Status, Distribution, and Conservation of Native Freshwater Fishes of Western North America

ABSTRACT Three native trouts occur in the southwestern United States. The Rio Grande cutthroat trout <em>Oncorhynchus clarkii virginalis</em> persists in New Mexico and southern Colorado on the Santa Fe, Carson, and Rio Grande national forests and private lands. The Gila trout <em>O. gilae</em> and the Apache trout <em>O. gilae apache</em> (also known as <em>O. apache</em>) occur in isolated headwater streams of the Gila and Little Colorado rivers on the Gila and Apache- Sitgreaves national forests and Fort Apache Indian Reservation in southwestern New Mexico and east-central Arizona, respectively. For more than two decades, intensive management has been directed at the Apache, Gila, and Rio Grande cutthroat trouts. Despite the efforts, their decades-long listed status remains unchanged for the Gila and Apache trouts, and the Rio Grande native is under consideration for listing. The objectives of this paper are to review the literature and management activities over the past quarter of a century in order to delineate why recovery and conservation have been so difficult for southwestern trout.

Few traveling between Santa Fe, New Mexico, and the Rio Grande valley realize that they are traversing one of the most significant American Indian migration and settlement corridors in the Southwest, a well-watered and fertile floodplain that served to link peoples of the southern Rocky Mountains and the San Juan River to those of the Jemez range and Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and the Rio Grande, across some 300 miles. This chapter gives an overview of Pueblo (Tiwa, Tewa, Towa, Keres, Hopi, and Zuni), Apache, Navajo, and O’odham histories, and reveals a dual process of migration and place making across a millennium. The Southwest has a high variability in seasonal precipitation, and its peoples have demonstrated creative and adaptable cultures that allowed for movement to new locations and the creation of new homelands as a crucial aspect of their survival.

The cotton sample used in the following fiber study was found in the summer of 1932, in the Canyon Creek ruin, Fort Apache Indian Reservation, in east-central Arizona. During the excavations remnants of cotton fabrics were frequently found in the rubbish, indicating that the occupants of the pueblo evidently made considerable use of the fiber. A small quantity of raw cotton, in the process of being spun into yarn, was found with an adult female buried below the floor of a room.
