Selling the Southwest: Fred Harvey and the Promotion of Native American Cultures

March 12, 2015 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Free

In partnership with the Santa Fe Railway, the Fred Harvey company vigorously promoted travel to the Southwest and was an early innovator of “cultural heritage tourism.” Travelers experienced an idealized version of the Southwest’s Native American cultures through the company’s grand hotels along the Santa Fe line, their Indian Department’s museum rooms and curio shops, and the Harveycar Indian Detours touring service. This visual presentation, which features Lutzick modeling an Indian Detours uniform, explores both the benefits and drawbacks of the commercialization of Native American cultures.
