SUMMARY:Living Landscapes: Food\, Memory\, and the Sonoran Desert
DESCRIPTION:Chef and Artist Jeffrey Lazos Ferns invites you to explore Arizona’s Indigenous Foodways and the Sonoran Desert as a living archive of cultural knowledge\, focusing on how Indigenous foodways and ecological relationships have shaped Arizona communities over generations. Through stories of indigenous plants\, including the Sonoran Desert tree pantry\, Sonoran Desert cactus pantry\, and the Sonoran Desert shrub apothecary\, the presentation highlights how plant\, food\, and wildlife traditions are deeply tied to land\, identity\, and survival. Ferns connects desert ecology to themes of history\, migration\, and cultural resilience. Audiences will see Arizona’s landscapes not as passive settings but as active forces shaping community life\, offering insight into sustainable practices and cultural continuity in the face of environmental change. \nNote: This presentation will include tasting samples from the Sonoran Desert plant scape.

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

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:(Mother) Road to the Stars: Rt 66 and its Space Heritage
DESCRIPTION:Route 66 is one of the most storied roadways in North America\, known for its roadside diners\, historic hotels and kitschy attractions. But it also boasts an extraordinary space heritage; along its course lies the birthplaces of space pioneers\, centers of space exploration and discovery\, training grounds for Moon-bound astronauts\, the best-preserved asteroid impact site in the world\, site of a famous UFO sighting\, and museums celebrating these cosmic connections. In honor of the upcoming centennial of Route 66\, Lowell Observatory Historian Kevin Schindler will lead a virtual trip along the Mother Road and explore this space heritage.
