This month we look back and look ahead at Western Native American art and the artists who represent and share their culture and heritage. On Page 3 we present a historical review of the Santa Fe Studio Art School, founded by art educator Dorothy Dunn, where many important Native American artists first learned a style of watercolor painting that later helped to bring them prominence in the non-native world of the 1930s and beyond. We also look at the history and life of Pablita Velarde, one of those famous artists, who hailed from Santa Clara Pueblo, and whose legacy has lived on for generations, in our “Tales of the Trails” (Page 11). We also showcase a number of Native American art venues (on Page 10), culminating in the Santa Fe Indian Market, now in its 95th year, as the ultimate celebration of the very best in Native American art and culture this August 20th and 21st on the Plaza in Santa Fe.

COMMUNITY NEWS, VIEWS, AND MORE A look back at the Dorothy Dunn School of Native American Art by Marc-Paul LaRouche
Santa Fe Indian Market 2016 In a recent visit to Durango, Colorado we wandered into an antique store on Main Street. The store is one of many that features consigned works from different vendors, each of whose eclectic collections can reach the far ends of Western art and memorabilia. Early into our exploration I noticed a small stack of “Arizona Highways” magazines. The top magazine caught my eye immediately. The price was very reasonable and I asked a store clerk to set it aside for me. It was actually the only thing we bought in that store – prices were a bit high and the place was intolerably hot. The treasure that I took away, for a dollar or two, brought me back to an inspiring exhibit that we had visited many years before at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture in Santa Fe, which featured the artwork produced at the Santa Fe Studio Art School at the Santa Fe Indian School. Their first teacher was Dorothy Dunn, a non-native who had taught at the San Juan Boarding School at Shiprock, New Mexico and later studied art at the School of Art Institute in Chicago, Illinois. Some of the most famous Western Native American artists were students at that school, which opened in September of 1932. The list of students includes Allan Haozous Houser, Ben Quintana, Harrison Begay (see our cover art), Joe Hilario Herrera, Andrew Tsihnahjinnie, Pablita Velarde (see our story in ”Tales of the Trails” on page 11), Gerald Nailor, Jose Ray Toledo, Quincy Tahoma, Lewis Numkena, Jr., Shije Herrera, Eva Mirabel, Pop Chalee, Oscar Howe, Geronima Cruz Montoya and Narcisco Abeyta. While she has been criticized by many native artists for teaching her single style of painting, known as “flat-style painting”, many of Dorothy Dunn’s students went on to bigger and better fame and success as the unique style and vision of western Native American art became a mainstay in the fabric of American art and culture.
Some time shortly after 1950, students Harrison Begay, Gerald Nailor and Allan Houser, three of the most prominent student artists of the Dorothy Dunn school, started their own art publication business, known as Tewa Enterprises. The artwoork on the cover of this issue of The Corridor is a reprint of a silk-screen reproduction of a piece of art produced by Harrison Begay, one of the founders of Tewa Enterprises, entitled “Navajo Feather Dancer”. This print, a part of a private collection, is representative of the quality and style of work that was taught and executed by the students of the Dorothy Dunn school of art during the early days of the Santa Fe Studio Art School at the Santa Fe Indian School. Today the intrepid art enthusiast can easily view and purchase examples of this art from Than Povi Gallery, a true treasure-trove of Native American art located on the San Ildefonso Pueblo (on the way to Bandelier National Monument and Los Alamos, New Mexico). Than Povi is an exclusive dealer in art work produced by Gerald Nailor and his son, Gerald Nailor, Jr., whose works depict ancient and modern images that are true to the Native American culture. (505) 455-9988
We would like to invite all of our readers to make the trip to Santa Fe on one or both of the days of the Santa Fe Indian Market, August 20 and 21, 2016, to participate in this celebration of Native American art and culture and to embrace the history that makes this event so special for the native peoples of New Mexico and the Southwest.
Interestingly, the story in “Arizona Highways”, which was published in the February, 1950 edition of this famous western American publication (at the cost of 35 cents), there is no direct mention of Ms. Dunn or her contribution to the founding and early days of the school. The story was written by Clara Lee Tanner, who was a celebrated archeologist from the University of Arizona. Her take on the story of “Contemporary Indian Arts” (the title of her feature in the 1950 “Arizona Highways”) paints a much broader picture of the evolution of modern western Native American art. One aspect noted in this article chronicles Native American artists from as far back as the late 1800s using watercolors to depict scenes that were important to them. By the 1930s, educators like Dorothy Dunn were bringing sophisticated methodologies of portraying their traditional ideals, utilizing modern watercolor techniques, with a hope that the young students in her school would be able to have success in the then-contemporary non-native world. The work of these students and their eventual success speaks loudly that the motive was certainly in place, as it laid the groundwork for much future success for so many of these Native American artists. This year, the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts (SWAIA) will present the 95th annual Santa Fe Indian Market on August 20 and 21, 2016 (See page 10 of this issue for a complete detail of upcoming Native American artist events, including the Santa Fe Indian Market). Every year since its inception, the Santa Fe Indian Market has championed the best work of contemporary Native American artists. This market is a centerpiece and focal point for the very best Native American art, available for review and to be purchased, in a juried event in which $90,000.00 will be awarded this year as prizes to Native American artists for exhibiting their very best art. Buyers from around the world flock to Santa Fe during this event to partake of the history, legacy and beauty of the best of the best of Native American art and culture.
ABOUT OUR COVER This issue celebrates the 95th anniversary of the Santa Fe Indian Market, to be held on August 20 and 21, 2016 on and around the plaza in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Our story this month focuses on a brief interlude in the history of Native American Art that made significant changes to the lives and fortunes of a number of Native American artists, beginning in the 1930’s, at the Santa Fe Studio Art School at the Santa Fe Indian School. www.thecorridornm.com The Corridor - August 2016 3

Notes from a Summer Garden
E c o- F r ie n d ly C le a n ing R e c ipe s
To get a home that is truly clean, rather than covered in toxic chemicals, try making your own non-toxic cleaners at home. It’s easy! Basic ingredients found in your kitchen can be used to make non-toxic cleaners for your different cleaning needs. Five basic ingredients serve as the building blocks for many safe home cleaning needs: Baking Soda - Cleans and deodorizes. Softens water to increase sudsing and cleaning power of soap. Good scouring powder. Borax - Cleans and deodorizes. Excellent disinfectant. Softens water. Available in laundry section of grocery store. Soap - Biodegrades safely and completely and is non-toxic. Available in grocery stores and health food stores. Sold as liquid, flakes, powder or in bars. Bars can be grated to dissolve more easily in hot water. Insist on soap without synthetic scents, colors or other additives. Washing Soda - Cuts grease and removes stains. Disinfects. Softens water. Available in laundry section of grocery store or in pure form from chemical supply houses as “sodium carbonate.” White Vinegar or Lemon Juice - Cuts grease and freshens.

Household Cleaner Mix together: 1 tsp. liquid soap (castile, peppermint) 1 tsp. borax Squeeze of lemon 1 qt. warm water OR ¼ c. baking soda ½ c. borax ½ c. vinegar 1 gal. water For surfaces that need scouring, try moist salt or baking soda and a green scouring pad.
Window Cleaner Mix together: 2 tsp. vinegar 1 qt. warm water OR 2 tbsp. borax 3 c. water Disinfectant Mix together: ¼ c. borax ½ gal. hot water
Oven Cleaner Mix together: ¼ c. baking soda 2 tbsp. salt Hot water, as needed to make a paste. Let paste sit for 5 minutes. Caution: Keep off wires/heating elements. OR 2 tbsp. liquid soap (castile, peppermint) 2 tsp. borax 1 qt. warm water Spray on oven and wait 20 minutes, then clean. For tough stains, scrub with very fine steel wool and baking soda.
In addition to the bunny, cabbage loopers also made their appearance - at first there were just a few holes and I should have started applying Bt (Bacillus Thuringiensis) right away - but things got a bit ahead and then I ran out and had trouble finding more powder to replace the stash I had last purchased several years ago.
Photo: Millie McFarland This has been a challenging growing season for us. In addition to the heat, blazing sun, and strong winds, we have had more than our normal share of critters. Early this spring I had to gently remove a litter of baby bunnies from last year’s carrot bed. It was a shock to find them there as the garden fence had previously done a decent job of eliminating rabbit incursions. But this was a clear sign that the fence was not doing its job---or that a super race of bunnies had developed who could leap four-foot fences. In any case, I managed to gently remove said bunnies to a nearby Juniper where they could be shaded and a bit protected. And I did witness their mom finding them and hanging nearby. But I did not expect one to hang around into the growing season! For several weeks I encountered a tiny bunny up in the garden early in the morning when I checked on the beds. It would freak out and run around trying to find a way out and eventually squeeze its small body through the fence openings. Coincidentally with its visits, cabbage leaves had pieces missing. And we concluded that the bun-bun was enjoying the fruits of our labors before we had a chance to. So, I temporarily covered the beds with row cover.
Bacillus Thuringiensis is a naturally occurring microbe that “freezes” the digestive systems of certain larvae, in particular cabbageworm and the dreaded Tomato Hornworm. It can also kill the bagworm that infects the Aspen trees. It is non-toxic to people and other, beneficial insects. There are a variety of strains of this bacillus that target different insects. One strain kills mosquito larvae and another, potato worms. Bt is an important tool in an organic gardener’s toolkit. On the positive side, I am growing Anasazi bush beans, with the hope of drying and shelling these tasty beans. They are speckled brown and white, cook quickly and have a luscious, fullbodied flavor. We have been buying them from one of the local growers at the Saturday Farmers’ Market in Santa Fe. But I checked around and found seeds at the Plants of the Southwest. I will let you know how this experiment goes. One last share: we recently discovered one of our usually thriving Austrian Pines looking more dead than alive. Upon inspection, I discovered a stringy, white egg case with one larva inside. I did some research and decided that spraying a light horticultural oil would be the best approach to smothering the insects. Keep your fingers crossed.
I have not seen the kit recently, but there has been something chewing on the lower leaves of the cucumber plants, inhibiting growth a bit. So it could still be around.

Founded in 1937, The Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian is New Mexico’s oldest non-profit, independent museum. The Wheelwright offers unique exhibitions of contemporary and historic Native American art. We’re famous for our focus on little-known genres and for solo shows by living Native American artists. We originate every exhibition, bringing you new research, fresh perspectives, and rich, lively visual expression. In June 2015, the Wheelwright Museum opened the Jim and Lauris Phillips Center for the Study of Southwestern Jewelry, devoted permanently to the past, present, and future of Native American jewelry and related traditions. Our museum shop, the Case Trading Post, is one of Santa Fe’s oldest continuously operating galleries of Native American art, featuring the best in contemporary craft and fine arts by more than 200 Native American artists, as well as a great selection of vintage and antique jewelry, ceramics, and textiles.
Next Free Admission is August 7th then during Indian Market Thursday August 18th (hours extended 10am to 6pm) and Friday August 19th (hours extended 8:30am to 5pm) From August 17-19, the Case Trading Post, our museum shop, is proud to present Old Friends, New Faces, an annual multi-day event showcasing work by exceptional Native American artists. Come support Indigenous art! Artist Demonstrations -Join us for artist demonstrations on the museum patio from 9 a.m. until 12 noon. Come meet and greet the artists and learn more about their creative processes!
Founded in 1922, this year celebrates Santa Fe Indian Market’s 95th year as the world’s largest and most prestigious Indian art market. Santa Fe Indian Market, and what has become known as Indian Market week, is one of New Mexico’s largest cultural attractions— drawing over 120,000 visitors to Santa Fe, New Mexico during the third week and weekend of August.
As the world’s largest juried Native art show, Santa Fe Indian Market awards a total of $90,000.00 annually in prize money to artists, artist fellowships, and youth and professional mentoring workshops. Additionally, Santa Fe Indian Market is a vehicle for personal and cultural sustainability, affording Native artists the opportunity to present their work to the world and to build lasting relationships with fellow artists, collectors, and enthusiasts. “Santa Fe Indian Market is all about creating a platform and exposure for Native artists,” said Dallin Maybee, SWAIA chief operating officer. “Our art forms are intrinsically tied to our cultural identity and we are fortunate to be working with and supporting so many
talented artists, it’s truly a dream.”
The Southwestern Association for Indian Arts (SWAIA), the 501(c) 3 non-profit organization that produces Santa Fe Indian Market, has drafted and maintains standards of authenticity to ensure that the artworks sold at Indian Market are original and of the highest quality. Throughout the year, SWAIA produces cultural and educational programs that support, promote and honor Native art. Over Santa Fe Indian Market’s—almost— 100-year history, both Indian Market and SWAIA continue to evolve to include previously excluded artistic forms and to reflect the cultural evolution of Native art and artists. Indian Market Edge (IM: Edge), Santa Fe Indian Market’s contemporary art show, held concurrently during Indian Market, is one example. The Haute Couture Fashion Show and performances by relevant young bands, like A Tribe Called Red engage a younger generation of artists and maintain the market’s relevancy. Santa Fe Indian Market artists represent more than 200 tribes from across the United States and Canada. Artists retain 100% of the proceeds of the sales of their artwork— many participants claim to make 1/3 to ½ of their yearly income at Indian Market. Santa Fe Indian Market is a cultural and artistic treasure. The concept, design and presentation of Santa Fe Indian Market have influenced all other Native art markets in the United States.

Pablita Velarde
by Matthew Martinez San Juan Pueblo
http://newmexicohistory.org/ people/pablita-velarde
For centuries, the art of painting and drawing has always been a fundamental practice of indigenous peoples across the Americas. Evidence of recording through drawing can be seen in the petroglyphs found throughout the Southwest, which date back thousands of years. Art, drawing, dance, and song were, and continue to be venues for recording history and cultural practice. Today, American Indian art is widely acclaimed for its beauty and distinctiveness and Pablita Velarde’s paintings represent the strength of Pueblo cultural identity. Her work is strikingly unique and can be found in museums, libraries, galleries and private collections around the world. Velarde was born in 1917 at Santa Clara Pueblo. Her Tewa name is Tsa Tsan (Golden Dawn). As a young girl Velarde and her sisters were sent to St. Catherine’s school in Santa Fe. This was common among many Pueblo families who went through difficult times. Later, as a young woman, Velarde attended the Santa Fe Indian School in 1932.
Pablita Velarde “The Turtle Dance” 1953
for a WPA project, 1939-1946. At times in her life Velarde worked a variety of jobs including nanny and switchboard operator. She married Herbert Hardin in 1941 and shortly after, Hardin was drafted to fight in World War II. Velarde was determined to be self-sufficient and continued to paint and draw. She would put her pictures up at the portal at the Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe where her artwork sold for only a few dollars. Today, her paintings sell for thousands of dollars all over the world. In her later life, Pablita Velarde painted a mural at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico that included a self portrait, breaking a long standing rule held by Pueblo painters.
During this time, Velarde encountered Dorothy Dunn who came from Chicago to teach art at the Santa Fe Indian School. Dunn had a profound influence on the development of American Indian artists. She encouraged students to draw images from their tribal communities. Dunn taught Velarde how to grind rocks and clay for earth colors in her paintings. This technique helped Velarde find recognition in the art world. Velarde’s early work centered on village life and the women of Santa Clara.
Pablita Velarde is also known for her publication, Old Father Storyteller. The stories came from her grandfather and great-grandfather. Velarde illustrated the stories with natural earth tone paintings. The stories reflect aspects of the Tewa worldview. The stories and paintings all include imagery of land, animals, and people. Velarde grew up at a time when storytelling was very much part of the socialization of Pueblo children. She wanted these histories to be passed on by adding a visual element to the storytelling. As a result of writing these stories, the tribal elders began to punish and chastise Velarde. Many Pueblo people believed these stories were not supposed to be written down. Velarde felt compelled to write these stories for her own children as well as to share with the public something about Santa Clara culture.
When she was in her 20s Velarde was commissioned to paint 84 images of Pueblo life at Bandelier National Monument
Now in her late 80s (2005), Velarde still continues to paint images of life at Santa Clara Pueblo. She has lived an uncon-

ventional and rewarding life and has received over 50 awards for her work including an honorary doctorate from the University of New Mexico, the Award of Excellence from the Louvre in Paris, and the Lifetime Achievement Award as a Living Treasure from the governor of New Mexico. Pablita Velarde states the following as she reflects upon her life: “My time is coming to go live with the cloud people, when my body will be put in the graveyard at Santa Clara. I hope that my art has made a difference. I hope it will help people remember the traditions and ceremonies of the Santa Clara Pueblo. I hope the stories I have written and the pictures I have painted will teach children and adults everywhere that the Santa Clara are a truly remarkable Indian people.” Sources Used: Ruch, “Marcella J.

On a train ride down from Santa Fe, I came across a fellow who was trying to get in touch with senator Tom Udall in order to extend the Rail Runner to Las Cruces (it was originally planned to go from there to Cheyenne, WY).
Human sized Vacuum Tubes
He was intrigued by my vague explanation of the Hyperloop One, which is yet another of one of Elon Musks’ endeavours that make us question if this is real life or a Marvel comic.
Excerpts from Elon Musk’s post about Hyperloop Find out more at www.spacex.com/hyperloopalpha “When the California ‘high speed’ rail was approved, I was quite disappointed, as I know many others were too. How could it be that the home of Silicon Valley and JPL – doing incredible things
One thing he asked that I wasn’t able to tell him at the time was how fast it was going to be (which turns out to be quite fast ideally supersonic speeds of over 700 MPH), so I figured it’d be a good idea to share some words from the creators of one of the fastest, most efficient and most cost-effective modes of travel for the future (the first of which is being built today from LA to San Francisco).

Concept drawing of Hyperloop vehicle
What is Hyperloop? (from Hyperloop One website http://bit.ly/hloopcorr)
“Hyperloop is a new way to move people or things anywhere in the world quickly, safely, efficiently, on-demand and with minimal impact to the environment. The system uses electric propulsion to accelerate a passenger or cargo vehicle through a tube in a low pressure
environment.
The
autonomous vehicle levitates slightly above the track and glides
at
faster-than-airline
speeds over long distances.
“If we are to make a massive investment in a new transportation system, then the return should by rights be equally massive. Compared to the alternatives, it should ideally be: Safer Faster Lower cost More convenient Immune to weather Sustainably self-powering Resistant to Earthquakes Not disruptive to those along the route
We eliminate direct emissions, noise, delay, weather concerns
“The Hyperloop (or something similar) is, in my opinion, the right solution for the specific case of high traffic city pairs that are less than about 1500 km or 900 miles apart. Around that inflection point, I suspect that supersonic air travel ends up being faster and cheaper. With a high enough altitude and the right geometry, the sonic boom noise on the ground would be no louder than current airliners, so that isn’t a showstopper. Also, a quiet supersonic plane immediately solves every long distance city pair without the need for a vast new worldwide infrastructure.”

Back to School Tax Free Holiday Coming soon to a retail store near you is the annual New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax Holiday. This year it’s August 5-7, and if you have school-age children, it’s nothing short of a bonanza. For that weekend the state suspends collection of gross receipts tax on sales of qualifying items so you can buy the items tax free. Because many merchants also absorb the tax on a number of non-qualify-
ing items, you are the beneficiary all around. The tax holiday begins at 12:01 a.m. on August 5, 2016 and concludes on August 7, 2016 at midnight. During that time the law provides a deduction from gross receipts for retail sales of qualifying tangible personal property; in effect allowing the retailer to sell the items “tax free.”
Santa Fe Bandstand is an annual summer-long music festival on the Plaza in downtown Santa Fe. The 2016 season begins on July 5th and runs through August 26. Free live music on the Santa Fe Plaza (unless otherwise noted). From 6pm to 9pm. Santa Fe Plaza Bandstand, 63 Lincoln Ave, Santa Fe. Plaza Café Southside, 3466 Zafarano Dr, Santa Fe.

I am glad I gave the bar at Rio Chama another try as it proved to be a relaxing space after a long days work. I have heard that the bar is most entertaining when the Legislature is in session but I was hoping to rub elbows with some of Santa Fe’s movers and shakers and have a chat over a drink or two. The Happy Hour Margarita and conversation with my dining companion were enough to please my palate. I opted for the homemade falafel sandwich and sweet potato fries because, you know, brightly colored veggies are healthy. My dinner mate started with a wedge salad, always a favorite, and was kind enough to slice off a portion to me which he dubbed a “wedgie”. It was simply the most enjoyable I’ve had! Topped with tangy blue cheese, olives and cucumbers, the lettuce
was crunchy and fresh and a perfect addition to the Mushroom Mole Enchilada side my friend enjoyed. At $7, this Gourmet Side
and the Wedge was plenty of food for my friend and inspired me to make a dinner of Rio Chama’s side options the next time I stop in. Located at 414 Old Santa Fe Trail with plenty of free parking in the back, Rio Chama bar is a great option after work or on the weekend before shopping on The Plaza. Call (505) 955-0765 for restaurant reservations or large groups.
