Did you know that the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico are some of the few Native American peoples who have never left their ancestral lands? Join SchoolArts and CRIZMAC in Santa Fe in July for our Celebration of Pueblo Indian Art and Culture, July 12-19, 2015. You don't have to be a teacher to join us and family members and friends are also invited.
You'll experience the spectacular scenery of New Mexico and learn about the rich cultural history and artistic vitality of the Pueblo Indians. Centuries ago ancestral Pueblo people settled and flourished along the Rio Grande River. Today contemporary Pueblo Indians continue to practice their traditions and live rich artistic lives in the modern world. Some of the activities you will enjoy include visits to renowned museums, tours of historical sites and monuments, visits to the Taos Pueblo, Santo Domingo Pueblo, Pojoaque Cultural Center and Roxanne Swentzell’s Tower Gallery. Firsthand experiences with award-winning Native American artists and presentations by Native American scholars, make this a unique, educational, and remarkable trip. You'll join SchoolArts magazine editor Nancy Walkup and CRIZMAC president Stevie Mack for this unique trip, which offers you a rare opportunity to explore behind the scenes the artistic and cultural traditions of the Pueblo cultures.
