Join us for this workshop led by Mary Weahkee, Assistant Archaeologist at the New Mexico Office of Archaeological Studies. Ms. Weahkee, a member of both Santa Clara Pueblo and the Comanche Nation, is recognized for her research and practice of ancient technologies. She will demonstrate the making of yucca cordage and how it was used to create other useful items such as sandals and textiles. While she demonstrates, Ms. Weahkee will discuss her work, share her knowledge, and answer questions.
