  • Renewing the Creative Economy of New Mexico
    Building on the Past, Facing the Future: Renewing the Creative Economy of New Mexico Jeffrey Mitchell And Gillian Joyce With Steven Hill And Ashley M. Hooper 2014 This report was commissioned by the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs and prepared by UNM’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research. As will be discussed in this report, we interviewed arts and culture workers and entrepreneurs across the state of New Mexico. We asked them for two words to describe New Mexico in general and for two words to describe how New Mexico has changed. We entered these data into a ’word cloud’ software program. The program visually represents the data so that the more often a word is mentioned, the larger it appears. The figure above is a representation of the words offered by members of the New Mexico creative economy when interviewed for this project. Acknowledgements We would like to thank Secretary Veronica Gonzales for her vision – without her, this project would not have been possible. Also, at the Department of Cultural Affairs we would like to thank Anne Green-Romig, Loie Fecteau and Paulius Narbutas for their support and patience. At the Department of Tourism, we would like to thank Jim Orr for his help with tourism data. We owe a debt of gratitude to the more than 200 arts and culture workers throughout the state who took time out of their days to offer their insights and experiences in the arts and culture industries of New Mexico. At UNM-BBER, we would like to thank Jessica Hitch for her intrepid data collection, Catherine A.

FIERMAN* NE OF THE MOST charming stories that has currency O throughout the Southwest concerns the Cathedral at Santa Fe dedicated to St. Francis of Assisi. Above the en­ trance of the Cathedral2 is a Triangle and inscribed within its borders is the Tetragrammaton, the word for God in-> scribed in Hebrew letters. The construction of this Cathedral was initiated during the episcopate of Archbishop John B. Lamy. Its cornerstone was laid on July 14, 1869 and, like many houses of worship, its construction extended over a peroid of years. Twitchell recounts that in 1912 it was still incomplete.3 In recent years it has appeared incongruous to many peo­ ple that the Catholic Church, whose prayer language is Latin, should have a Hebrew inscription over its entrance, even though it was enclosed in a Triangle. It was not questioned or considered unusual at the time that it was placed in the archway, if the lack of reference to the symbol in the local newspapers is a guide.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Indigenous Artists
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Indigenous Artists, Ingenuity, and Resistance at the California Missions After 1769 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Art History by Yve Barthelemy Chavez 2017 © Copyright by Yve Barthelemy Chavez 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Indigenous Artists, Ingenuity, and Resistance at the California Missions After 1769 by Yve Barthelemy Chavez Doctor of Philosophy in Art History University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Charlene Villaseñor Black, Chair This dissertation aims to place California Indian agency and artistry at the forefront of California mission art studies through close analysis of Chumash and Tongva practices at four of Southern California’s missions: San Gabriel, San Buenaventura, Santa Barbara, and Santa Inés. Although the mission churches and their decorations reflect European stylistic influences, all twenty-one mission sites are the products of California Indian ingenuity and resistance. By examining primary accounts and ethnographic sources, this dissertation presents an Indigenous reading of Chumash and Tongva dances, stone sculpting, basket weaving, and painting carried out under great adversity at the missions. After entering the missions, California Indians continued to practice their ancestors’ traditions that pre-dated the Franciscan friars’ 1769 arrival. California Indian artists also combined local materials with European and Mexican styles, which gave their art and the mission buildings a unique appearance. This dissertation draws upon decolonizing methodologies, rooted in interdisciplinary studies, to deconstruct Eurocentric biases in archival ii sources and romanticized misunderstandings in historical scholarship about mission art and California Indian contributions. The traditional art historical tools of formal analysis and iconography bring to light the artistic talents of California’s first peoples and dignify Indigenous art on its own terms.

Manufacture: Indigo blue designs (stencilled?). Richard E. Ahlborn THE PENITENTE MORADAS OF ABIQUIU By the early igth century, Spanish-speaking residents of vil- lages in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado felt the need for a brotherhood that would preserve their traditional social and religious beliefs. Known as "brothers of light," or penitentes, these Spanish-Americans centered their activities in a houselike building, or morada, especially equipped for Holy Week ceremonies. For the first time, two intact moradas have been fidly photo- graphed and described through the cooperation of the peni- tente brothers of Abiquiii, New Mexico. The Author: Richard E. Ahlborn is associate curator in the Division of Cultural History in the Smithsonian Institu- tion's Museum of History and Technology. Introduction This study describes two earthern buildings and Spain's former colonies—Mexico, Argentina, and the their special furnishings—humble but unique docu- Philippines—the penitentes in the mountainous region ments of Spanish-American culture. The two struc- that extends north of Albuquerque into southern Col- tures are located in Abiquiu, a rural, Spanish-speaking orado are remarkable for their persistence.

  • The Death Cart: Its Place Among the Santos of New Mexico
    The Death Cart: Its Place among the Santos of New Mexico BY THOMAS J. STEELE The carreta de la muerte is a small cart built in the style of the old oxcart in which rides an allegorical figure of death, such as a skeleton. Made in New Mexico and southern Colorado during the last part of the nineteenth century and the first part of the twentieth, it was a constant feature of the Penitente morada and, loaded with rocks and pulled by one of the brotherhood, an instrument of penance. In recent years two authors have presented accounts of the histori­ cal sources of the carreta. In a 1971 article in the Journal of American Folklore, Louisa R. Stark rejects the development of the New Mexican carreta either from the literary or artistic presentations of El Triunfo de la muerta or from presentations in old religious plays, since no New Mexican evidence of any such sources survives. Her thesis is that the carretas originated from the death floats (pasos) pulled or carried in Good Friday processions in Spain and Mexico; and it is plausible that there was such a model known to the first maker of a death cart. Stark's thesis continues with the assumption that the New Mexican cart originated during a decline in the clerical population of New Mexico--" after the first quarter of the nineteenth century and the departure of the clergy from New Mexico.' ' 1 The oldest New Mexican carreta known, however, was made somewhat later than that, around 1860 during a period of rising clerical population.

    THE FRANCISCAN FRIARS OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE PROVINCE July 2020 Volume 34 Number 7 I GIVE MYSELF TO THIS FRATERNITY WITH ALL MY HEART A Reflection by Jesus Osornio, OFM On July 2, 2020, a group of nine novices including myself professed our first vows of obedience, poverty and chastity into the Order of Friars Minor. Our ceremony took place in Old Mission Santa Barbara with Fr. David Gaa, OFM, and no more than 15 friars present there to witness our profession. The celebration of the first vows marks the end of the novitiate year and the beginning of the post-novitiate, a time of studies. My novitiate year was full of many good experiences. We practiced in some way the three me to live a Christian life practicing it with my vows. This year was for me the foundation of my sisters and brothers. The rite of profession was prayer life and an opportunity to grow into the full of powerful words and phrases said by me Franciscan charism through; ministry, and the friar whom received my vows, Franciscan history classes, prayer life with my provincial David Gaa, OFM. Two of many brothers, personal prayer and community life in phases that I still have in my head are first "I general. give myself to this fraternity with all my heart… guided by the example of Mary Immaculate" The vows for me are a path to follow, they help and the other in the response of Fr. David, 0 1 I GIVE MYSELF TO THIS FRATERNITY WITH ALL MY HEART CONTINUED "if you observe them I promise you life everlasting" These two phases really caught my attention.

  • New Mexico State History, Course 1 C
    New Mexico State History, Course 1 c. 10000-9000 B.C. - Clovis People The people we now call Clovis, were in North America by the end of the last ice age. It has been suggested that they were here between 12,000 and 11,200 years ago though new research and discoveries may move this date back and suggested dates could be as far back as 15,000 years to 24,000 years. Proof that Paleo-Indians had lived in the New World since the late Pleistocene was first provided by the discovery of human artifacts associated with the bones of long-extinct animals at Folsom, New Mexico in 1926-1927. In 1932, 150 miles south of Folsom, a large but extremely well-made stone tool located near a very large animal tooth was found. Excavations were carried out at Blackwater Draw near Clovis, New Mexico. Blackwater Locality No. 1 is the "Clovis Type Site" for the oldest accepted widespread culture in the New World. Evidence of their "fluted" points (a New World invention), other stone and bone weapons, tools, and processing implements are found at the site. These implements are in association with extinct Pleistocene megafauna such as Columbian mammoth, ancient bison, large horses, and large turtles. Other Pleistocene age animals that visited the site for food and water were tapir, camel, four-prong antelope, tampulama, llama, deer, dire wolf, ground sloth, short-faced bear, saber-tooth cat, shovel-toothed amebeledon, beaver, armadillos, and peccary. Although the archaeological remains associated with the Clovis site and culture are bones and stones, they represent a living culture at one time present in the geographical area we now call New Mexico.

  • Angélico Chávez Reads Willa Cather's Death
    Let’s Disagree to Agree: Angélico Chávez Reads Willa Cather’s Death Comes for the Archbishop _____________________________________________________ JONATHAN DETTMAN UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA AT KEARNEY Willa Cather scarcely needs an introduction. By the 1920’s her work had placed her in the pantheon of American writers, and while contemporary critics such as H.L. Mencken succeeded in demoting her to a secondary tier (O’Brien), she remains a major literary figure and the subject of ongoing study. In her letters, Cather revealed that she considered Death Comes for the Archbishop (1927) to be her best novel. Certainly it was the novel that marked the height of her critical success, even if it was outsold by her subsequent work, Shadows on the Rock (1931), which ran in Knopf’s Book of the Month Club. Amid the acclaim for Death Comes for the Archbishop, however, there are a few dissenting voices, notably from those closest to the novel’s subject. These dissenters readily acknowledge the novel’s artistic worth, but object strongly to its negative depiction of New Mexican priest Antonio José Martínez, who plays the foil to Cather’s title character, the admirable Jean-Marie Latour. In order to set the record straight, one New Mexico historian produced both a book of essays and a play.1 As Steele and Weinberg note, the debate surrounding “her highly imaginative fiction continues to echo raucously in the halls of history” (475). Attempts to correct Cather’s misrepresentation emerge generally from within the context of Chicano revisionist historiography of the 1960s and 70s. This revisionism pushes back against the dominant Anglo-American narrative of the Southwest, which holds that, prior to annexation by the United States, the land was mostly empty and entirely mismanaged by corrupt and backwards Mexicans.
