9:00am	[9:00am-5:30pm] White House Tribal Nations Conference Description: From "Indian Country Today" 10/16/09 White House officials chose Columbus Day to announce a first-of-its-kind conference to be held with leaders from all federally recognized tribes. President Barack Obama will host a White House Tribal Nations Conference November 5 from 9 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Leaders of all 564 federally recognized tribes will be invited, an announcement said, adding that they will be given the opportunity to interact directly with the president and other top administration officials. Each federally recognized tribe can send one representative. Invitations to tribal leaders were sent via e-mail and fax from the Domestic Policy Council and the Office of Public Engagement starting Oct. 12, according to Shin Inouye, a White House spokesman. “I look forward to hearing directly from the leaders in Indian country about what my administration can do to not only meet their needs, but help improve their lives and the lives of their peoples,” Obama said. ...Obama had promised during his campaign that he would hold yearly tribal conferences. The invitations note that the historic meeting will not be held in the White House, but at the nearby Sidney R. Yates Auditorium of the Department of the Interior. In an effort to allow more tribal leaders and members to view the historic event, the Department of Interior is working with MyTribeTV, an Indian-owned business in Seattle, Washington, to provide online coverage of the conference. ...all or part of the event will be streamed at tribalsummit.mytribetv.com. [11:30am-1:00pm] Sally Mentzer's Office Hour Description: Come visit with Sally Mentzer and find out how the Undergraduate Advising and Research program can help you shape your personal adventures! [2:00pm-5:00pm] Archaeology Center Pottery Workshop Series #2 Description: Inca Pottery Replication Imperial Inca pottery was an important symbolic marker to elites and commoners across the Andes beginning in the 1400s. It was known for the standardized forms, the richness of the color palette, perfection in execution of design motifs, and thoroughness of its firing method. After the Spanish Conquest of the 1530s, production of this highly prized pottery style ceased. No one since has been able to copy the skill or technology developed by these clay experts. Join us at the Archaeology Center as we use clay imported from an Inca pottery production site of Choquepukio in Cuzco, Peru and Inca potsherds from that same site to retrace the steps of imperial artists of the ancient Andes. Using fuels that were available during the Inca period, all pots will be fired in a bonfire at the Gym dig site on Friday, Nov. 6, 10:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. (weather permitting) and removed at 5:00 p.m. (or before dark). Melissa Chatfield received her Ph.D in Anthropology from UC Santa Barbara in 2007 and is currently a Research Fellow in Ceramic Geoarchaeology at the Archaeology Center. She has conducted research on Inca pottery and other styles from the Cuzco region of Peru for the last 15 years. Her work at Stanford examines innovation in clay technology and the transmission of that knowledge in prehistoric societies. The current replication event is the second in a series of six to be hosted on campus by the Stanford President's Fund for Innovation in the Humanities and by the Archaeology Center."
