Working in collaboration with the Rio Grande Gorge Project, Dr. Montgomery has documented nomadic material practices, particularly rock art, in northern New Mexico. Drawing on these materials, her research explores the social, political, and economic practices of Ute, Apache, and Comanche groups in the Taos region during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Her talk focuses on the ways in which violence structured interactions between indigenous communities and between indigenous communities and Spanish settlers.
