"Behind Smoking Mirror Pendants and Powamu: Fremont-Hopi Cultural
Affiliation".
Dr. Lynda McNeil
Within the context of ongoing debates about the relationship between archaeology and oral history, this presentation uses linguistic, archaeological, and rock art evidence to corroborate Hopi oral accounts of migration and ceremonial traditions "from the south". The wealth of evidence will be reviewed showing how Basketmaker II to Fremont settlement locations, design, and rock art are logistically, thematically and uniquely related to Hopi Powamu ceremony, artifacts, and ideology, Museum of the American West/Autry Museum.

By the way, for those who haven't heard, we're having another baby. Soco power! Just in time for dissertation research. I guess we found out who's in control here. Gotta love it. We couldn't be more excited.

That sounds pretty interesting. Is it going to be on your campus? If so, and if you go, I would be interested in what she had to say.
great. normally, i would question how much more empowerment the hopi need in their quest to claim every culture from aleutia to the amazon as their own. but i'd be more than fine with some good, solid evidence for the fremont diaspora and its lost tribes.
Another kid? Congrats man! Reproductive fitness is the only currency that matters.
I guess you didn't get that vasectomy you were talking about after the last one was born after all.
We need a copy of that paper.
