The Hisatsinom Chapter of the Colorado Archaeology Society will host Kathryn Turney for a discussion about social consequences of land loss on Aug. 7 at the First United Methodist Church in Cortez.

Turney’s presentation, “Social Consequences of Land Loss: Navajo Oral History, Ethnoarchaeology, and Spatial Analysis at Wupatki National Monument, Arizona,” is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the church, 515 Park St. She will discuss how the creation of Wupatki National Monument in 1924 gradually displaced indigenous residents from ancestral homelands leading to loss of territory and connection to family.
