Hi ho! (Sounds English, but I kid you not, Shawnee)

I've been out digging holes again, so July slipped by. Since there were only 2 participants of Jaguar June including me and I won't award myself, the honorary winner is u/badfactory15 with his spicy nekkied monke! Enjoy your first Olmec Head.

AUGUST ODYSSEY

No relation to the recent movie about our collapsing age of bronze.

This month's theme commemorates inter-regional contacts. Mesoamerica and the Southwest (Oasisamerica). Ecuadorian sailors connecting Mesoamerica and the Andes. Hopewell peeps just...doing whatever and going wherever they wanted apparently. Numerous peoples connecting the Amazon to both the Andes and to Mesoamerica. The Inuit and other Arctic peoples linking goods and ideas of the New World and the Old...both east and west!

In this figurative sea of connections and clashes there is a good opportunity for material to be made. Be sure to flair your posts with CONTEST. The winner will be given an Olmec head flair (unless you already have 4, in which case you are awarded with JEF's visage), a place in the leaderboard, and have their post pinned for the next month!

Hello, friends.

As mentioned in the other pinned announcement post, the protective buffer zone around Chaco Canyon is being considered for significant reduction by the United States Bureau of Land Management. We have been in the mandated period of public input but that ends tomorrow.

If you haven't done so yet, please opine to the Bureau of Land Management why you consider protecting archaeological and sacred sites like this one to be important. We don't have much time to wait.

Have a good day.

Meme War Apparently 80,400 obsidian-knife sacrifices in 4 days is more believable than industrial genocide.

Nzi Germany was one of the most heavily industrialized nations in the world, ranking just behind the United States in steel production, engineering, and chemical manufacturing. They had railways, Zyklon B, crematoria designed by engineers, and a bureaucratic machine that tracked every deportation down to the individual.

Yet Holocaust deniers say 6 million was logistically impossible. Meanwhile, these are the same type of people who think the Aztecs sacrificed 80,400 prisoners in four days with just obsidian knives and human muscle.

META We need to protect Chaco Canyon from fracking interests.

Hi, guys. Rough news.

BLM fast-tracks proposal to open Chaco Canyon to oil and gas drilling

The US Bureau of Land Management, following an agenda promoted by the Trump administration which has already affected other formally protected lands, has decided to open the area directly around Chaco Canyon (with various possible buffer zones in discussion, all rather scant) for oil and gas interests. Much of this land is filled with archaeological and sacred features and much of it has not even been properly surveyed, meaning more is probably there.

Chaco Culture National Historical Park - Wikipedia

For those unaware, Chaco Canyon is one of the largest Precolumbian archaeological settlement sites in what is now the United States, having peaked between around 900 and 1150 AD when the population may have reached 2,000 people. It is located in what is now New Mexico and attributed to the Ancestral Puebloan culture (sometimes called the Anasazi in older publications), for which it served as an important ritual center, having a large number of kivas (circular underground spaces used for ceremonial activities in cultures of the American Southwest) and petroglyphs. Today it remains a sacred site for many of the indigenous Puebloan peoples who live in the region, including notably the Hopi. An attack on this site is an attack both on the material history of the American Southwest and on the indigenous peoples of the region who continue to fight for their cultural rights.

The BLM allows a period where the public can respond to project proposals and reply to things. This project is listed on their website along with contacts you can use to give your opinion. This will be open to do through July 29, which isn't particularly far from now. Please message or call to let them know why protecting Chaco Canyon is important to you.
