Interview Archives: Jack Loeffler

A lifelong outdoorsman, Loeffler has hiked extensively, camping throughout the American West and Mexico, and has rafted many rivers. He has supported himself as a self-styled aural historian visiting and often living in native villages and academic and scientific communities conducting interviews and recording music and lore as well as diverse habitats. Using his recordings, he has produced about 400 documentary radio programs for Public Radio, and many sound collages for museums. He has written several books and scores of essays. He has donated his aural history archive to the New Mexico History Museum in Santa Fe.

We respectfully acknowledge that the entirety of southwestern New Mexico is the traditional territory, since time immemorial, of the Chis-Nde, also known as the people of the Chiricahua Apache Nation. The Chiricahua Apache Nation is recognized as a sovereign Native Nation by the United States in the Treaty of Amity, Commerce, and Friendship of 1 July 1852 (10 Stat. 979) (Treaty of Santa Fe ratified 23 March 1853 and proclaimed by President Franklin Pierce 25 March 1853).
