  • Crow Canyon Webinar - Hand-Slab Scrapers: Building Berms with Sandstone Slabs

    April 9, 2026  4:00 pm - 5:00 pm

    High-resolution archaeological surveys near Blanding, Utah have revealed a previously undocumented tool type on the Northern Colorado Plateau—expediently fashioned, unhafted sandstone slabs. We have interpreted these ancestral items as hand tools used to scrape and mound sediments and refer to them as “hand-slab scrapers.” These tools have been found among artificial berm-swale landscapes, and along prehistoric roads suggesting they were used in the construction and maintenance of these features.

    This presentation provides an in-depth description of hand-slab scrapers and reports on the experiments using replica tools to create a small berm-swale feature.

    * Registration and payment of $45 on the New Mexico Cheese Guild website required to attend. Active Maxwell Museum members will get a 25% off discount code. Registration link coming soon *

    Join us for this special event co-organized and co-sponsored by the New Mexico Cheese Guild. It will be a captivating exploration of human history through the lens of one of our oldest culinary technologies: cheese! This event traces the 11,000-year journey of dairy pastoralism, from its origins in the Near East to its eventual introduction to the Americas.

    Lessons from the Fertile Crescent and Beyond: The Deep History of Cheesemaking and its Arrival in the Indigenous Americas.

    Lecture by Dr. Paul Kindstedt (University of Vermont)

    What were the crucial prerequisites that enabled dairying and cheesemaking to arise for the first time in the Fertile Crescent of the Near East at the start of the Neolithic around 11,000 years ago? Using the grasslands of the Eurasian Steppe as a focal point, this talk explores the roles of human migration, cultural diffusion, and climatic stressors in the longevity of lacto-fermentation and specifically cheese technology.

    This historical framework, in turn, will then be used to examine how these pastoral systems that supported cheesemaking were introduced to the Americas by Spanish colonizer, permanently altering the agricultural landscape of the Western Hemisphere.

    After the talk, ticketed guests are invited to a delicious cheese-tasting and an opportunity to meet Dr. Kindstedt.

    Meet our Presenter

    Dr. Paul Kindstedt is a Professor Emeritus at the University of Vermont and a world-renowned scholar on the history and chemistry of cheese. His work bridges the gap between ancient archaeology and modern food science, offering a unique perspective on how cheese has shaped human civilization.

  • Crow Canyon Webinar - Ceramics is to Clay: What Pueblo Pottery Traditions Teach Us About Indigenous Environmental Relations

    April 23, 2026  4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
    Online

    This presentation examines Pueblo pottery as a living tradition and lifeway rooted in the landscape, tracing material and cultural continuities across a millennium and situating pottery within Indigenous Environmental Justice movements that resist pollution and extraction on ancestral homelands. By centering clay as a relational material with cultural, spiritual, and scientific meaning, the work challenges object- and data-driven ceramic studies and reframes pottery as an enduring relationship between people and place.

    Taking place every other first Sunday of the Month in our Docent Library.

    Books available for purchase in the Colleen Cloney Duncan Museum Shop

    Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, and as a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings―asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass―offer us gifts and lessons, even if we’ve forgotten how to hear their voices. In reflections that range from the creation of Turtle Island to the forces that threaten its flourishing today, she circles toward a central argument: that the awakening of ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other beings will we be capable of understanding the generosity of the earth, and learn to give our own gifts in return.

  • National Historic Preservation Act/Section 106 Training

    May 5, 2026 - May 6, 2026  
    Bureau Of Reclamation, 555 Broadway Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87102, USA

    Jornada Research Institute Training
    Course Title: The National Historic Preservation Act
    Fee: 190.00 (180.00 for students)

    Working with federal statutes can be a challenging enterprise. This is
    especially true with the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) We
    respond to Section 106 actions to assess potential impacts on historic
    properties, design and implement Section 110-driven projects, make
    eligibility determinations, and write agreements documents, often on a
    project-to project basis. In conjunction with these activities there must
    be consultation with the appropriate federal and state agencies,
    federally recognized Native American tribes and other stakeholders
    (such as irrigation and conservation districts). It is important that
    cultural resources practitioners be grounded in historic preservation
    laws, and learn the various approaches to implement the National
    Historic Preservation Act. JRI’s two-day training course on NHPA is
    designed to provide a foundation for CRM professionals and the general
    public to learn, understand and implement the Section 106 process and
    other requirements of NHPA. It can also serve as a refresher for CRM
    professionals as circumstances allow and the laws are revised or
    changed. The course is designed for anyone who, at some time or
    another, will have to be part of the compliance and review process for
    projects covered under the NHPA There are many misconceptions about
    what NHPA covers and how it relates to other laws such as the National
    Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Native American Graves
    Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA).

  • MMIWG2S Awareness Day Public Event

    May 5, 2026  10:00 am - 4:00 pm
    Maxwell Museum of Anthropology, 500 University Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87106, USA

    This free, public event is in honor of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2-Spirit Individuals (MMIWG2S) Awareness Day, which is observed on May 5, and is followed by the MMIWG2S National Week of Action (May 5-9). Our event will take place in the Maxwell Museum Courtyard, where there will be an information table with statistics/facts on the MMIWG2S crisis, Laboratory Collections, and ways in which the Museum/Laboratory contribute to ongoing identification efforts, including the purpose and progress of the Missing and Unidentified Human Remains (MUHR) Program grant.

    Another table will offer free drinks, snacks, and MMIWG2S stickers. Lastly, we will have a table with a community art project - visitors can write names of missing, murdered, and recovered individuals, thoughts, feelings, etc. on pre-cut pieces of paper. The cutouts will be arranged into the pattern of a traditional Star Quilt to be displayed in the Maxwell Museum north gallery "Ortiz Center Gathering Space" during the following Week of Action. Visitors will also be able to make a beaded awareness bracelet from red, black, and white pony beads and string.

    At 1 pm, there will be a remembrance/honor ceremony for those missing and/or murdered, those identified, and those that remain in the Museum's Repository. The ceremony will be presided over by a member of the Native community.

    This is a family-friendly, all-age appropriate event. Its main organizers are the Maxwell Museum's Collections Manager of Human Osteology and Laboratory Supervisor, Ashley Burch, and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) Coordinator, Ash Boydston-Schmidt.

  • Isotope Analysis in Archaeology

    May 6, 2026  4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

    Isotope analysis is increasingly used in archaeology to understand the diets, origins, and patterns of mobility of both humans and animals in the past, making it a useful tool for any archaeologist to consider applying in their work. This seminar will introduce nonspecialist archaeologists to the essentials of isotope analysis: what it is, how it works, and what it can be used to understand. The seminar will cover the major isotope systems commonly used in archaeological analysis (carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, strontium, and sulfur) and provide a detailed case study to illustrate how they can be applied and interpreted. The seminar will close with a discussion of scientific and ethical concerns in sampling for isotope analysis.

  • Crow Canyon Webinar - Indigenous Incorporation: Innovation and Sovereignty in Australian Genomics

    May 7, 2026  4:00 pm - 5:00 pm

    The framing of “human,” “rights,” and “sovereignty” are assumed to be agreed upon, but contextual reality is often different from theory. Indigenous communities vie for power and sovereignty without political legitimacy and therefore form corporations to represent themselves. Without legal power, they turn to the leverage of natural resources leading them into private industry corporate contracts. Pharmaceutical and mining agreements offer the potential for power and governance within a system that offers none, but not without risk. Choosing to operate within Western frameworks and ideology often means the automatic abandonment of Indigenous culture and ways of being. However, there is a now growing contingency of Indigenous Australian scientists attempting to rewrite the historically racist methodologies for genetics research across the country by incorporating cultural knowledge. Will corporations and contracts provide a bypass to direct colonial oversight, or is genomics simply the newest extractive industry? Decisions made in one Indigenous context always have enormous ramifications for others, and the legal precedence is guaranteed to be impactful for decades. This dissertation project follows the scientific, ethical, legal, and cultural quandaries involved in the formation and implementation of genomics projects and extractive industries by and with Indigenous peoples in Australia.
