Hieroglyphs, hand signs, and the language of calendars in Ancient Maya texts Cassie Sando Wed, 01/28/2026 - 18:06

Event Abstract: Ancient Maya cosmology and sociocultural conduct was entwined with a complex calendar system. This is evident from thousands of stone inscriptions and other extant texts, especially given the large percentage of calendar-date expressions within the corpus of hieroglyphic writings. Certainly, calendar expressions are entwined with the underlying language of the hieroglyphs. Clauses with calendar expressions have a specific grammar, and a scribe could choose from a variety of distinct formats to express any date. Each date format corresponded to a specific calendar within the system, and each calendar involved specific meanings or functions given how it uniquely defined one or more cycles of time as a relationship between numeracy and the cosmological order. Calendrical components thereby had layered meanings. For example, a basic unit of time might be synonymous with an animating force or a rite. Different dates could also resonate with one another through their related cyclic properties, and so a specific date within a text could have a particular local meaning if it resonated with a past date in some association with an ancestor. Numbers, especially as they functioned in calendar expressions, are notable for this type of meaning enrichment. Consequently, each basic numeral had multiple distinct hieroglyphic forms, including an iconic bar-and-dot form and an elaborate figural form that depicted a number's patron deity. In this talk, I will argue that there is yet more to this ancient scribal language of calendars than what is made explicit through hieroglyphic writing. By drawing on my recent work to decipher Ancient Maya textual hand signs, I will show how scribes composed calendar expressions that breached hieroglyphic content, in terms of both graphic form and conveyed meaning. Specifically, I aim to highlight the following: Calendar dates encoded by the hand signs of depicted figures within the art of a text; An implied calendrical text that harmonizes local and cosmological concerns; and Intentional polyvalent expressions that hinge on calendrical semantics to create a text that, like time, can be experienced in a nonlinear way.

Bio

Rich A. Sandoval is a linguistic anthropologist with an interest in the unique and diverse communication traditions of Indigenous America, especially those involving signed language. He is specifically focused on practices that integrate hand signs with speech or another modality of linguistic expression. His earlier work described this type of multimodality in Arapaho language, as a feature of casual storytelling. He is currently exploring the phenomenon within Ancient Maya texts, where writing combines hieroglyphs and hand signs held by depicted persons or other figures.

Land Grants, Extension Service and Institutional Amnesia: The �Թ�� of Colorado's Forgotten Origins and Potential Futures

Land Grants, Extension Service and Institutional Amnesia: The �Թ�� of Colorado's Forgotten Origins and Potential Futures

�Թ�� Event: Many American institutions today have become unmoored from their origins in ways that weaken their coherence and reduce their legitimacy. The 150th anniversary of the �Թ�� of Colorado presents a timely opportunity to reflect on our own origins, and legacies and obligations that are too little known. If asked, “Is the �Թ�� of Colorado a land grant institution?” most with an even cursory familiarity with the higher education sector would answer no—that distinction belongs to Colorado State �Թ��, the state's official Morrill Act designee. However, this assumption obscures a more complex and consequential reality.

CU Boulder began when Colorado's 1875 Enabling Act allocated approximately 43,000 acres of federal land for the new university—lands that had been systematically appropriated from Indigenous Peoples before being distributed to build the state's educational infrastructure. For nearly 100 years, in compliance with the obligations derived from the federal land grant and nineteenth-century conceptions of the state university, CU embraced a comprehensive public service mission through its Extension Division, helping to establish municipal governments, community colleges, and civic organizations across Colorado. Then, in the decades following World War II, that identity was increasingly eclipsed by federal research partnerships and the quest for national and international prestige.

This panel brings together three scholars whose work illuminates different dimensions of this history and its implications for higher education today. Together, they will explore how the fading of institutional memory regarding CU's land grant origins and history of direct service has obscured important obligations—both to the Indigenous Peoples whose dispossession made its founding possible and to the Colorado communities it once served as a matter of constitutional mandate. At a moment when universities face declining public trust, volatile federal funding, and fundamental questions about their civic role, recovering this history offers more than historical correction. It clarifies the kinds of structural commitments—shared governance with communities, accountable partnership practices, and material engagement with Indigenous Nations—that could rebuild institutional legitimacy over the long term.

Grounded in archival research and in conversation with historical and legal scholarship, this presentation will challenge participants to reconsider what obligations flow from CU's actual origins. It will also explore what was lost when extension work was phased out in the 1970s, what innovative approaches to statewide engagement have developed since—sometimes fitfully but persistently—and what opportunities emerge from reconnecting with Colorado's diverse communities.

As we mark our sesquicentennial year, this panel asks not whether CU Boulder is a land grant institution with a mission of direct public service—the historical record is clear—but what it would mean to reclaim that identity today. This is a unique moment to integrate our research excellence with renewed commitment to direct community engagement, honoring both our founding obligations and Colorado's contemporary needs. The question before us is how we can build the relationships, momentum, and shared vision to make this future real.

CU Boulder Fall 2024 Powwow: A Resounding Celebration of Culture and Connection Lila Crank Thu, 12/05/2024 - 16:34

The Fall 2024 Powwow at CU Boulder marked the return of a beloved tradition to campus after a 23-year hiatus. On September 28, Farrand Field became a vibrant hub of song, dance, and storytelling, as over 1,500 attendees gathered to celebrate Native community, build connections, and honor Native students. Over 70 dancers and 25 drummers also joined the powwow, representing six different states and at least 20 tribes.

The CU Boulder Fall 2024 Powwow was far more than a cultural event on campus—it was a powerful act of community-building and a reflection of CU Boulder’s Land Acknowledgment in action. The powwow was woven together by the tremendous efforts of staff and faculty, the work and vision of students, the participation, council, and support of community members, and administrative leaders who are dedicated to the thriving and joy of Native students at CU Boulder.

Dance categories from Tiny Tots to Golden Age, including Jingle, Grass, Fancy, and Traditional, brought dynamic energy to the arena, led by Head Staff and Drums. The day was enriched by the guidance of experienced Arena Director Phil Gover, Audio Engineer Anthony Crank, and Spiritual Leader Marty ChaseAlone who upheld the Powwow’s sacred purpose.

Vendors showcased stunning artistry, from beadwork and jewelry to textiles and foods, while educational moments offered attendees a deeper understanding of the cultural and spiritual significance of Powwows.

Acknowledging Key Contributions

The Fall 2024 CU Boulder Powwow was made possible through a collaborative effort among diverse partners who contributed expertise, resources, and community connections. Key collaborators included the Center for Native American and Indigenous Studies (CNAIS), which led logistical planning and financial coordination; the Center for Inclusion and Social Change (CISC), which managed media, cultural competency efforts, and event organization; and 1st Tribal Consulting, providing invaluable guidance and day-of support. Departments across campus, including Student Affairs, the Environmental Center, Theatre & Dance, Recreation Center, and the College of Music, provided essential funding, resources, and staff support, ensuring the Powwow's success. Together, these partners revived a vibrant tradition that celebrated Indigenous culture and community.

Importantly, Native students were integral to not only the execution of the day, but also aspects of the organizing. The undergraduate Oyate Native American and Indigenous Student Organization's early planning and vision laid the foundation for this event, and the Native Graduate Student Group generously offered community connections that helped bring the Powwow to life.

We also extend heartfelt gratitude to Steven LaPointe and Earlidawn Roy from 1st Tribal Consulting, the event’s Master of Ceremonies and Tabulator, respectively. The couple's contributions went far beyond their roles on the day-of. Steve and Erlidawn provided invaluable pre-event consultation, sharing their vast network of expertise, and offering cultural education throughout the powwow.

Sustainability and Community Collaboration

The Powwow embodied a commitment to sustainability, achieving an impressive 89% waste diversion rate with the generous donations of waste bins and staffing from the Environmental Center. Additionally, 100 volunteers from across the community, all of whom attended cultural sensitivity training prior to the powwow, played an essential role in executing the event. Volunteers aided with every aspect of event logistics, from set up/take down, escorting elders in golf carts, to handing out water on the hot day. Volunteers included CU Boulder and CU Denvers students, staff, and faculty, as well as people in leadership positions both at CU and in community organizations, such as the Boulder Public Library.

The powwow was beautiful and fun! I enjoyed having the opportunity to volunteer, connect with people in my community, and learn from native students and staff who organized the volunteer training and the event. Thank you!

Indeed, partnerships with CU Boulder departments, local organizations, and Native communities provided the critical support needed to make this celebration possible. The revival of the CU Boulder Powwow was made possible by the generous support of numerous internal and external co-sponsors. Internal contributors included the Center for Native American and Indigenous Studies (CNAIS), Center for Inclusion and Social Change (CISC), Department of Theatre & Dance, College of Music, Department of Ethnic Studies, CU Art Museum, the College of Arts & Sciences, the Dean of Student Success, Student Affairs, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Department of History, Women and Gender Studies Program, School of Education, Leeds School of Business, Renee Crown Wellness Institute, Recreation Center, Fiske Planetarium, Health and Wellness Services, the American Indian Alumni Association, the Office of Community and Government Affairs, Center for the American West, and the Arts and Sciences JEDI Initiative.

External partners included New Era Colorado Grant, First Nations Development Institute, Boulder Public Library, Read Queen Bookstore, and Greenhouse Scholars.

The combined efforts of these co-sponsors raised the funds needed to make this cultural event a vibrant and meaningful celebration.

Looking Ahead with the Charge of an Eagle Staff

Our students had the great honor of being gifted an Eagle Staff special made by family of JMichael Crank. The charge of this staff is the spirit with which we hope to approach all future powwows - to take responsibility for one another's wellbeing, to be steadfast in our advocacy for Native peoples, and honoring community through gathering regularly.

We received surveys from 25% of our audience and have valuable feedback for future powwows. The overwhelmingly positive feedback from attendees emphasized the event’s warm and inclusive atmosphere. Native students remarked how important it was for them to feel at home and the significance of the day on their sense of belonging. To follow the charge of the eagle staff, CNAIS and CISC would like to see this experience sustained and further enhanced. To do so, alongside other organizing partners and various campus stakeholders, we are identifying how to better navigate, and minimize or even eliminate, institutional barriers for powwow planning and external Native community integration.

Additionally, to sustain and grow this tradition, we invite the community to support future Powwows through donations, sponsorships, and volunteer efforts.

Thank you to everyone who participated in and contributed to this unforgettable celebration of our beautiful CU Boulder Indigenous community. Together, we can ensure that the Powwow tradition continues to thrive at CU Boulder for years to come!

This event is co-sponsored by the Department of Anthropology, the Center for African & African American Studies, the Center for Native American and Indigenous Studies, the Institute of Behavioral Science, the Institute for Behavioral Genetics, the Department of Classics, the Department of Geography, the Department of Integrative Physiology, the Department of Sociology, the LGBTQ Studies Program, the International Affairs Program, and the �Թ�� of Colorado Museum of Natural History

ABSTRACT

This lecture concerns the origins of White supremacy as a cover for the immorality of slavery and colonialism. Anthropology will legitimize the idea of White supremacy in both its biological and cultural subdisciplines, by degree. I show the contestation of racist science by African diasporic intellectuals from the beginning until the present. One of the many twists and turns White supremacy takes in popular discourse and scientific theories is the current 'evasive racism' and 'unmarked whiteness' that have made the denial of racism into the new racism. There is typically a moral gloss over discriminatory behavior from Christian to 'natural' justifications for inequity, to the current performative anti-racism, that disguises on-going material discrimination. Current 'diversity regimes' achieve this 'moral cover' by misdirection, to pose 'All Lives Matter (which we already know) in place of Black Lives Matter (which White people need to learn).

�Թ�� Professor Michael L. Blakey:

Michael L. Blakey is National Endowment for the Humanities Professor of Anthropology, Africana Studies, and American Studies, and Founding Director of the Institute for Historical Biology at William & Mary. He received the B.A. at Howard �Թ��, the M. A. and Ph.D. in anthropology at the �Թ�� of Massachusetts-Amherst, and completed specialized studies at Oxford and London Universities. Blakey held professorships at Spelman College, Columbia, Brown, La Sapienza, and Howard �Թ��, where he founded the W. Montague Cobb Biological Anthropology Laboratory. He has served as president of the Association of Black Anthropologists (1987-1989), and member of the editorial boards of American Anthropologist (2012-2016) and American Antiquity (2021-). Blakey represented the United States on the Council of the 4th World Archaeological Congress in Cape Town, South Africa (1999). He is a member of the Scholarly Advisory Committee of the National Museum of African American History and Culture of the Smithsonian Institution (2006-), where he previously held the position of Research Associate in Physical Anthropology at the National Museum of Natural History (1985- 1994). He was a Key Advisor to the Race: Are We So Different exhibition and website (understandingrace.org) of the American Anthropological Association (from 2008).

Blakey was Scientific Director of the New York African Burial Ground Project (1992-2009), the most sophisticated bioarchaeological project in the United States. His team began ethical bioarchaeology, the term ‘descendant community,’ and its use in an empowered public engagement intended for the democratization of knowledge. The Manhattan site became a U.S. National Monument in 2007. He continues to help facilitate descendant communities’ empowerment to tell their own stories and memorialize their dead. The African Burial Ground’s clientage model of public engagement contributed to the new best practices of the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2018. Blakey has been appointed Co-Chair of the American Anthropological Association’s Commission for the Ethical Treatment of Human Remains mandated to consolidate and advance the highest ethical standards for the treatment of all human skeletons and tissue samples at archaeological sites, museums, and laboratories in the United States (2022-2024). In 2021, Blakey was presented the President’s Award of the American Anthropological Association, the Legacy Award of the Association of Black Anthropologists, and, in 2022, the Plumeri Award for Faculty Excellence at William & Mary. He is currently completing a 1,500-page monograph on race and racism in science and society, adding to his approximately 90 reports, refereed articles, and edited volumes.

In Say, Listen: Writing as Care, scholars working within Blackness and Indigeneity model an innovative method for thinking, writing, and practicing care together. The Black | Indigenous 100s Collective emerged before the COVID-19 pandemic as a means to grapple with the sometimes-frustrating limits of life in the academy and the urgency for conversation between Black and Indigenous thinkers. Building on the 100-word writing experiment that originated with Emily Bernard at the �Թ�� of Vermont in 2009, each entry is precisely 100 words and draws inspiration from the one that came before.
