SUMMARY:Of Water and Pathways: A Short History of A Resource - Pinetop-Lakeside
DESCRIPTION:Of Water and Pathways: A Short History of A Resource \nWater sustains life\, and has a significant role our state’s history. The myths and stories of our indigenous tribes are rich with its references. The Chemehuevi Origin tells of Ocean Woman rolling dry skin from her body to make the land.  The Hopi re-enact their journey on reed rafts hopping from island to island to the “low hot shores of the fourth world.” Immigrants trod and floated Arizona’s waterways enduring great peril. Government surveyors were sent to explore and map the Colorado River—our great western Nile; and later others to tame the wild torrents with huge dams. Dr. Craváth shares our many community’s relationships to water through story\, image and song. \nJay Cravath\, Ph.D. is a composer\, writer\, and scholar in the field of music and Indigenous studies. He crafts programs from these interests into interactive discussions that include stories\, musical performance\, illustrations\, and photography. One of his most recent publication is Iretaba: Mohave Chief and American Diplomat. Dr. Cravath released his album “Songs for Ancient Days” in 2017. \n  \nFriday\, June 22 \n3:00 – 4:30 p.m. \nPinetop-Lakeside Public Library \n1595 Johnson Dr. Lakeside\, AZ 85929 \nwww.pinetoplakesidelibrary.org/ \n(928) 368-6688 \n  \n

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Information Warfare as the New Battlespace - Eagar
DESCRIPTION:Weaponized Narrative: Information Warfare as the New Battlespace\nDr. Braden Allenby\, Arizona State University\, President’s Professor of Civil\, Environmental\, and Sustainable Engineering\, and Lincoln Professor of Engineering and Ethics \nWeaponized narrative is the latest term for information warfare\, focusing specifically on the role of new media in shaping opinion. Weaponized narratives attack the shared beliefs and values of a person or society\, and undercut culture and resiliency.  Instead of using actual bombs and bullets\, adversaries use tactics such as deceptive information initiatives to attack identity\, manipulate narratives/stories\, and manufacture emotional and psychological warfare.  What are the effects on our psychology and behavior?  How do we begin to understand the role of information warfare in social media\, news\, and marketing? Can weaponized narratives cause social polarization as destructive as actual war?  Join us for this timely FRANK Talk to discuss the impact of information warfare on civic engagement and our democratic institutions.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Talking to Each Other About Controversies Now - Pinetop-Lakeside
DESCRIPTION:Talking to Each Other About Controversies Now \nMatt Kundert\, University of Arizona\, Department of English \nCurrent social controversies reflect our nation’s complex history\, politics and values. Our views can differ sharply on whether or not America has changed for the better\, or for the worse. We can point to specific cultural and technological developments that have made it difficult to feel part of one country.  Media can shape our sense of inclusion and exclusion\, what is true and false\, what connects us and divides us. But democracy is based on hope\, the hope that we might solve our problems by talking to each other.  How should we approach each other today?  How do we balance respect for the people around us\, and our common humanity\, against suspicion and fear in the face of ideological differences?  How do we keep the conversation going about difficult political and social events? How can we listen to\, and learn from\, experiences and opinions different from our own?  Join us for a FRANK Talk exploring the skills and attitudes of citizenship and conversability.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks:  The Impact of Fake News in the Real World - Round Valley
DESCRIPTION:“Fake News”: The Impact of Fake News in the Real World\nJamie Bowen\, Arizona State University\, Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication \nAlthough not new\, our awareness and use of the term “fake news” has risen in prominence. In general “fake news” is journalism that consists of deliberate misinformation\, news whose main purpose is to distort “the truth for emotional persuasion\, seeking to drive action.”  More recently it has become a catch-all term used to discredit stories\, and in the political arena to influence the political process and elections in the U.S and abroad.  What is the impact of “fake news”?  How does “fake news” affect community conversations and civic engagement? How do we balance the benefits of free speech against the burden of propaganda? Join us for a lively FRANK Talk about “fake news\,” free speech and journalism today.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Securing the Borders and Stopping Terrorism - Prescott Valley
DESCRIPTION:Securing the Borders and Stopping Terrorism: A Constitutional Framework\nDr. T.J. Davis\, Arizona State University\, School of Historical\, Philosophical and Religious Studies \nProtecting its people is among the first priorities of any government. The Constitution’s Bill of Rights provides protections of the people from the government. How should the U.S. Constitution’s checks and balances operate in securing U.S. borders and stopping terrorism?  How do these protections turn into practical public policies that implement the government’s duty to protect its people while respecting its people’s civil liberties? What is the proper balance between the security of government protection and the civil liberties of being protected from the government?

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Racial Literacy and Social Media - Prescott Valley
DESCRIPTION:Is This Racist? Racial Literacy and Social Media\nDr. Kathy Nakagawa\, Arizona State University\, School of Social Transformation \nMany parents and educators avoid conversations about race and racism with their children and students\, yet young people are regularly exposed to images\, stories\, videos and statements that reflect racial societal attitudes. This exposure often comes through social media\, such as YouTube videos\, tweets\, Facebook posts and Tumblr blogs. Despite that exposure\, many young people are unprepared to discuss race and racism in productive ways\, and many parents and educators are unsure how to guide these discussions. So how do we develop a “racial literacy” to have these conversations? Like learning to read and write\, racial literacy equips us to talk about race and understand historical and systemic contexts of race and racism\, and it helps navigate the parallel dialogue occurring in media. Join us for a FRANK Talk about racism\, racial literacy and social media.

SUMMARY:Instruments and Music of Arizona Pioneers - Cottonwood
DESCRIPTION:Instruments and Music of Arizona’s Pioneers\nThe story of our state is not complete without music. This program will focus on the various genres of music that reflected the milieu and personalities of our various immigrants.  Using musical instruments and stories\, audience members will be presented an artistic tableau of our past: heroes\, villains\, and the immigrants who passed through and settled in Arizona. For example\, Coronado’s priests unrolled musical missal leaves during Mass to facilitate finding the seven cities of gold. The Indigenous tribes he encountered also had rich sacred and secular musical traditions. It is possible to learn much about a people from what they sang and the instruments that accompanied. \nJay Craváth\, Ph.D. is a composer\, writer\, and scholar in the field of music and Indigenous studies. Dr. Craváth crafts programs from these interests into interactive discussions that include stories\, musical performance\, and illustrations/photography. His most recent publication is: The Mohave Book for Little Ones. Dr. Craváth is the Cultural Director for the Chemehuevi Indian Tribe.

SUMMARY:The Long Walk of the Navajo People   1864-1868 - Cottonwood
DESCRIPTION:The Long Walk of the Navajo People\, 1864-1868\nIn 1864\, Navajo people were forced to walk over 450 miles to Fort Sumner in eastern New Mexico.  Imprisoned on a 40-square mile reservation for four long years the people suffered from hunger\, loneliness\, illnesses\, and severe environmental conditions. On June 1\, 1868\, U. S. officials and Navajo leaders reached an agreement\, allowing the Navajos to return to a portion of their original lands located in northeastern Arizona and northwestern New Mexico. The Long Walk has been collected in historical literature by non-Navajo authors.  Absent from the literature is the Navajo perspective.  The audience will hear the Navajo elders’ version of the Long Walk in this presentation. \nDr. Evangeline Parsons Yazzie is a Professor Emerita at Northern Arizona University.  She obtained a Masters degree in Bilingual Multicultural Education and a Doctorate in Education.  Retiring after teaching 24 years\, Evangeline became a writer of novels and short stories. She wrote a novel based upon the Navajo Long Walk and is the first of four that tell the story of a Navajo family and their struggles.  She also wrote an award winning children’s book about the Navajo Long Walk titled\, Little Woman Warrior Who Came Home. Evangeline is a Navajo woman\, originally from Hardrock on the Navajo Reservation.

SUMMARY:Sheep Ranchers and Herders of Arizona - Springerville
DESCRIPTION:Sheep Ranchers and Herders of Arizona\nAn early viable economic activity of the 1800s in Arizona has been mostly forgotten. Basque\, Canadians\, Danes among others arrived in the mid to late 1800s to graze sheep on thousands of acres practicing transhumance. Many of these men worked for other established ranchers until ultimately they gained a herd of their own. In the early 1900s the herds had grown to over one million sheep. But\, today there is less than 20\,000 sheep and only a couple of Basque families are still involved. Through personal interviews\, especially with the Basque\, and various written historical accounts\, this presentation will discuss the reasons why sheep herders came to Arizona and their contribution to the state’s history and economy. \nDr. Jaquay has a B.A degree in Anthropology\, a M.A. in Geography and a PhD. in Historical Geography.  She has traveled extensively visiting all seven continents\, over forty countries\, hiked parts of the Bhutanese Himalayas\, the Inca trail in Peru\, and walked a section of the Great Wall of China. Jaquay has visited many out-of-the way islands such as: Robinson Crusoe\, Easter\, Tahiti and the Galapagos for their archaeological\, historical and geographical mysteries. Her travels and research is compiled into a variety of presentations which she shares with students and adults in Arizona and across the country. She has published about Arizona’s Native Americans and Bed and Breakfasts in Costa Rica.

SUMMARY:Lee Wee Kwon\, Chinese Grocer in Tucson\, 1917-1965 - Prescott Valley
DESCRIPTION:Lee Wee Kwon\, Chinese Grocer in Tucson\, 1917-1965\nThe Chinese had once dominated Tucson’s grocery business. Lee Wee Kwon was among the successful Chinese grocers whose business relied on the patronage of a Hispanic clientele. Lee entered the US as a refugee from Mexican Revolution. Before he came to Tucson\, he had lived and worked in northern Mexico and spoke fluent Spanish.  His chance encounter with General Pershing won him the much coveted merchant status which enabled him to sponsor the entries of his son and nephew into America to help out with his business.  Lee’s success can also be attributed to the mutual aid network afforded to men and women of the same surname in Tucson’ s Chinese community. \nLi is the recipient of the C.L. Sonnichson Award for best article in The Journal of Arizona History in 2011. She is an East Asian Studies specialist\, historian and writer.

SUMMARY:Plants\, Inspiring the People: Reflections on Hualapai Ethnobotany of the Grand Canyon - Prescott
DESCRIPTION:Plants\, Inspiring the People: Reflections on Hualapai Ethnobotany of the Grand Canyon\nWhere lies the cure to diabetes? “Ask the prickly pear\, or the mesquite bean pod…maybe they will tell you.” This is the answer you may hear from elder instructors of the Hualapai Ethnobotany Youth Project. The ethnobotanical story of the Hualapai Tribe  begins with the plant knowledge the people have inherited from their great grandparents who lived entirely off the land. Hualapai grandchildren  live in a completely different modern world. A world of cell phones\, text messages\, and ipods.  Information presented will share about the project examining the crucial role plant resource acquisition has played in Hualapai culture; knowledge that has been fine tuned and perfected over millennia. \nCarrie Cannon is a member of the Kiowa tribe of Oklahoma and is also of Oglala Lakota descent. She has a B.S. in Wildlife Biology\, and an M.S. in Resource Management. She began working for the Hualapai Tribe of Peach Springs\, Arizona in 2005 where she began the creation of an intergenerational ethnobotany program for the Hualapai community. She is currently employed as an Ethnobotanist for the Hualapai Department of Cultural Resources. She administers a number of projects promoting the intergenerational teaching of Hualapai ethnobotanical knowledge working towards preservation and revitalization to ensure tribal ethnobotanical knowledge persists as a living practice and tradition.

SUMMARY:Rock Hounds and River Rats: The 1937 Carnegie-CalTech Grand Canyon Expedition - Prescott
DESCRIPTION:In 1937\, a group of CalTech geology professors and hardy boatmen set out in small wooden boats on a 6 week journey through the Grand Canyon to study the ancient rocks of the canyon’s Inner Gorge.  At the time\, fewer than a dozen river parties had successfully run the canyon – often with a loss of boats or crew.   Leveraging excerpts from several of the members’ trip journals – as well as original photographs and video footage – the presentation discusses the adventures\, hardships\, conflicts\, and triumphs of this important\, yet little-known\, early science expedition.  The talk also sets the expedition in the context of earlier Grand Canyon river trips and the study of the area’s geology. \nRaised in Flagstaff\, Erik Berg is an award-winning historian and writer with a special interest in the early twentieth century southwest and the impact of science and technology.  In addition to contributing to several books\, his work has appeared in the Journal of Arizona History\, Arizona Highways\, and Sedona Magazine.  A past-president of the Grand Canyon Historical Society\, Berg currently lives in Phoenix.
