The La Canoa Legacy Series features talks by Hispanic/Latino academic and community researchers with long-standing and distinguished records of research and teaching about New Mexico and the region. Like la canoa—referring in New Mexican Spanish to several utilitarian objects used to receive and transport people and resources and thus provide a service to the community—these talks are meant to serve the community by presenting new or overlooked information about our region to interested audiences. We want them to transport us to new understandings
of our region and its rich cultural and historical inheritance, and to move the conversation back and forth in rich dialogue between presenters and audience members.
The talk will be held in the History and Literary Arts Building-Library on Saturday, October 15, 2016 at 2pm.

Blumenfeld’s dancing has been called “sharp and exhilarating” (Philadelphia Inquirer), and possessing a “fierce presence (her movements seem to arise from several feet beneath the ground)…” (Thinking Dance).

Forensic psychologist Jemimah Hodge and her sheriff’s detective amor Rick Romero need to solve a murder, and that requires their ability to sort through the Hispanic, Anglo, and Pueblo eccentricities of New Mexico.

She has been honored by the National Endowment for the Arts, the New Mexico Endowment for the Humanities, and Women in the Arts.

Willie Velasquez Your Vote Is Your Voice: Film Screening & Voter Registration
2016-10-01 | NHCC-Newsletter-November-2-30
10 am (screenings at 11 am & 2 pm)
Free screenings of the documentary film Willie Velasquez Your Vote Is Your Voice and voter registration drive, presented in partnership with New Mexico PBS.

Patrons will be able to register to vote on-site.
The film will provide a better understanding of historical, political, and social issues facing Latinos, America’s largest growing minority group. The story of Willie Velasquez’s life trajectory and the people he met along the way on the American political scene is fascinating in itself. Through the lens of his journey from radical student activist to respected statesman, we can examine the history of the Latino vote, the barriers Latinos had to overcome to obtain representation, contemporary issues facing Latinos today, and the implications for the current election cycle.
