The French in New Mexico - Four Centuries of Exploration,Adventure, and Influence

Please join Francois-Marie Patorni, an independent scholar specializing in the history of the French-speaking people in New Mexico and the American southwest, as he shares on the history of the French, French Canadians, and other French-speaking people in New Mexico, which includes the last 400 years and covers all regions of New Mexico.

After introducing the speaker’s quest for the French in New Mexico, we will remember the lives of a few of the most influential, unusual, or colorful individuals uncovered through stories of love and death, chases and hunts, and successes and failures, illustrated by images rarely seen before.

Thousands of New Mexicans have French ancestors. This talk is offered as a contribution to their cultural resurrection.

The Artist as Collector: A Visit to the San Ildefonso Home of Russell Sanchez
Museum of Indian Arts and Culture
3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
A Friends of Indian Art Member Event

Russell Sanchez is a very familiar and lauded name to Native art collectors, most recently taking home the Best of Pottery award at 2019 Indian Market. But you may not know that he is a wide-ranging art collector himself. His historic adobe home sits right on the main plaza of San Ildefonso Pueblo, but he has continued to add on to the space over the years to house his growing art collection. From stunning Venetian chandeliers, to folk art from the around the world, to a wide range of Native art, Russell’s eclectic tastes and interests are on full display at his unique home. Hear how he approaches collecting art from the perspective of being an artist himself. 

Please note that you must be a member of the Friends of Indian Art in order to participate in FIA events. You can learn more about about joining the friends group by visiting its page on the Museum of New Mexico Foundation’s website.
