The Crow Canyon Archaeological Center in Cortez has been awarded a $196,058 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to conduct a three-week teacher institute this summer titled "From Mesa Verde to Santa Fe: Pueblo Identity in the Southwest."
The institute will run from June 28 to July 18. The faculty includes educators, archaeologists and scholars. Based at Crow Canyon, it will feature two field trips to ancient and contemporary Pueblo villages.
