Aaron Wright explores the sacredness of cultural landscapes primarily through documentation of and consultation regarding rock imagery—petroglyphs, pictographs, ground figures, and related practices. Wright’s research is currently focused on the Hohokam and Patayan traditions across southwestern Arizona. He is specifically interested in the cultural landscape of the lower Gila River, which is renowned for a unique mixture of Patayan and Hohokam settlements, dense galleries of world-class rock imagery, and numerous enigmatic geoglyphs (ground figures). Aaron is the lead researcher on the Respect Great Bend campaign’s work to establish a Great Bend of the Gila National Monument. In that effort, Wright has collaborated on a cultural resource study of the area’s significance, as well as a cultural affiliation study outlining the ethnohistory and contemporary Tribal connections to this remarkable landscape.
