>NEW MEXICO HERITAGE PRESERVATION WEEK CALENDAR OF EVENTS
>MAY 9-17, 1998
>
>Four hundred years ago this year, a small, rather insignificant event began
>a chain of events that forever altered the history, culture, architecture,
>and way of life of what is now New Mexico. A tiny group of settlers arrived
>at two Indian villages on the Rio Grande called, in the Tewa language,
>yúngé and ohke·. The Spanish settlers called the former San Gabriel and
>took up residence there. They called the latter San Juan, and the
>Tewa-speaking people of both villages lived there. 
>
>>From this simple beginning, two ancient cultural traditions began a
>centuries-long process of adapting and adjusting to one another's ways.
>Sometimes this process held mutual advantages, sometimes it led to conflict
>and suffering. As generations passed and other cultural traditions were
>added into the mixture, this process of adaptation and interaction gave
>rise to the unique culture of New Mexico. 
>
>Throughout these past 400 years, the experiences of our people have shaped
>and been shaped by the historic buildings and communities, the very
>landscapes of our state. By preserving the places associated with our
>history, we preserve a tangible link to the heritage of this state for all
>of us and for those yet to come. Please join us in celebrating our history
>by participating in New Mexico Heritage Preservation Week. All of the
>events listed in this calendar are organized and staffed by volunteers who
>would like to share with you their enthusiasm for the history and
>prehistory of New Mexico. Please bring your family and friends and enjoy
>these fascinating, fun, and informative events.

>The Historic Preservation Division wishes to thank the many organizations
>and individuals who volunteered their time to organize and carry out the
>events listed in this calendar. In honor of the 400th anniversary of the
>founding of New Mexico, the Quartocentenario, this year's Heritage
>Preservation Week poster features a view of the interior of the San Jose de
>Gracia Church, built in 1776. Both the church and its collections have been
>designated a National Historic Landmark and still serve the village of Las
>Trampas. Posters are available free of charge while supplies last. For a
>poster or additional information about Heritage Preservation Week, please
>call the Division at (505) 827-6320.
