HISTORIC FLAGSTAFF
By Gary O'Brien
I n many respects, the city of Flagstaff is sti II an
original. Several downtown buildings still standing are
the original structures on their sites.
Flagstaff had its beginnings in the area known as
Old Town, at the base of Mars Hill. The first struc­tures
were tents and wooden buildings.
When the Santa Fe railway came to Flagstaff, the
track section passing Old Town was too steep to start
the loaded freights. So the railroaders parked a boxcar
at approximately the same location as the present
train station to serve as a freight depot.
THE BEGINNINGS OF NEW TOWN: This photo
taken about 1883 shows the new, relocated town
being built in the area between what is now Leroux
& San Francisco St. facing Santa Fe. Photo courtesy
of the Northern Arizona Pioneers Historical Society.
After several fires, most notably in 1884 and 1887,
the community made a decision to move to the area
near the freight depot. R ather than repeating the
earlier mistakes of building with wood, farsighted
businessmen built with sandstone.
The oldest of these buildings still stands on the
east corner of Santa Fe Avenue and San Francisco
Street, across the street from the Amtrak Depot.
Presently housing a tavern, the building was originally
the Pioneer Drugstore. Built by D. J. Brannen in
1883, the drugstore met a vital need of the growing
community. Brannen was the first physician in F lag­staff,
and his drugstore doubled as Flagstaff's first
clinic.

Another historic structure is a block west on Santa
Fe Avenue, on the west corner of Santa Fe and
Leroux. The building is presently used for offices
on the second floor, with a camera store on the ground
floor. Originally known as the Bank Hotel, the sand­stone
structure housed the Citizen's Bank and Hotel.
Built in 1887 by Thomas F. McMillan, Flagstaff's
first permanent settler, the building is on the National
Historic Register as an historic site. I n the early 1900s,
the hotel was the departure point for the G rand Can­yon
stage. For $20.00, tourists could travel by stage
with a six horse hitch to the Grand Canyon to admire
"the sublime beauty of one of Nature's greatest
spectac les".
Just north on Leroux stands another of Flagstaff's
historic buildings, The Weatherford Hotel. Built in
1898, the hotel is being considered for inclusion in
the National Register of Historic Sites.
Out Fort Valley Road (U.S. 180) is what once was
the County Hospital for the I ndigent. The hospital,
opened in 1907, remained in operation until 1937.
Many of Flagstaff's pioneers spent their last days
within the walls of that hospital. It was finally re­stored
as a museum by the Northern Arizona Pioneers
Historic Society.
Also restored and moved was the cabin of one
Ben Doney, an early pioneer. That cabin now sits
near the present hospital, and serves to remind us of
the days when Flagstaff was an outpost on the Ameri­can
frontier and life was not as easy as it is today.
FAMED FOR ITS GOOD SERVICE: The County
Hospital as it was in 1910 now houses the very
interesting Pioneers Historical Museum. Photo

MUSEUM of NORTHERN ARIZONA
By Raymond Johnson
The Museum of Northern Arizona is located just
north of Flagstaff on Highway 180.
As visitors enter the museum, they are informed
of the museum's philosophy on a bulletin board at
the main entrance, "This Museum Displays Ideas,
Not Things."
Since its founding in 1928, museum personnel
have been involved in studying ancient cultures and
the I nd ians who still live in Northern Arizona today.
Other studies, which are presently done at the
museum's research center, include the sciences of
biology, geology, and ecology.
The museum has a collection of more than
150,000 items gathered from research studies in the
f ields of anthropology, biology, and geology. The
museum's art collection has over 1,800 items.
Several permanent exhibits display a variety of
items. There is the Hopi Indian Kachina doll collec­tion.
The dolls are carved from cottonwood tree
roots to represent the masked dancers in religious
ceremonies. There is a full scale model of a Hopi
Kiva. Kivas are used primarily for ceremonial prep­arations
and for Kach ina dances during the cold
months.
There is also a Navajo rug room, which displays

several examples of rugs, blankets and garmets woven
by Navajo women. Other examples of Navajo art
include the silverwork and sandpainting displays.
Sandpainting is part of a religious ceremony per­formed
to treat injury or disease.
The museum geological exhibits highlight five
geologic eras, including the "recent" events in Nor­thern
Arizona such as the formation of the San
Francisco Peaks, Oak Creek Canyon and the erup­tion
of Sunset Crater. Also, displayed in the geology
exhibit is the skeleton of a ground sloth, an animal
that has been extinct for at least 10,000 years.
Special exhibits are offered each year from March
through December. Three annual events are the Hopi
Craftsman Show (June 3~-July 4), the Navajo Crafts­man
Show (July 28-August 1), and the Student Art
Show (December 2-31).
The museum shop offers authentic Indian arts and
crafts for sale as a source of income for the Indians.
By taking the self-guided nature trail starting at
the flagpole near the museum, visitors may see many
plants, birds, and insects common to Northern Ari­zona.
Founded by Dr. Harold S. Colton, the museum has
developed significantly from its beginnings of a small
Flagstaff Women's Club building. The museum and
research center now occupy over 30 buildings on 110
acres of land on both sides of Hwy. 180. Besides
housing the museum and research center, these build­ings
provide administrative offices, research labora­tories,
library facilities and storage space for the
expanding study collections.
The Northern Arizona Society of Science and
Art owns and operates the museum. The society
publishers a quarterly journal, Plateau. For the publi­cation
of scientific research in detail, the museum
maintains a Bulletin series, a Technical series and a
Ceramic series of journals. Other publications and
books are on sale at the museum desk.
The society is a private institution supported by
endowments, gifts, and membership dues.
A visit to the museum is an educational experience
for both young and old, because "This Museum
Displays Ideas, Not Things."

POWWOW
50th ANNIVERSARY
WITH A 100 YEAR BACKGROUND
By Lory Liggit
Pow Wow, celebrating its 50th anniversary this
year, features five days of fun and entertainment
June 30th through July 4th.
At this time, Fort Tuthill, located just south of
Flagstaff on 89A where Pow Wow is staged, becomes
Boomsville. Visitors from around the world come to
see the All I ndian Pow Wow with participants from
Canada to Mexico and the Atlantic to the Pacific.
I ndian tribes such as the Hopi, Navajo, Apache,
Zuni, Cheyenne, Laguna, Aztec, Kiowa, Sioux and
Taos gather for a celebration to renew friendships
and gain new ones.
Spectators can see more than 700 I ndian cow­boys
taking the jolts at the rodeo for approximately
$25,000 in prize money, view the ceremonial dances
lighted by the spectacular blaze of huge burning cedar
logs and visit displays of jewelry, blankets and other
handicrafts the I ndians have created. Many of these
items are offered for sale by the artisans.
It all began in 1876 when a wagon train of settlers
set camp under the San Francisco Peaks. As they
were stripping a huge pine tree for a flag staff (where
the city got its name), they were being eyed by the
curious I ndians. The I ndians were invited to join in
on the festivities of the Fourth of July celebration,
which in later years attracted more and more Indian
tribes.
In 1929 the city of Flagstaff designated the F ou rth
of July to the I ndians for the celebration of Pow Wow.
We hope you enjoy this and future Pow Wows and
any suggestions or remarks you may have, please
send them to the Flagstaff Chamber of Commerce,
101 West Santa Fe, Flagstaff, Arizona 86001. Or

POW WOW'S INDIAN DANCES
By Ken Brown
A must for the All I ndian Pow Wow visitors are
the ceremonial dances beginning at 8 p.m. on June 30,
Ju Iy 1, and Ju Iy 2. As the ceremon ial dancers gather
to bless the arena and drive away the evil spirits, huge
bonfires are I it, and a peacefu I hush falls over the Pow
Wow arena creating a feeling of days long forgotten.
The dancers prepare to perform authentic rituals,
some of which were old when Columbus set sail for
the new world. The dances fill the night with whirling,
prancing color. The steady beat of the rums echo out
an hypnotic feeling, as dancers and singers once again
affirm age old customs and tribal traditions. Some
of the dances performed are social dances, NAVAJO
Yei Bichai & Fire Dance; Dance and Shield by plains
tribes; APACHE, the very colorful Crown Dance.
Always a favorite are the AZTEC, performing the
Love Dance and F ire Dance. Each dance has a special
meaning to the tribe. Many signify harvest time,
planting time, successfu I hunting and right puberty.
Representing the 1979 Pow Wow dances are
Aztec, Navajo, Hopi, Apache, Zuni, Laguna, Chey­enne,
Kiowa, Taos, and Jemez I ndians. Many of
these tribes and dance teams have attended Pow Wow
since its beginning. The ceremonial dances are some­thing
a visitor to the Pow Wow must experience.

RODEOS
By Vicki De Larwell
Rodeos are a tradition in the Southwest. However,
it is surprising how many folks have yet to see one,
much less know what a rodeo is exactly.
The word "rodeo", in its American application,
means the celebration that was the aftermath of the
cattle roundups in the far West. I n Spanish, however,
rodeo (pronounced ro-day-o) actually described the
roundup, and is so used in Mexico.
Rodeo admission in the West was free until 1888,
or 1889. By that time, the exhibitions were attracting
plenty of patrons. The hard-rid ing cowboys thought
the customers should pay admission, which would be
split as prize money.
Year after year, rodeos, because of the thrilling
deeds of the performers and the wild chances taken by
the riders, have increased in popularity. But arguments
continued about how to split up the prize money. In
1928 the Rodeo Association of America was formed
and has since had control over most rodeos. A list of
eight events was adopted for a standard rodeo program.
Event winners receive so many points, which really
means so many dollars. The person who receives the
most total points for all events is awarded the title
"Champion COWboy".
The eight standard events, which help determine
the All-Around Champion are:

Bronc Riding
Riding a saddled bronc with one rein; time limit
8 or 10 seconds; rider not permitted to take up slack
or change hands; judged on sk ill.
Bulldogging (or steer wrestling)
Working against the clock, dogger leaps off horse,
grasps steer by the horns, and twists him down so
animal lies flat on ground.
Calf Roping
A timed event, roper must rope calf, throw him
by hand and tie three feet together.
Steer Decorating
Similar to bulldogging, except decorator places
rubber band on animal's nose or ribbon on horn in­stead
of twisting down.
Steer Riding
Judged for skill, with nothing but a loose rope
around steer's body, cowboy rides steer for 8 or 10
seconds. Similar to bronc riding, but rider has no
rein and no saddle.
Steer Roping
Steer is roped by hand, a timed event.
Team Roping
One cowboy ropes steer by the head, the other by
hind feet, a timed event.
Bareback Riding
Same as steer rid ing, except horses are used.
I nterestingly, the earliest rodeos were exclusively
for men, but the later-day shows have events for
women, and the girl riders usually steal the applause!
You can share in all the excitement of a rodeo at
the 1979 Pow Wow as I ndian men and girs compete
in events beginning every day at noon, June 30-July 4.
POW WOW RODEO
The Pow Wow's All I ndian Rodeo begins each day
at 12 noon with the colorful grand entry ride ... more
than 700 I ndian cowboys compete for over $25,000
in cash prizes as well as silver Pow Wow belt buckles
which are awarded to the best riders and ropers. To
the I ndian cowboy winning the most events goes the
coveted 1979 all-round cowboy sadd Ie.
The Pow Wow rodeo is an amateur affair, giving
the working cowboys that herd their sheep and cattle
on the reservations a chance to perform, thus pro­viding
more fun and many unscheduled thrills for
the spectators.
Each day there is a fu II range of rodeo events,
including bull riding, bareback riding, saddle bronc
riding, calf roping, team roping, bull dogging, and
for the young I ndian cowgirls, exciting barrel racing.
The All Indian Pow Wow Rodeo - a rodeo with a
different flavor of fun and excitement.
NATIVE AMERICAN FOOD:
TASTE BUD TEMPTERS
By Laura Smith
All around the Pow Wow grounds, people are
~a~ing pink cotton candy, caramel and candied apples,
JUICY hamburgers and ... something different, some­thing
unusual. This unfamiliar item is sometimes
golden brown and light. Some are smothered with
steaming beans and cheese. Others are covered with
powdered sugar or honey.
Near the dusty rodeo grounds, amid the ferris
wheel and roller coaster, are a number of booths. The
pungent aroma of hot grease and sound of cool dough
frying is apparent. Navajo fry bread is being made and
sold - and is devoured by hungry Pow Wow vis itors.
Navajo fry bread is round and flat in its appear­ance,
thin layers of golden bubbles form on its surface
while it is frying.
Golden Mesquite honey sticks to your fingers, as
the warm fry bread makes it th in. Fry bread has a
delicious flavor, a taste treat you can make yourself
after the Pow Wow.
NAVAJO FRY BREAD
2 cups white flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1f2 cup powdered milk
1f2 teaspoon salt
Mix the above ingredients together. Add warm water,
a little at a time, to form a dough. Knead until dough
is soft and not sticky. Cover and let stand for one
hour.
Shape into small balls. On lightly floured surface roll
out with rolling pin into circles 1f2 to % inch thick.
Put 1f2 inch of lard or shortening in heavy skillet. Test
for hotness by putting dough in the skillet. If it
browns quickly but does not burn, the fat is at the
right temperature. Place circles of dough - one at a
time - into skillet. Brown on both sides and drain
on paper towels.

PINON MUFFINS
Sweet pinon muffins are another I ndian food
which you can enjoy in your own home.
Pinon muffins are made from the nuts of the
Pinon pine. The trees are found in the West at ele­vations
between 6,000 and 7,000 feet.
Various tribes of the Southwest have used the nuts
as a food staple - from Havasupi Pinon nut baby food
to Pinon soup and muffins. The pinon nuts are picked
in the fall and early winter. They may also be pur­chased
in natural food stores or fruit stands.
SWEET PINON MUFFINS
Yield : 6 muffins
1 cup ground pinon nuts
1f2 cup whole wheat flour
1f2 cup water
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons baking powder
1f2 teaspoon salt
Combine dry ingredients. Add water and honey and
mix well. Pour into greased muffin tins and bake for
1f2 hour at 3500

music, dance, and rodeo ... now take a little bit home
with you in the sweet taste of fry bread and muffins.

Grand Canyon
For starters, let's go to the Grand Canyon, For a
fu II day of scenic beauty and geologic wonder, leave
Flagstaff early and head north on U.S. 89 to Cameron
(52 miles). Then follow Arizona 64, with a quick stop
at Desert View, to Grand Canyon Village (55 miles).
Bring a lunch and picnic on this breathtaking stretch
to the Village as you visit Canyon of the Little Colo­rado,
Desert View, Mather Point, Yavapai Point, Hopi
House and more.
At Grand Canyon Village you can find full infor­mation
about the National Park and its various bus
tours. After three hours at the G rand Canyon, return
to Flagstaff via U.S. 180 (79 miles) just in time to put
the sun down.

Walnut Canyon, Sunset Crater, and Wupatki
You can't beat this - three wonders: Walnut
Canyon, Sunset Crater, and Wupatki, all concentrated
into an 81-mile round trip drive. But this short drive
can easily lead to a full day of climbing, exploring, or
just plain relaxing. On the eastbound 1-40 freeway,
head to the Walnut Canyon interchange and turn south
for three miles. Here, see the site of 300 small 13th
century cliff dwellings carved out of shallow caves of
a steep canyon wall. Return to 1-40 toward Flagstaff,
get off on the Page exit and follow U.S. 89 north 10
miles to Sunset Crater turnoff.
At Sunset Crater see the rising 1,000-foot high
volcano that erupted last in 1064 A. D. Here is a
good place to break out the picnic lunch; there are

limited public accommodations on this trip. After
lunch, follow the loop road 15 miles north to Wupatki
National Monument, location of numerous Pueblo
I ndian ruins built of shale rock. Then return to Flag­staff
via U.S. 89.
Petrified Forest and Painted Desert
Prepare yourself for a full day of driving and sight­seeing
on your way to the magnificent Painted Desert
and Petrified Forest - at least 11 hours. At sunrise,
head east on 1-40 to Holbrook and then on U.S. 180
to the Visitor's Center at the Petrified Forest. On
your way to the Painted Desert Visitor's Center,
have your camera ready for a 22-mile drive through
the awesome forest preserved by nature. En route,
take the circular drive overlooking the desert. You will
see for yourself why it seems to be painted with sweep­ing
strokes of a brush. Beautifu I. You'll want to
either picnic or grab a bite to eat at the restaurant
before you begin your 115-mile journey back to F lag­staff
through Holbrook on 1-40.

NORTHLAND CAMPING
GUIDE
By Debe Campbell
Beautiful National Park and Forest campgrounds
and picnicking spots are abundantly scattered through­out
the Coconino and Kaibab National Forests. Sev­eral
private campgrounds also dot the area. But you
need to know what to expect, what to do and what
not to do before you set out.
Most spots are located near shopping facilities or
mini-markets and have drinking water available. How­ever,
it is wise to shop or fill the canteens before you
settle in - to save a trip back to town.
National Forest camp sites generally require fees.
These nominal fees are usually collected on an honor
system or by patrolling Forest Rangers. Generally,
the fee can be dropped into a fee box at the camp
entrance.
Several restrictions are enforced throughout
the area National Parks and National Forests. Some
you should be aware of are backroad usage, smoking
and campfire restrictions.
During high fire-danger season, in the summer,
vehicles are often not permitted on backroads with­out
a National Forest Service inspection and permit.
Smoking restrictions also exist in fire season. Notices

are posted when you may not smoke outside of your
vehicle. Check with the National Forest Service in
Flagstaff, 774-4661, if you have any questions.
You're reminded not to build campfires or use
open flame out-door cookers in areas other than those
designated in National Forest campgrounds. Dis­regarding
these restrictions may result in a stiff fine.
Be advised you may also be fined for camping
outside of designated campgrounds within the National
Park or National Forest.
As for picnicking, many IIside of the road" spots
provide natural IImini-galieries" suited for family
lunches and exploration. Take a bird identification
book along - you'll encounter many unusual species
uncommon to other parts of the country. Many
rodents will decorate the forests, too - squirrels and
chipmunks especially. There is no need to fear larger
mammals as they generally stay clear of inhabited
areas during the daylight hours. Reptiles are usually
isolated to rockier regions but be on the look-out if
you're in the backwoods canyons.
Rangers patrol both National Parks and Forests
regularly, collecting camping fees, enforcing restric­tions
and providing information.
Listed opposite page are National Park, National
Forest and some private campgrounds and picnic
areas in the Flagstaff vicinity.
Enjoy your stay in the beautifu I outdoors of the
Northland .

SAN FRANCISCO PEAKS
By Dorrie Stewart
As you drive through the fairly level high desert
land typ ical of Northern Arizona, a sudden view of
the San Francisco Peaks is spectacu lar. Located near
the base is Flagstaff, known as the City of Seven
Wonders.
The San Francisco Peaks have created some con­troversy
in Flagstaff for the past several years, notably
because of proposals to expand the Arizona Snow
Bowl, a popular ski area.
Part of the controversy is that development wou Id
be detrimental to the ecological and spiritual nature
of the Peaks.
Native Americans in the area consider the Peaks
religious grounds. Among other things, the Peaks are
the traditional home of Kachinas, supernatural beings
which descend to Hopi villages during the growth
season.
The ecological factor considered is the human
impact on the natural environment of the area. A
variety of plants and trees are present on the Peaks,
including one of the world's largest stands of Pon­derosa
pine t rees.
The four peaks, Humphrey's, Agassiz, Fremont's
and Doyle are named after prominent men primarily
PHARMACIES
of the 19th century. Humphrey's Peak is the highest,
at 12,670 feet. Agassiz Peak, the location of the
Arizona Snow Bowl, is 12,340 feet high. Fremont's
and Doyle peaks are 11,940 feet and 9,000 feet,
respectively.
The Peaks offer year-round recreation. Skiing
draws crowds to the area during the winter months.
Summers at the Peaks are excellent for many kinds
of outdoor activities, such as riding the Arizona
Snow Bowl's Sky R ide. The lift climbs 2,100 feet
to the top of Agassiz Peak. On a clear day it pro­vides
a view of California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado
and New Mexico.
