 First American Art Magazine announces its pilot issue is now available online at firstamericanartmagazine.com. 

A new publication, First American Art Magazine explores all aspects of Indigenous American art, from the visual to the literary. 

Unlike any other magazine on the newsstands, its focus is on Indigenous art of the Americas from an Indigenous perspective, presenting Indigenous critical theory in a way that’s accessible to the general public — both Native and non-Native.

“We want to get to the content and context of the art,” editor/publisher America Meredith (Cherokee Nation) said, “We provide reviews of Native American art shows by Indigenous art writers and profile established and emerging artists from a wide range of media, geographic region and tribal affiliation.”

Lindsey Michal Gonzales of Los Alamos was among more than 2,750 students who received degrees from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln at commencement exercises May 3 and 4.
Gonzales received a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering from the College of Engineering.
 

The Los Alamos Gardening Club Scholarship of $5,000, in memory of Erla Mae Larson was awarded to Nathan Lang. He will attend the University of New Mexico and plans to major in biology or biomedicine. He has been on the cross country team for four years, and has been a downhill skier at Pajarito Mountain for six years. He has worked for the New Mexico Consortium building since 2012. 

Nathan is the son of Michael and Laura Lang. 

The public is welcome to attend a meeting about an upcoming trip to Utah’s Capitol Reef, hosted by the Los Alamos Mountaineers.
The meeting, explaining the trip and event announcements will be at 7:30 p.m., May 15 in the Great Room at Fuller Lodge. Happy Canyon, in the Robbers Roost country, will also be one of the wild places covered.
The May program of the Mountaineers will follow the meeting.
Between Utah’s more famous and most visited national parks lies a spectacular array of natural features that invite adventure and appreciation.
Centered on the less known Capitol Reef National Park, this area offers challenging slot canyons, high mountains, intriguing rock art; and the ideal antidote for stress, traffic jams, and 24/7 communication: true solitude.
Public land and minimal bureaucracy due to low visitation pressure combine to encourage backcountry exploration.
The May program of the Los Alamos Mountaineers, by Rick and Lynne Stinchfield, will cover this remote region.
Because slot canyons and narrows offer the best mix of beauty, physical tests and the unknown, the program will cover several, including at least one in Capitol Reef, the San Rafael Swell, the Dirty Devil River region, the Little Rockies area and perhaps in the Circle Cliffs.
