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).

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.

Description: Tour an area in the Jemez Ranger District. This field trip will provide us with a two-fold experience. After driving to the site, our Forest Ranger/archaeologist will briefly go over the high points of archaeological field work: Obtaining funding and permit, surveying, measuring, site grid, mapping trenching, pick, shovel and then use of the trowel. At this point we move on to a “Walk and Talk” at some interesting features in the area.​​

Angelyn Bass & Douglas Porter
Architectural Conservators​

In the ancient Southwest, earth was the primary raw material used for constructing buildings. In addition to it forming walls, it was molded into built-in features, applied as plaster to walls, floors and roofs, and used as paints and washes for wall paintings and to convey overall color and sheen to architectural surfaces. But earthen materials are extremely fragile and prone to weathering and erosion. This talk will cover how these raw materials are analyzed and along with architectural and structural examination, help guide value-based preservation strategies that respect materiality and authenticity.

Angelyn Bass is a Research Assistant Professor of Anthropology at UNM who focuses on analysis of earthen plaster and building materials. She was the conservator of Maya wall paintings in Guatemala from 2002 – 2024.

Douglas Porter holds a research faculty position in the School of Engineering at the University of Vermont. His research focuses on the stabilization and repair of precontact structures.
