SUMMARY:Southeastern Archaeological Conference (SEAC) Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Archaeology and Oral Tradition in the American West						\n											\n						\n					\n											\n						NEH Landmarks of American History and Culture						\n						\nDate: July 13-18\, 2025\n\n	A remarkable experience awaits you on the campus of Southern Utah University. Escape into the scenic backdrop of iconic red rock while attending an unforgettable workshop. Location is everything and SUU’s is hard to beat. The 130-acre campus is in the heart of Cedar City\, which sits about halfway between Salt Lake City and Las Vegas on I-15 and is within a 5-hour drive of over 20 national parks and monuments in Utah\, Arizona\, and Nevada. \nThe Voices of the Ancients Institute will expand the length and breadth of American history by employing archaeological inquiry and content\, visiting culturally significant places\, and hearing the history of those places told by diverse voices. The narrative of American history stretches back thousands of years before Europeans entered the Western Hemisphere and includes many different people and cultures. While the history of any pre-colonial culture of North America could be used to expand American history\, the Fremont people who thrived in what is now the state of Utah for more than 1200 years provide an excellent example of efficient adaptation to a desert environment through horticulture and foraging\, the development of complex communities\, and cultural communication through magnificent rock art. The landmarks of their culture are readily accessible and provide a glimpse into culturally rich lives lived long ago. Most importantly\, the descendants of the Fremont people (Paiute\, Shoshone\, Ute\, Goshute\, and Navajo) are still part of the rich tapestry of contemporary American culture and can provide life-changing perspectives about the land and people that have and do live in the American West. \n\n \nThe institute will model an authentic archaeological investigation of the Fremont culture using classroom-ready curricular materials\, first-hand experiences with significant landmarks\, direct connections with descendant community members\, and oral history. Teachers will leave the institute armed with the tools and materials to replicate inquiry-based learning with their students\, which dives deep into authentic content and illuminates a little-known part of American history. \nLEARN MORE AND  REGISTER \nLocation: Southern Utah University\, Cedar City\, Utah \nRegistration fee: $600 \nThe institute includes:\n• High-quality educational materials \nProject Archaeology: Investigating Shelter and Investigating Rock Art \n• Modeled instruction and expert presentations\n• Admission to Frontier Homestead\, and Fremont Indian State Parks\, and Cedar Breaks NM\n• Transportation from campus to National and State Parks and cultural sites \n• Cultural presentations by local indigenous educators\n• Lunches and snacks\n• Closing program and Dinner\n• Professional Development certificate for 30 PD hours \nAdditional Costs:\n• Dinners\n• Lodging (group rate available at the Ramada Inn-NEH2025)\n• Travel to and from Cedar City\, Utah\n• 3 College Credits for $69; must register through SUU Continuing Education (optional) \nContact: Samantha Kirkley at 801-318-9458/ samanthakirkley@suu.edu \n              \n\n\n\n	\nThe Voices of the Ancients Institute has been made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy demands wisdom.
