We talk with Eric Heller, professor of anthropology at the University of Southern California, Noah Pleshet, assistant professor of anthropology at the university of New Brunswick, and Ben Bellorado, assistant curator at the Arizona State Museum about their methods and the importance of involving descendant communities in the interpretation and preservation of these sacred sites.

I had Barbara Teller Ornelas on the podcast today.  I've known Barbara for a very long time. She's a Diné weaver who's won Best of Show at Indian Market in Santa Fe twice which, as far as I know, has never happened with any other weaver. Barbara is an amazing individual, an artist that is completely dedicated to her art form. She does Two Great Hills tapestry weavings, typically 80 inches and greater. Her heritage is that of Edgewater Clan and The Waters Flow Together clan.We sat down and spoke about her journey, how she learned to weave, and the things that have gone on in her life. Things like boarding school, which was really problematic for a lot of Native American people.  We also talk about COVID and how devastating it was for her family.This is a terrific podcast especially if you want to learn about one of the greatest living weavers (Seriously, she's the Michael Jordan of Navajo weaving). Barbara is amazing and I had a great time. Barbara Teller Ornelas on Episode 209 of Art Dealer Diaries Podcast.

On today's podcast Jessica interviews Dr. Edward Jolie (Oglala Lakota and Hodulgee Muscogee), the new Clara Lee Tanner Associate Curator of Ethnology at the Arizona State Museum and Associate Professor at School of Anthropology at the University of Arizona. We talk about perishable materials, such as textiles, baskets, nets, and footwear, and why they are understudied, how they offer unique insights into the past, and what they can teach us about diversity and continuity both within and across regions. Throughout the podcast we continually return to the human element of perishable artifacts and associated research, including the movement to tribally driven archaeology.

I had Museum Director James Burns on today. James is an interesting guy because he's done so many things. He is a curator, a director, an individual who has always loved history and art. It's a fun ride because we get to see what it takes to get in that world, to be in the world of being an executive director for a museum.You can tell from his story that it's not easy. He's gone through many different ideations and iterations of who he is and what he is to finally get to the pinnacle of his career. It's a wonderful thing to do, to be able to actually find your way in life, to do what you want to do. He's going to be the new director of Western Spirit: Scottsdale's Museum of the West, taking over for Mike Fox on October 16th. It's a big job. There's a lot to do and there are a lot of moving parts.  We got to talk quite a bit about his new position as well as the opening that they'll be having on October 16th.I've known James for 20 years, as he pointed out during the interview, and have followed his career closely. As a fan of what he's done for the museums that have had the privilege of having him on staff, I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, he is going to do great things for Scottsdales' premier art museum.

I had Davison Koenig on the podcast today who is the Director/Curator of the Couse-Sharp Historical Museum in Taos, New Mexico. This Northern New Mexico museum is a wonderful experience as I've been there a couple of different times. I've visited the Couse residency before it was ever a museum and was amazing then and now it is spectacular. It was fun to hear the story of how someone falls into a position like Davison's as a director of such a unique museum. The path, in this case, begins with Davison working in a bronze foundry and leads to a side-job cutting trees where he meets his wife Susan Folwell who happens to be one of the premier Santa Clara potters of today. Towards the end of the podcast, Davison takes us on a guided tour through the museum and gives us some very enlightening bits of information regarding the great painter E.I. Couse, J. H. Sharp, and their family. This is a fun and interesting interview and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
