Created for grades 4-12, but are all welcome. How long have humans followed trends? A lot longer than social media & apps, it would seem. Situated in the Southwest and often overlooked as far as historic cultures go, the Mogollon serves as a historical “weathervane” of sorts for what was hip hundreds of years ago. Culturally fluid and uniquely surrounded and influenced by other well-known culture centers, this region sports fascinating finds in ceramics, architecture, and agriculture, amongst other things. What can we learn from studying these Native American people? And how can we study them in a way that is responsible and respectful? Student questions guide this live event with one of the Museum’s curators of Anthropology. Join the Museum of Nature and Science Thursday, September 22, 9 a.m., 10 a.m., 11 a.m., and 1 p.m. for Scientists in Action: Mogollon Mysteries of the Archeological Southwest.
