INVESTING IN CROW CANYON’S FUTURE
2023 LEADERSHIP
Viewers of our “Discover Archaeology” webinar series will recognize the name Calvin Wulf, who is often the first to post in the Zoom chat at the start of each weekly presentation: “Hello from Colorado Springs!” Calvin discovered the webinars during the 2020 pandemic: “I was doing research on Ute culture and stumbled across Crow Canyon,” he explained. “I signed up for a webinar and I was hooked.”
Calvin, a spiritual director for almost 20 years, along with his wife Lisa, a devotional author, are the newest members of the Crow Canyon Legacy Society. The society recognizes individuals who have included the organization in their estate plans. Calvin and Lisa have a deep interest in Native American cultural preservation and their planned gift will establish schol - arships to support Native Americans who are pursuing a higher education and who have been accepted into Crow Canyon’s College Field School or Intern program. “We want to support college-level students who are pursuing studies that can advance cultural continuity and cultural preservation among Native American tribes,” Calvin said. “I am passionately interested in the preservation of Native American culture. Lisa and I included Crow Canyon in our legacy plan hoping to encourage Indigenous students to pursue courses of study such as archaeology, anthropology, and cultural arts that will lead to the preser - vation of their cultures and traditions.”

By investing in Crow Canyon’s future with a planned gift, Calvin and Lisa hope that the organization will continue to find innovative ways to attract Native American students who will enter academic disciplines that can advance preservation of their cultures. But for today, Calvin continues to sign on to the webinars each week, and, he added with a smile, “Where else can you hear from so many experts on the archaeology of the Four Corners?”
