The public is invited to the next meeting of the San Juan Basin Archaeological Society at 7:00 PM Thursday, July 14th in the Lyceum at the Center of Southwest Studies at Fort Lewis College. Paul Berkowitz, author of “Billy Malone and the National Park Service: Investigation at Hubbell’s Trading Post”, will discuss his book, and Billy Malone, the Indian trader at issue, will discuss his life’s work. This program is being held in collaboration with the Four Corners Lecture Series, and there will be a public reception at the Center of Southwest Studies starting at 6:00 PM. This is the story of Billy Malone and the end of an era. Malone lived most of his life on the Navajo Reservation working as an Indian trader. He was the last real Indian trader to operate the historic Hubbell Trading Post. In 2004, the National Park Service began investigating Malone, alleging a long list of crimes. In 2005, Paul Berkowitz, a National Park Service criminal investigator, took over the case. His investigation uncovered serious problems with the original allegations and raised questions about the integrity of some park service employees at various levels. Paul Berkowitz, now retired, finished his career as a supervisory special agent on the Navajo Reservation. His book will be available for autographs after the lecture.
