SUMMARY:Grounded: Creating with Land in Contemporary Native American Art
DESCRIPTION:Can we think of a 21st century Arizona through expressions of place inherent in Arizona’s Indigenous arts? In this presentation\, I focus on the representation of place that Indigenous artists in Arizona are making in their art. From jewelry\, to weaving\, to photography\, the lived landscape features prominently in Indigenous art. These expressions signify place\, culture\, tradition\, and national aspirations. As a Diné jeweler with decades of experience in Native art spaces\, I will demonstrate how the stones and materials connect us to our national homelands in Diné bikeyah and are also a representation of longstanding trade routes between tribes in the southwest. I will show how corn – represented in culture and art – is also a product of trade\, and how Diné rugs are intimately linked to the land\, including the wool and dye that comprise it. These are all examples of placemaking in Native Arizona. Ultimately\, Native space is not limited to today’s boundaries but are expressions of kinship and reciprocity to the land and non-human entities that also inhabit it. Indigenous art in Arizona confounds our understanding of Arizona. Art is not just a reflection of what is there\, but an imagined sense of what is possible. \n  \nNanibaa Beck is a 2nd generation Dine’ (Navajo) jeweler. Since 2013\, her work reflects Native creative expressions and the growth of an Dine’ ‘Asdzaa (Navajo woman) as a designer and maker. Being intricately connected to the creative process at an early age motivated Beck to become more knowledgeable about the multifaceted areas surrounding Native American Art. Her anthropology background includes work and fellowships with renowned museums\, including the Heard Museum\, the National Museum of the American Indian\, the Peabody Essex Museum and the Field Museum.

SUMMARY:The Arizona Trail: An 850-mile Mountain Bike Exploration of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Along the 850-mile Arizona Trail\, which spans the length of the state from Utah to Mexico\, diverse ecosystems showcase how climate change is actively altering life as we know it across the Southwest. During fall 2025\, The Arizona Republic newspaper’s climate reporter\, who earned a Ph.D. in ecology before becoming an award-winning journalist\, spent seven weeks traveling the full trail on her mountain bike to witness these threats\, document their impacts\, and consult with experts on solutions. Rich with photos and video from the journey as well as scientific expertise and cultural context\, this presentation takes audiences through the state’s biggest environmental challenges and opportunities\, mile by mile. From the northern forests torched by a massive fire that closed parts of Grand Canyon National Park in 2025\, to the longstanding drought causing conflict with tribes on the slopes of the San Francisco peaks\, to the energy solutions underway in the Superstition Mountains\, to the humanitarian urgency for answers illuminated at the border with Mexico – Joan Meiners’ trail journey is a scenic and dynamic window into some of Arizona’s most pressing problems\, told from the frontlines of journalistic exploration through literal living landscapes. \n \nJoan Meiners is the climate reporter for The Arizona Republic\, the state’s largest newspaper. In this role\, she has won awards for her investigations into electricity generation\, her deep-dive series on the intersection of extreme heat and housing shortages in the state\, and her commentary on how Arizonans think and approach the existential challenges of climate change. She has previously written and received recognition for her environmental work in outlets like Discover Magazine\, National Geographic and the Washington Post Magazine. Before being lured into the colorful and dynamic world of journalism\, she completed a Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Ecology and published research papers on the biodiversity of native bees. She spends most of her free time trail running\, backpacking\, or mountain biking through as many diverse landscapes and regions as she can.

SUMMARY:"Growing in the Desert: The History & Culture of the Tohono O'odham " with Jacelle Ramon-Sauberan
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION \nMany Arizonans call the Sonoran Desert and its striking landscapes home. Long before our urban centers and city lights lit up the dark desert skies\, the Tohono O’odham were cultivating and shaping the land with abundant agriculture—from squash and beans to corn and cotton. For generations they passed down their rich knowledge and culture grown from their connection to the desert. Join us for a program with Jacelle Ramon-Sauberan as she shares her knowledge about the history and culture of her people\, the Tohono O’odham. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS \nDr. Jacelle Ramon-Sauberan is Tohono O’odham and from the San Xavier District. She serves as faculty in the Tohono O’odham Studies Program at Tohono O’odham Community College. Dr. Ramon-Sauberan also serves as the Tohono O’odham Nation Education Development Liaison for Kitt Peak National Observatory.  She earned her PhD in American Indian Studies with a minor in Journalism at the University of Arizona in May 2023. Her research focused on the history of land and water in the San Xavier District and she has written for news publications across the US including Indian Country Today
