An oral history project to interview women from the New Mexico Pueblos which will produce teaching and public programming tools including an exhibition, lectures, workshops, and a documentary film.

This project offers the opportunity to collect the experiences of the new generation of women who have had advanced opportunities for education, community activism, and field advancement. Our goal is to focus on the journeys and pathways of an intergenerational group of Pueblo women who have often been the "first" in their fields or have contributed to their communities in lasting ways. Using oral history methods, the project will interview women from the nineteen New Mexico Pueblos to document the voices and agencies of these extraordinary individuals who achieve outside their traditional roles while maintaining connections to their community lives.

Abstract: This project builds upon a number of earlier efforts to chronicle the lives and stories of Native women, generally elders, and to capture important oral histories before they are lost. Our project’s goal, however, was to focus on the journeys and pathways of an intergenerational, but younger, group of contemporary Pueblo women who were often the “first” in their fields, or among the first women in their communities to cross traditional gender lines. Using oral history methods, we ultimately interviewed twenty women from the Pueblo villages of New Mexico, women who have achieved some extraordinary goals while maintaining strong connections to their communities, culture, and traditions.
