DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE
AIR EDUCATION AND TRAINING COMMAND

3 November 1995

Dear Potential Workshop Participant

Luke Air Force Base (AFB), Marine Corps Air Station, Yuma (MCAS Yuma), the
Bureau of Land
Management (BLM), and the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge, as
managers and stewards
of the 2.7 million acre Barry M. Goldwater military training range, have
entered into partnership
with Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, the Arizona State Historic
Preservation Office, and
the Arizona Land Management Office in order to host a workshop dealing with
the cultural
heritage of southwestern Arizona, an area known historically as the western
Papagueria. This
event, entitled the Western Papagueria Cultural Resources Workshop, will be
held at the BLM
National Training facility in Phoenix, located near the Metrocenter Mall, on
Thursday and Friday,
March 28-29, 1996. The workshop is being held in conjunction with the
annual A.rizona
Archaeology Awareness Month. We solicit your interest and participation.

This workshop is designed to achieve five interrelated goals:
(1) To allow cultural resource specialists who have worked in and around the
Western
Papagueria to formally summarize and comment on their data and findings.
(2) To foster dialogue and a close working relationship among Native
American groups, federal
and state agencies, and academic institutions, in terms of the full range of
cultural resource
issues.
(3) To foster innovative and cost-effective means to inventory and evaluate
cultural resources,
best meeting the needs of Native American groups, federal and state
agencies, and academic
institutions.
(4) To develop a partnered plan to assist in the effective long-term
management of cultural
resources on the Barry M. Goldwater Range and elsewhere in the Western
Papagueria.
(5) To infonn the public about the nature and significance of cultural
resources in the Western
Papagueria and how these resources are being managed, protected, and
preserved.

The partners in this cultural resource workshop take very seriously our
responsibility as stewards
of the cultural resources in southwestern Arizona. We view this workshop as
an opportunity to
share, to listen and to learn. We also view this workshop as a great
opportunity to give something
back to both the general public and the Native American community, the
groups who are, after all,
what cultural resources and cultural resource management are all about.

We have enclosed a map of the Papagueria, a tentative agenda, and two
questionnaires. One
questionnaire is designed to help us with aspects of the workshop planning
process, while the
other solicits comments that you may have regarding cultural resource
management issues. We
have included an addressed, stamped envelope for your use in returning the
questionnaires.

The workshop consists of topical sessions in which knowledgeable speakers,
panelists, and
discussants will make formal presentations on topics relating to cultural
resources in the Western
Papagueria. However, the workshop format allows for informal questions and
comments from
the audience itself, especially during panel discussions. Session topics
include the following:

Paleoenvirorunent: Reconstruction of past environments and the investigation
of how
envirom-nental change and culture change may be related.

Defining- Prehistoric Populations: Prehistoric settlement patterns and
material culture to
study the nature and ethnicity of prehistoric and early historic
populations.

Production and Exchanize: Prehistoric and early historic procurement,
production, and
exchange of commodities such as salt, obsidian, marine shell, and ceramics.

Traditional Native American LifewUs: Aspects of historic traditional Native
American lifeways as
may relate to topics such as cosmology, religion, linguistics, geography,
and residence patterns.

Historic Non-Native American Resources: Historic non-Native American
resources such
as mining, ranching, transportation systems, exploration, and military
history.

The View From the Periph@: Cultural resource issues from areas along the
Colorado River,
northern Mexico, the Eastern Papagueria, and the Gila River that help to
provide a perspective on
the resources and management of resources in the Western Papagueria.

There will be two panel discussions. The first seeks to develop formal
partnerships between
academic institutions and federal/state agencies so as to involve students
and professors in
innovative and cost-effective research and management projects. The second
panel discussion
seeks to develop a partnered plan for the long-term management of cultural
resources in the
Western Papagueria. There also will be overviews of the history of the
Western Papagueria and
of the military use of the Barry M. Goldwater Range, as well as a session to
allow agencies and
Native American groups to articulate their views and concerns about cultural
resource
management issues in the area.

The workshop will feature poster sessions immediately following the daytime
activities.
Evening events will highlight the workshop on both days.

Thursday evening will feature a discussion as to how Native Americans can
become more
effectively involved in the stewardship of historic Native American
resources on federal and state
lands. There will also be a discussion of ways in which federal and state
cultural resource
management programs can enhance cultural resources education for individual
Native American
Tribes, while at the same time more effectively communicating cultural
resource issues that are of
impo@ce for Native Americans to the public at large.

Friday evening will feature keynote addresses highlighting aspects of the
history of the Western
Papagueria, and honoring the contributions of key individuals, both living
and deceased, who
played important roles in creating or de@g that history.

Because of the large number of activities packed into these two days, we
hope to include
breakfast doughnuts, lunch, and dinner. Coffee, tea and water will be
available throughout each
day. There will be a modest registration fee to help cover this service.

We ask that you take the time to read through the enclosed materials and to
fill out the
questionnaires. We would like for you to mail the completed questionnaires
by November 22,
1995. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact our staff
archaeologist, Dr. W.
Bruce Masse, at telephone (602) 856-3823 or facsimile telecopier (602)
856-3817. We welcome
your participation in the Western Papagueria Cultural Resources Workshop.

Sincerely
MARVIN R. ESMOND, Brig Gen, USAF
