Friends of History Wednesday Lecture Series

Please join Jon Ghahate, KaWaika/A:Shiwi, Laguna/Zuni Pueblos, for an on-line talk as part of our Friends of History monthly lecture series.

Drawing on historical, cultural, and archaeological evidence surrounding US Southwest ancestral sites, this presentation offers an analysis of the Ancestral Puebloan and Native American presence in the West, especially in the Four Corners region.  Emphasis is placed on reassessing former historical negative stereotypes of past and present Puebloan communities, highlighting the diversity, sophistication, and complexity of these peoples as exhibited through their culture, language and philosophy.

Jon Ghahate is of the Pueblos of Laguna and Zuni, of the Turkey and Badger Clans. He is a Pueblo Cultural Educator and Chaco Canyon National Historical Park Tour Guide.  Jon speaks frequently on Southwestern Indigenous Civilizations, the history of New Mexico’s Pueblo cultures, and New Mexico history as it applies to the Indigenous civilizations in the state.
