LOS ALAMOS HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWS

Join the Los Alamos Historical Society online at 7 p.m. on April 13 for a lecture by Dr. Joseph Aguilar on San Ildefonso Pueblo Homelands: A Tewa History of Los Alamos and the Pajarito Plateau. 

Historical Society lectures are free, but registration is required to provide you with the Zoom link. To register, visit www.losalamoshistory.org/lecture and follow the links to our EventBrite page.

Dr. Aguilar will discuss the multi-layered history of his pueblo’s ancestral homelands, which include a majority of the Pajarito Plateau, from the perspectives of his experience as a trained archaeologist and his upbringing as a member of San Ildefonso Pueblo. He is an enrolled member of San Ildefonso Pueblo, New Mexico, and currently serves as the pueblo’s Deputy Tribal Historic Preservation Officer. He received his Ph.D. from the Department of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania where his research focused on the archaeology of the Pueblo Revolt.

The Los Alamos Historical Society lecture series is made possible by the generous sponsorship of Enterprise Bank & Trust, Member FDIC; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the New Mexico Humanities Council; and Robin and Richard McLean.

The Los Alamos Historical Society preserves, promotes, and communicates the remarkable history and inspiring stories of Los Alamos and its people for our community, for the global audience, and for future generations.
