This week on "Voices of Taos," join reporter Olivia Lewis as she talks with Braylon Quiver of Picuris Pueblo, who at just 16 is a budding archaeologist, a fifth-generation micaceous clay potter, and Picuris Pueblo Museum's assistant museum curator.
Lewis and Quiver discuss the Picuris Pueblo Museum and Interpretive Center, which reopened after roughly $1 million in renovations on San Lorenzo Feast Day. The reopening coincides with the return of thousands of artifacts excavated in the 1960s that were on loan to Southern Methodist University Taos.
The two explore discoveries from Picuris' ancestral dig sites, the importance of community input in honoring sacred items, and ways that archaeology has needed to evolve to balance innovation with tradition.
The Picuris Pueblo Museum is across from the Picuris Pueblo Center on 201 Pueblo View Road, Peñasco. Hours are Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays are appointment-only, which can be scheduled through email at museum.director@picurispueblo.org.
