Program | Ancient Indigenous Ornithology and Cultural Continuity of the Four Corners

Presented by Chuck LaRue

What can birds tell us about the history, traditions, and cultures of the Four Corners region?

Join Northern Arizona Audubon Society for a fascinating presentation with wildlife biologist and naturalist Chuck LaRue, exploring the deep and enduring relationships between birds and Indigenous Pueblo peoples of the Colorado Plateau.

Through rock art, pottery, basketry, and other archaeological evidence, discover how birds have been represented in cultural traditions for centuries and how these connections continue today.

Drawing on decades of experience studying birds across the Southwest and his research into Ancestral Pueblo material culture, Chuck brings together ornithology, archaeology, and cultural history for a unique perspective on the birds of our region.
