Tappan, Carson & the Weaponization of Slavery against the Navajo Nation

Join us on August 18 for a lecture and book signing with author Matt Fitzsimons. The book recounts the remarkable journey of Herrero Delgadito, often credited as the first Navajo silversmith, and principal headmen during the first 20 years of U.S. colonization. Delgadito was a primary target of Lt. Col. Kit Carson’s scorched-earth campaign of 1863-64, and went on to sign the Treaty of 1868 with Lt. Col. Samuel Tappan. We’ll explore how the war against the Navajo Nation divided these two famous commanders of Fort Garland, and tested America’s commitment to the abolition of slavery.

Garden Dialogues 2022

Register now https://www.tclf.org/garden-dialogues-2022-aspen-co to explore the 73-acre Charlie Mountain Ranch that has been revived by Design Workshop as a diverse and ecologically-rich landscape. Resting in the shadow of adjacent peaks, Charlie Mountain Ranch is located at the end of a wide, glacially-carved valley in western Colorado. Since its settlement in the late 1800s, the property has long been valued for its fertile soils, rolling terrain, and access to the valley’s arterial creek. In collaboration with architect Pearson Design Group, Design Workshop rejuvenated the ranch as a family compound. Because the scenic, cultural, and ecological values of the ranch are integral to the rural nature of the surrounding community, designers sought to ensure that the proposed design responded to regional development patterns, wildlife habitat, wildfire prevention, creek and water conservation, and responsible land management and stewardship.
