Anasazi Heritage Center reopens
The Anasazi Heritage Center, which recently reopened after an ongoing roof-repair project forced it to close in mid-June, is announcing special events for late July and August.
Archaeologist Donna Glowacki will discuss her views on ancestral Puebloan politics and society during the mass exodus from the Four Corners area in the late 1200s at 2 p.m. July 30 at the center.
Hopi kachina carver Wallace Hyeoma will discuss his spiritual tradition from 7 to 9 p.m. Aug. 5. Navajo weaver Roy Kady will discuss his art and cultural background as he demonstrates his talents from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 6.
An exhibition of Navajo weavings from Teec Nos Pos, Ariz., called “Trees on a Circle” will be on display as soon as conditions permit, through Sept. 10.
For updated information on this exhibit and other activities, call the center at 970-882-5600 or go to www.co.blm.gov/ahc.
The center is 3 miles west of Dolores on Colorado 184.
