students the opportunity to further their education in technologies and methods used to continue these projects. 1 Executive Summary With plans for expansion after consequences due to demolition of the old campus, the Santa Fe Indian School (SFIS) has plans for expanding education within the curriculum for the purpose of developing ways of presenting future plans to the community. In addition, information regarding the old campus was not collected, and later lost with the demolition. SFIS needs a system of gathering information for this issue to not occur in the future.

This was the most elegant and meticulous publication on American Indian art ever offered for sale. Its publication came at a time when American Indian art of the West and Southwest was prominent in the public imagination. Of particular interest to the art world in that decade were the new watercolors being made by Kiowa and Pueblo artists; a place was being made for their display within the realm of the American “fine arts” traditions in museums and art galleries all over the country.

  • Book Review: Native American Picture Books of Change: the Art Of
    Volume 43 Number 2 2004 11/4/10 7:05 PM Page 46 BOOK REVIEW Native American Picture Books of Change: The Art of Historic Children’s Editions, by Rebecca C. Benes with a foreword by Gloria Emerson. Santa Fe: Museum of New Mexico Press, 2004. Ilus., notes, biblio., index, 168 pages. ISBN0-89013-471-5, $45.00. Almost as soon as Elizabeth Willis De Huff, wife of the newly-appointed superintendent of the Santa Fe Indian School, John De Huff, arrived in 1918, she began to involve herself in the education of the children. Here she found military discipline; English only; a substandard educational system, devoid of the arts; and teaching material that was totally irrelevant to the lives of the Native children. By encouraging the students to share their folklore and songs, she collected some 50 tales, which she compiled into a reader-sized book. For an illustrator, she turned to a talented student, 18-year-old Fred Kabotie. Harcourt-Brace published the book, Tatay’s Tales, in 1922, and nominated it for the American Library Association’s Newberry Award, that honored the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children in 1923. It lost by one vote—to Hugh Lofting’s Voyages of Dr. Doolittle! Thus began four decades of publishing, whereby Anglo writers, teachers, and folklorists, desperate for books and materials that related to the Indian students’ cultural traditions, collaborated to produce English and bilingual books that also featured some soon-to-be leading Native artists of the 20th century, including Allan Houser, Oscar Howe, Gerald Nailor, Quincy Tahoma, Andrew Tsinajinnie, Hoke Denetsosie, and Andrew Standing Soldier.

  • A Voyage with Helen Hardin, Southwest Artist. Kate T
    Hardin 1 A Transcendent journey through the motherline: A voyage with Helen Hardin, southwest artist. Kate T. Donohue, Ph.D., REAT* *Kate T. Donohue is an Expressive Arts Therapy core faculty member at the California Institute of Integral Studies, 1453 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA. 94103 and is in a Jungian oriented private practice In San Francisco. “The artist appeals to that part of our being…which is a gift and not an acquisition and therefore is more permanently enduring” (Joseph Conrad in Hyde, 1979, p. XI). Introduction The artist gives us a gift of her personal images, which can be a bridge to our own personal experience and a portal to archetypal symbols. Ten years ago, I had an extraordinary experience of discovering the artistic work of the Southwest artist Helen Hardin. At that moment, little did I know that her work and her life story would open me to my own experience in a fuller, and deeper way, but would also help many other women with whom I have worked discover their own richly layered and complex Motherline stories. My first glimpse of Helen Hardin’s creative process was through her image Visions of Heavenly Flight (see Figure1) which I had discovered serendipitously at the Institute of American Indian Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I could not stop looking at this piece and would come back to it several times in that afternoon. What was my attraction? I had always Hardin 2 loved the Hopi and Pueblo myth of the eagle as the sacred guardian of the sky, the one who has direct access to the sun Kachina, universal harmony, and the creator.

Washington, D.C. 20230 Re: Request for Tribal Input on Tribal Broadband Connectivity Grant Program Dear National Telecommunications and Information Administration, The announcement of a $1B broadband infrastructure for Tribes is a historic opportunity for Tribes to build out high-speed Internet Access and be our own solution to the digital divide. Now more than ever, and as demonstrated by the fact that over 90% of eligible Tribal lands were claimed as part of the 2.5Ghz Tribal Priority Window, Tribes are ready and anxious to assert Tribal self-determination in the telecommunication space. COVID-19 has revealed the fault lines of the digital divide in Indian Country, especially on rural Tribal lands. In fact, the lack of broadband connectivity is less of a divide and more of a digital chasm as the penalties for being unserved are steep. Personal, family, and community health and safety are compromised and opportunities, such as access to a high-quality education, are fewer compared to more affluent and connected populations. Santa Fe Indian School (SFIS) SFIS is owned and operated by the 19 Pueblos of New Mexico, serving over 700 students from the Pueblos, Navajo, and Apache Tribes of New Mexico as an off-reservation boarding school in Santa Fe, NM. In response to concerns about student safety and the safety of the communities from which they come, we have been operating in a 100% distance learning model since March 2020.
