Series 6: Tarahumara (Rarámuri) contains photographs from 1971, 1977-1978 in Chihuahua, Mexico and 1979 in Arizona at the Arizona State Museum. The Rarámuri, or Tarahumara, are Native people from the Northwest region of Mexico. Located in the state of Chihuahua, in a portion of the Sierra Madres known as the Sierra Tarahumara, the Tarahumara people as of 2016 number between 50,000 and 70,000 many who still practice traditional lifestyles. Helga Teiwes took three trips to Mexico to visit the Tarahumara taking the bulk of photographs in this series on her first trip in 1971. Unlike the majority of Teiwes's photographs from other communities, many of her Tarahumara subjects are unnamed perhaps due to the language barrier, and are marked simply as "Tarahumara Woman" or "Tarahumara Man." Teiwes photographed women weaving, women cooking meals in their cave dwellings, men working the fields, as well as many landscape views between Creel and Los Mochis. In 1977 Teiwes returned to Panalachic, Mexico to photograph Tarahumara dancers. In 1978 Teiwes photographed the Tarahumara group, which included a violin maker and dancers, that came to Arizona in 1979 for the Arizona State Museum exhibit featuring Tarauhmara material culture. The majority of the photographs in this series are 6x6cm black and white negatives and 35mm color slides.

Scope and Contents:
This subseries (Subseries 4.4) includes photographs of other Hopi artists, events and miscellaneous topics. There are a small amount of photographs of Kastina doll makers since Teiwes spent a significant amount of time working with Hopi katsina doll makers for her book Kachina Dolls: The Art of Hopi Carvers. The majority of these photographs are located at the Arizona State Museum and not a part of this collection. Other artists in this series include Charles Loloma and potters Karen Abeita, Karen Charley and Rosetta Huma. Of particular note are the photographs from Maechel Saufkie's wedding in July, 1995. There are also landscape photographs from the First, Second and Antelope Mesas. The photographs range all types including black and white and color negatives as well as slides and transparencies.

These records are the official minutes of the Board. They are compiled at the direction of the Secretary of the Smithsonian, who is also secretary to the Board, after
approval by the Regents' Executive Committee and by the Regents themselves. The minutes are edited, not a verbatim account of proceedings. For reasons unknown, there are no
manuscript minutes for the period from 1857 through 1890; and researchers must rely on printed minutes published in the Annual Report of the Smithsonian Institution instead.
Minutes are transferred regularly from the Secretary's Office to the Archives. Minutes less than 15 years old are closed to researchers. Indexes exist for the period from
1907 to 1946 and can be useful.
Historical Note:
The Smithsonian Institution was created by authority of an Act of Congress approved August 10, 1846. The Act entrusted direction of the Smithsonian to a body called
the Establishment, composed of the President; the Vice President; the Chief Justice of the United States; the secretaries of State, War, Navy, Interior, and Agriculture; the
Attorney General; and the Postmaster General. In fact, however, the Establishment last met in 1877, and control of the Smithsonian has always been exercised by its Board of
Regents. The membership of the Regents consists of the Vice President and the Chief Justice of the United States; three members each of the Senate and House of Representatives;
two citizens of the District of Columbia; and seven citizens of the several states, no two from the same state. (Prior to 1970 the category of Citizen Regents not residents
of Washington consisted of four members). By custom the Chief Justice is Chancellor. The office was at first held by the Vice President. However, when Millard Fillmore succeeded
to the presidency on the death of Zachary Taylor in 1851, Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney was chosen in his stead. The office has always been filled by the Chief Justice
since that time.
