"We Still Live Here" tells the story of cultural revival by the Wampanoag Indians of Southeastern Massachusetts.

Spurred on by their intrepid linguist Jessie Little Doe Baird, they are now saying loud and clear, and in their Native tongue, "As Nutayunean--We Still Live Here."

Our February 15th planning meeting is being rescheduled! In place of that Wednesday lunch meeting, we will have a smaller meeting on February 8th, this week! Snacks and beverages will be provided. Please plan on giving us a quick update on what your committees are doing. (Especially from those committees that we haven't received updates from yet!)
Also, I will be staying after the meeting to make some time lines with a list of things to get done. They will be on big flip chart paper and will be hung up in the center between now and Powwow. Please stay behind and help me make these. Once they're all done, everyone will know what needs to be done, regardless of your involvement, so if you have a little extra time between classes, you can help us cross things off the lists!
Note: Facilities! We have some decent weather as of late, I'd like to know that all of our canopies have been tested, cleaned and labeled so they're ready to go! Anyone that's interested can help you with that!
I'll see you all Wednesday and be ready for a fast and efficient meeting!

Are you a human being?
Because if you are, that is cool; me too. But actually: want to take a break from studying for your midterms? Have a writer's block and need some inspiration? Well, come to the BOOTH MEETING today from 3-4pm and have ALL of your WILDEST dreams come true (yep!)!! We have a lot to get done for today so that we can start doing the fun stuff early next week...which will be SELECTING THE VENDORS FOR POWWOW!! So exciting! Right?? Right!
Come on over to the NACC (we'll either be in the Student Org room or in the lounge or in the library or in another room or just anywhere in the NACC how about. Not in the hallway. Nor in the bathrooms. Or the kitchen. Maybe if we're hungry). ALSO, if you don't feel like you're on the booth committee, or you somehow feel like you aren't wanted at the booth meeting, then THAT IS FALSE!! COME JOIN US!! There's no like, "booth initiation" that we have or anything. We like everyone and want everyone to come :-)
Even if you can only come for 10 or 15 minutes, it would still be a super big help. Many hands make light work!! And I will also love you forever.
There will also be sustenance. But I won't tell you what it is. No, not because I haven't gotten it yet, jeez. But because it is shrouded in mystery and it's intriguing and you are curious and it makes you REALLY WANT TO COME!!! So we'll see you tomorrow, right? RIGHT.
PS-The sustenance will probably be cookies. This will enable me to be lazy and uncreative and reuse the flyer that I've already made. #weekfive

Description:
The photograph of the raising of the American flag on Mt. Suribachi, Iwo Jima, in the final months of World War II is arguably the most famous photo ever made. It is the most published of photos and it is an enduring icon of the American experience. The picture has inspired four motion pictures, numerous books and articles, the monument at Arlington National Cemetery, and more. Made by San Francisco photographer Joe Rosenthal of the Associated Press, the picture is that rare image that directly changed the way Americans thought and acted. It inspired the Seventh (and final) War Bond drive of World War II. The picture, however, was controversial and has remained so over the decades, victim of misunderstandings and the target of those who would diminish its impact. Join Hal Buell, veteran Associated Press photo editor and author, as he discusses the story of the photograph and traces the lifelong journey of Rosenthal and his remarkable picture, its trials and its tribulations. In this presentation of more than 100 photographs and video clips Buell tells the full, true story of the photo, the battle of Iwo Jima, the photo’s impact on World War II, and the photo’s life as a lasting, patriotic symbol.
HAL BUELL
Photo Editor
Hal Buell has worked on assignment in more than thirty-five countries, and headed the Associated Press Photo Service for twenty-five years, supervising an international staff of 300 photographers. His career in news photography spanned the days of flash bulbs to the use of digital cameras, and many of the pictures of the last half of the 20th century crossed his desk. Buell is the author of more than a dozen books on news photography, including Moments: The Pulitzer Prize Winning Photographs; The Kennedy Brothers; and Uncommon Valor, Common Virtue, the story of the Iwo Jima flag raising.

New Perspectives on the Indigenous Cultures of the Americas
Memory in Fragments: The Lives of Ancient Maya Sculptures
MEGAN E. O'NEIL
February 14, 2012
5:30 PM
Cummings Art Building, AR2
Free and open to the public | http://art.stanford.edu
How does the act of fragmentation change a thing? What meaning can be found in fragments? What memories or stories do they evoke? Focusing on Classic period Maya monumental stone sculptures, this paper explores how sculptural fragments and broken edges may hold or stimulate memory—both in the ancient past and today. Megan E. O'Neil examines how fragments and broken edges, when indices of people’s interactions with monuments, make those interactions visible or otherwise materially manifest. She considers how material indices of use may have been meaningful in the ancient past, and she studies the various ways ancient Maya people treated these fragments, whether burying, displaying, recarving, or trashing them. She also explores if and how we may discern meaning from these fragments today and briefly address how different groups of people use fragments in varying reconstructions of the ancient Maya past in the context of present identities.
Megan E. O’Neil’s primary research is in ancient Maya art history and archaeology, but her research and teaching have also addressed other Mesoamerican and Andean cultures, in addition to Latin American art up to the twentieth century. She received her B.A. in Archaeological Studies from Yale College, her M.A. in Art History from the University of Texas at Austin, and her Ph.D. in History of Art from Yale. This spring, the University of Oklahoma Press will publish her book, Engaging Ancient Maya Sculpture at Piedras Negras, Guatemala. Megan E. O’Neil is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Art and Art History at The College of William and Mary.

Memory and Markets: Pueblo Painting in the Early 20th Century
In the early 20th century, a new movement of Native American painting emerged in the Pueblo communities of the Southwestern United States. Encouraged by local anthropologists and teachers to record past and current scenes of their daily life on paper, the artists found inspiration in the centuries-old tradition of Pueblo painting found in pottery, murals, and archaeological remains. The earliest Pueblo artists were self-taught and struggled for recognition from the local and national art market. In the 1930s, the formation of the Studio at the Santa Fe Indian School formalized the training of generations of Native painters. The resulting works were dynamic, colorful, and decidedly modern.

I wanted to send you some information on the exhibition we have planned for Gibbons in the Spring (end of February to end of May). It will be called "Memory and Markets: Pueblo Painting in the early 20th Century" and will highlight works in our collection by Tonita Pena, Awa Tsireh and others, as well as some works borrowed from the California Academy of Sciences (Pablita Velarde, Allan Houser). I've attached a small blurb about the show as well as the preliminary checklist of the Cantor objects.
We are certainly open to student involvement if you have any interested students in your midst. We would also be interested in sponsoring or co-sponsoring an event, such as perhaps an artist workshop that would be geared mainly toward students. The show will be up during the Pow Wow (assuming it's at the same time in early May next year).
