Doctoral Fellow Presentation on Archival Research Project for Academic Year 2019-2020

The Parral Archive

Monday, May 18, 2020

María (Cony) Márquez Sándoval was the Center of Southwest Studies at Fort Lewis College Doctoral Fellow for the 2019-2020 academic year. In addition to teaching in the History Department, Cony aided the Center's archives by working with the Parral Archive (El Archivo de Hidalgo del Parral, 1631-1821) materials. She was able to identify documents from the Spanish colonial period that related to the Spanish expansion into the Four Corners Region. She translated these documents from Spanish into English, and we will be uploading the Spanish documents and their English translations side by side on the Center’s website in the near future. In this YouTube presentation Cony describes the project.

Indigenous Futurity

Indigenous Futurity

Location: CSWS Stairwell

In May 2023, curatorial fellow Elise Boulanger (Osage Nation) co-taught a Maymester EXCEL course with internationally renowned artist Nanibah Chacon (Diné, Chicana) at the Center of Southwest Studies. Students participating in this Maymester course designed and painted a mural informed by research conducted in the Center’s museum collections and conversations about cultural celebration and belonging, thoughtful representations of non-dominant cultural values and worldviews, and connection to land. The mural, which embraces Traditional Cultural Knowledge, references a Navajo sampler-style textile and incorporates historical and contemporary weavings from the Center of Southwest Studies’ Durango Collection® of Southwest textiles, sash belts from the collaborating artists’ communities, and other Center collections items.
