Title
Cuentame Más: Understanding the Tucson Community Through Tumamoc Hill
Abstract
Tumamoc Hill is at the center of the Tucson community. The themes encompassed by this site touch on nearly every discipline, from history and indigenous studies, to ecology and a fantastic display of public health in action. This site has a history of over one-hundred years of scientific and four-thousand years of human use. Tumamoc Hill has recently opened to visitors during daytime hours, and it receives about 1,500 hundred visitors a day-- likely the most use the Hill has received in its history. This project extends an existing collaboration between the Confluencecenter and the Desert Laboratory on Tumamoc Hill as the Tumamoc Transdisciplinary Arts Program launches in the fall of 2017 to explore, understand, document, and share the stories and richness of Tumamoc Hill in new ways, focusing on the arts and sciences. Cuentame Más celebrates a collaboration between the arts and humanities through harvesting the stories of the community centered around Tumamoc, in the latest chapter of Cemamagi Du’ag, the “hill of the horned lizard.”
