Preserving tradition while looking to the future By Douglas Long Editor In 2018, Peridot native Marlowe Cassadore took over as director of the San Carlos Apache Culture Center Museum. The museum had been founded in the late 1980s, as Cassadore explained, by a group of people who felt the need to preserve Apache culture and language. “They thought one of the best ways to do it was to have a museum, because there was this transition toward younger Apache not understanding who they are, what their culture is and their language,” he said. Cassadore was born and raised in the Peridot area, where the museum is now located along Highway 70. When he started kindergarten at Peridot Lutheran Mission School, he didn’t speak a word of English. He came from a family rich in Apache culture and tradition. He later graduated from the University of Arizona, and then lived and worked for a time in California before returning to San Carlos. When Cassadore took over as director five years ago, the museum collection already included a range of displays on Apache baskets, pottery, clothing, jewelry, tools, foods, traditional games and ceremonies, and more. Cassadore immediately stated his intention to apply knowledge obtained from Apache Elders to expand the museum, add new activities and even find a new location. “This museum was started from scratch. Before, this building was a place where people got their cars fixed, and then it was a small café. It eventually became a museum,” Cassadore said. “I think it was supposed to be temporary, this building. It’s an old building, and it’s not very suitable to protect and preserve some of the collection here, as far as climate control and storage.” Among Cassadore’s tasks as director is applying for grants for things like purchasing instruments to measure the moisture in the air and to help regulate the building’s temperature and humidity levels. He also hopes to secure funding for capacity building so he can hire consultants to help with finding a new building to properly house and preserve the museum, to help with the proper handling and appreciation of the artwork in the collection, and to advise the museum on how to become more organized and codified in its work. The museum also recently submitted a grant application to offer classes to develop Apache artisans to make moccasins, baskets See MUSEUM, page 22 FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK Located near milepost 272 on Hwy 70 Fore more information, please call 928-475-2894 or write to: Cultural Center Director, Marlowe Cassadore marlowe.cassadore@scat-nsn.gov SAN CARLOS APACHE TRIBE CULTURAL CENTER Gateway to the Copper Corridor Winter 2024 21
