An exhibition curated by Center of Southwest Studies Fellow and FLC graduate, Malorie King (Mescalero Apache/Diné) Exhibition on view: January 30-May 16, 2025 Reception: January 30 at 4:30-6:30 PM This exhibition will be held in the lobby entryway of the CSWS building. Free Center of Southwest Studies Fellow and recent Fort Lewis College graduate, Malorie King (Mescalero Apache/Diné), has curated a selection of artwork from the Center’s Museum collections as a culmination of a year of research and inquiry into creative expression of traditional Indigenous knowledge sharing and intertribal values. "At its core, this project represents reciprocity—our shared responsibility to honor the teachings of our elders, respect all forms of life, and contribute meaningfully to our communities. Just as Indigenous knowledge is rooted in values of kinship, gratitude, and community, each of us carries a cultural lineage that can inspire and guide us. Through this exhibition, I aim to honor the communities, mentors, and traditions that have shaped me, while planting seeds for a future where Indigenous voices and knowledge systems thrive." - Malorie King, curator Center of Southwest Studies swcenter.fortlewis.edu Contact: Cristie Scott, cmscott@fortlewis.edu or Malorie King, msking@fortlewis.edu

"100 Years of Silence: The Aniknuche Incarceration" Wednesday, April 2, 2025 6:30-8pm CSWS Lyceum Free Center of Southwest Studies swcenter.fortlewis.edu Contact: Cristie Scott, cmscott@fortlewis.edu, 247-7333 The Center of Southwest Studies will host a special presentation, "100 Years of Silence: The Aniknuche Incarceration," covering the so-called “Posey War” of 1923 that impacted and displaced Ute and Paiute communities across San Juan County, Utah. Special guests, Shaun Ketchum, Jr (Paiute and Ute Mountain Ute), director of the 100 Years of Silence project and direct descendent of William Posey, along with author, and environmental and public historian, Jedidiah Rogers, PhD will explore this powerful, largely untold chapter of American history—one that forces us to rethink what we know about “the last Indian War” and the resilience of a people who refused to disappear. In this centennial year, the voices silenced for too long are finally being heard. -About the 100 Years of Silence Project- Ute Elders, storytellers, artists, and musicians weave narratives to showcase the indomitable spirit of the Ute Mountain Ute people over the last century. The “Posey War” led to the weeks-long, forcible internment of around 80 Ute women, children, and men in a barbed wire cage in the streets of Blanding; the murder of two Ute men; the loss of access to traditional Ute land in the Bears Ears area; and the coerced enrollment of Ute children in boarding schools. The 100 Years of Silence project seeks to promote healing by sharing the Ute perspective on the “Posey War” incident, and to showcase their legacy of endurance.
