9:30 – 12:00	Witches of Abiquiu	Guest speaker: Rick Hendricks from the Historical Society of New Mexico Speakers Bureau An outbreak of witchcraft in Abiquiu, New Mexico, occurred between 1756 and 1766, more than six decades after the 1692 witchcraft trials in Salem, Massachusetts. The land grant to Genizaro Indians of Abiquiu was the centerpiece of Governor Tomás Vélez Cachupín’s plan to establish a protective buffer against hostile Natives thereby securing the survival of New Mexico’s Hispano settlements. The governor’s strategy allowed the Natives to retain their religious ceremonial practices. Franciscan Father Father Juan José Toledo objected, alleging that the Genizaros had bewitched him and made him seriously ill. Father Toledo was eventually charged with heretical practices and removed from Abiquiu. The story of the witches of Abiquiu can be seen as of similar in many respects to the Salem witchcraft trials and of no less importance.	Lower Pavilion
