Call for Participants



The Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian and
the Office of Policy and Analysis are seeking Pueblo Indian participants to
join in a cultural exchange program titled Written in Rock: Collaboration
Among Azerbaijani and Pueblo Indian Communities.

Members of the Pueblo Indian communities in Albuquerque and individuals
from Azerbaijan will work together with archaeologists and conservationists
specializing in the study of petroglyphs—carvings on rock surfaces—to
tackle preservation challenges, share cultural perspectives, and generate
techniques for community outreach to ensure the future of these powerful,
yet fragile, monuments.



This program is a collaborative effort among the Gobustan National
Historical Artistic Preserve, Baku, Azerbaijan, the National Museum of the
American Indian, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, the Office of
Policy and Analysis, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, the Indian
Pueblo Cultural Center, Albuquerque, NM, and Sacred Sites.

It is a Museums Connect project funded in part by a grant from the U.S.
Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and is
administered by the American Association of Museums.
