Who Are the Pueblos? The History and Legacy of the Ancient-to-Contemporary Puebloans
July 2 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Drawing on historical, cultural, and archaeological evidence surrounding US Southwest ancestral sites, this presentation offers an analysis of the Ancestral Puebloan and Native American presence in the West, especially in the Four Corners region. Emphasis is placed on reassessing former historical negative stereotypes of past and present Puebloan communities, highlighting the diversity, sophistication, and complexity of these peoples as exhibited through their culture, language and philosophy.
Jon Ghahate is of the Pueblos of Laguna and Zuni, of the Turkey and Badger Clans. He is a Pueblo Cultural Educator and Chaco Canyon National Historical Park Tour Guide. Jon speaks frequently on Southwestern Indigenous Civilizations, the history of New Mexico’s Pueblo cultures, and New Mexico history as it applies to the Indigenous civilizations in the state.
