The exhibition "Restorying Our HeartPlaces: Contemporary Pueblo Architecture," offers an associated speaker series sponsored by the New Mexico Humanities Council. "Meet the Architects & Designers: Pueblo Architecture Today" will feature a 1.5 hour program with two panelists followed by a thirty-minute Q&A discussion moderated by the exhibition curators, Dr. Ted Jojola (Isleta Pueblo) and Dr. Lynn Paxson. This panel talk features Garron Yepa (Diné/Jemez Pueblo) and Miriam Diddy (Diné/Hopi) as panelists. They will be discussing and presenting various work including housing and historic preservation projects, as well as discussing governmental policies that have significantly impacted the inclusion of Indigenous peoples’ understanding of what is historic. Diddy will also demonstrate an app she developed that makes it easy for community members to evaluate and collect information on existing tribal buildings by documenting their quality and potential upgrade needs.

Included with museum admission rate; free for members, children under 5 and Pueblo members; $1 fellow Native Americans
