SUMMARY:The Earliest Apache in Arizona: Evidence and Arguments - Prescott
DESCRIPTION:How did the Apache impact late prehistoric peoples? Research provides evidence of ancestral Apaches in the southern Southwest as early as A.D. 1300. Evidence comes from chronometric dates obtained from storage features (covered with grass or leaves)\, on Apache pottery\, and from roasting pits\, all in direct association with other types of Apache material culture. A continuous sequence of use from the A.D. 1300s through the late 1700s provides new insights into a western route into this region and the presence of the earliest ancestral Apache three centuries earlier than previously thought\, even in areas where Coronado did not see them. \nDr. Seymour is an internationally recognized authority on protohistoric\, Native American\, and Spanish colonial archaeology and ethno-history. For 30 years\, she has studied the Apache\, Sobaipuri O’odham\, and lesser-known mobile groups. She has excavated Spanish presidios\, numerous Kino-period missions\, and several indigenous sites. She works with indigenous groups\, tackles the Coronado and Niza expeditions\, and is reworking the history of the pre-Spanish and colonial period of the Southwest.

SUMMARY:African American Art\, Fort Huachuca\, and World War II - Oro Valley
DESCRIPTION:Fort Huachuca\, in Sierra Vista\, is the surprising site of a remarkable story of African American art during World War II. Central to the chronicle is Arizona painter Lew Davis. The base was home to two black divisions\, and Davis painted murals for the two segregated officers’ clubs. For the black officers’ club\, Davis produced something stunningly original: The Negro in America’s Wars\, which represented African American participation in the Revolution\, the War of 1812\, the Civil War\, and World War I. Davis then produced a series of morale-building posters with African American faces. Finally\, Davis helped organized an exhibition of eighty-six works by thirty-seven African American artists. Betsy Fahlman will cover the works and contributions of Arizona painter Lew Davis in this session. \nBetsy Fahlman is Professor of Art History at Arizona State University. An authority on the art history of Arizona\, her books include New Deal Art in Arizona (2009) and The Cowboy’s Dream: The Mythic Life and Art of Lon Megargee (2002). She is the author of two essays in catalogues published in 2012 by the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff: “New Women\, Southwest Culture: Arizona’s Early Art Community” (in Mary-Russell Ferrell Colton: Artist and Advocate in Early Arizona) and “Making the Cultural Desert Bloom: Arizona’s Early Women Artists” (in Arizona’s Pioneering Women Artists: Impressions of the Grand Canyon State).

SUMMARY:Cowpokes\, Crooks\, and Cactus: Arizona in the Movies - Cottonwood
DESCRIPTION:Tyrone Power\, Andy Devine\,  Katy Jurado\, Steve McQueen and\, of course\, John Wayne. From the earliest days of film\, Arizona has been a setting and subject for hundreds of films. Some\, like Junior Bonner and Red River\, are considered classics\, others\, such as Billy Jack and Evolution\, surely less so. Some may even be classics in the making\, from Tombstone to Near Dark. In this entertaining talk\, Gregory McNamee\, a frequent contributor on film to the Encyclopaedia Britannica and former columnist for the Hollywood Reporter\, looks at the Grand Canyon State on the silver screen. \nGregory McNamee is a writer\, editor\, photographer\, and publisher. He is the author of forty books and of more than five thousand articles and other publications. He is a contributing editor to the Encyclopædia Britannica\, a research fellow at the Southwest Center of the University of Arizona\, and a lecturer in the Eller School of Management\, also at the University of Arizona.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Information Warfare as the New Battlespace - Chandler
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 evolution in 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.  Adversaries use tactics such as deceptive information to attack identity\, manipulate narratives/stories\, and create emotional and psychological damage.  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?  Join us for this timely FRANK Talk to discuss the impact of information warfare on public opinion\, civic engagement   and democracy.

SUMMARY:Vintage Arizona: The Growth\, Death\, and Rebirth of a Local Wine Industry - Sedona
DESCRIPTION:Arizona’s wine industry is booming. Starting from almost nothing in the 1970s\, there are now over 50 wineries across the state and more starting every year.  Despite the youth of the current industry\, there is a long history of wine-making in Arizona dating back some 200 years. Using numerous illustrations\, this presentation traces the fascinating – and often amusing – story of Arizona wine from the Spanish Colonial period to the present.  Topics include pioneering efforts using wild grapes\, Mesa’s forgotten 19th century wine industry\, the illegal raisin wineries of the Great Depression\, and the unlikely band of aspiring winemakers that led the modern rebirth of Arizona wine in the 1980s. \nErik Berg is an award-winning historian and writer with a special interest in the early twentieth century southwest.  Raised in Flagstaff\, and a graduate of the University of Arizona\, Berg has been exploring\, hiking\, and researching the southwest for over thirty years.  In addition to contributing to several books and numerous conferences\, his work has appeared in the Journal of Arizona History\, Arizona Highways\, Astronomy\, the Journal of the Society of Commercial Archaeology\, and Sedona Magazine.  A past-president of the Grand Canyon Historical Society\, Berg currently lives in Phoenix.

SUMMARY:Set in Stone but Not in Meaning: Southwestern Indian Rock Art - Phoenix
DESCRIPTION: Ancient Indian pictographs (rock paintings) and petroglyphs (symbols carved or pecked on rocks) are claimed by some to be forms of writing for which meanings are known. However\, are such claims supported by archaeology or by Native Americans themselves? Mr. Dart illustrates southwestern petroglyphs and pictographs\, and discusses how even the same rock art symbol may be interpreted differently from popular\, scientific\, and modern Native American perspectives.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistered Professional Archaeologist Allen Dart has worked in Arizona and New Mexico since 1975. He is a state cultural resource specialist/archaeologist for the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and volunteer director of Tucson’s Old Pueblo Archaeology Center nonprofit organization\, which he founded in 1993 to provide educational and scientific programs in archaeology\, history\, and cultures. Al has received the Arizona Governor’s Award in Public Archaeology\, the Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society’s Victor R. Stoner Award\, and the Arizona Archaeological Society’s Professional Archaeologist of the Year Award for his efforts to bring archaeology and history to the public.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: The Impact of Fake News in the Real World - Sun City
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 media 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 catchall term used to discredit stories\, and in the political arena to influence the political process and elections.  With social media\, fake news can reach a large audience with little cost.  How can we tell what is fake news and what is real news? What is the impact of “fake news”?  How does “fake news” affect public opinion 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:Arizona Kicks on Route 66 - Cottonwood
DESCRIPTION:U.S. Route 66\, known as the “Mother Road\,” was built in 1926. It ran from Chicago to L. A.

Shore shares the history of Route 66 in Arizona\, including the impact it had on the state during its prime\, and what happened when the interstate ultimately bypassed some of the towns that drew life from the road. This multi-media presentation includes music\, video clips\, still photos\, and Shore’s storytelling magic. \nMarshall Shore\, Arizona’s Hip Historian. His passion is uncovering the weird\, the wonderful\, and the obscure treasures from our past: the semi-forgotten people\, places\, and events that have made us who we are today.

SUMMARY:Even Words Not Spoken Break Silence: Writing to Reclaim\, Heal & Transform - Bisbee
DESCRIPTION:Even Words Not Spoken Break Silence: Writing to Reclaim\, Heal & Transform \n4:00 p.m. Workshop \n5:30 p.m. Performance\nCopper Queen Library\n6 Main St\, Bisbee\, AZ 85603\n\nThe month of April shares a powerful duality\, recognized as National Poetry Month\, April is also a time to raise awareness around sexual assault and violence. It is fitting that the month used to honor artistic expression of word also shares space with the work to raise and uplift voices of survivors. Join spoken word artist\, Leilani Clark\, as she shares her journey using writing as a method to heal from trauma\, validate her truth and break through silence. Strategies will be explored to transition written word to spoken word and build confidence in stage performance and personal story telling. \nLeilani Clark is a native-born Tucsonan of Native (Diné/Santa Clara) and African American heritage. She is a community organizer and activist who has been involved in the Immigrant Rights Movement and fight to preserve cultural education in public AZ schools before\, during and after the 2010 signing of anti-Migrant bill\, SB 1070\, and anti-Ethnic Studies bill\, HB 2281. Leilani’s political analysis further broadened around gender equality after surviving sexual assault and an oppressive rape culture of silence and victim-blaming. In 2013 Leilani began dabbling in the art of spoken word to confront silence around gender violence in movement spaces and in 2014 she relocated to Las Vegas\, NV where she further explored the art of slam poetry. Leilani fired up the local Sin City open-mic scene\, regularly performing poetry\, music and previously co-hosting Las Vegas’s longest running weekly open-mic\, “The Human Experience.” The winds recently brought her back to her hometown and she’s been actively using the art of slam poetry to convey messages of cultural pride\, social justice\, healing and empowerment.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: The Impact of Fake News in the Real World - Huachuca City
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 media 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 catchall term used to discredit stories\, and in the political arena to influence the political process and elections.  With social media\, fake news can reach a large audience with little cost.  How can we tell what is fake news and what is real news? What is the impact of “fake news”?  How does “fake news” affect public opinion 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:Arizona Stories: Frontier Characters and Communities - Sedona
DESCRIPTION:From mammoth hunters and canal builders to Native Americans\, Hispanics\, Americans\, Irish\, Serbians\, and just about every nationality under the sun\, Arizona has always been a land of many cultures. And while the Earps and the Geronimo are world famous\, Arizona can also be proud of its unsung men and women and cooperative communities. Here we will share Arizona’s experiences from the famous to the little known\, from Native American ceremonies to mining booms\, cattle drives\, cotton harvests\, and religious settlements\, we will learn how Arizona evolved from a violent frontier to a just and civil society dedicated to its people’s welfare. \nBefore retiring from the Arizona Historical Society\, Jim Turner worked with more than 70 museums in every corner of the state. He is co-author of the 4th-grade textbook The Arizona Story\, and his pictorial history book\, Arizona: Celebration of the Grand Canyon State\, was a 2012 Southwest Books of the Year selection. Jim moved to Tucson in 1951\, earned a M.A. in U.S. history from the University of Arizona\, and has been researching and teaching Arizona history for more than 40 years. Jim is now an author/editor for Rio Nuevo Publishers\, author of The Mighty Colorado from the Glaciers of the Gulf(2016) and Crater Lake and Beyond (2017).

SUMMARY:How the Piano Keyboard Changed the World - Chino Valley
DESCRIPTION:  \nInvented in Ancient Greece\, keyboards allow an individual to play all the voices or music\, replacing an orchestra or a choir. Keyboards are such a powerfully disruptive technology that they changed the very language of music\, and allowed for some of the most beautiful music in human history to be created. Found all over the world\, the keyboard is one of the most democratizing forces in music\, allowing music to be experienced and created by all societal groups. There is a dark side\, however! The pervasiveness of keyboards has taken Western music across the globe\, often crushing indigenous music. This presentation will include musical examples from many time periods and across the planet. \nWelsh harpsichordist\, Dr. Guy Whatley\, has held many music and education positions and serves as a visiting expert. He performs thirteenth to present day music internationally. Guy has special interest in medieval keyboard music\, the keyboard music of William Byrd\, the music of J. S. Bach\, late romantic German organ music\, and contemporary organ and harpsichord music. He has commissioned and premiered many new works\, working with distinguished composers. He is a member of the teaching faculty at Arizona State University\, and serves various arts and early music organizations across the southwest. Guy Whatley is also the harpsichordist for the Grammy nominated True Concord.

SUMMARY:"Water in Arizona: Past\, Present\, Future" - Patagonia
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Paul Hirt\n“Water in Arizona: Past\, Present\, Future” with Dr. Paul Hirt\nWednesday\, April 18 – 7:00-8:30 p.m.\nPatagonia Public Library\n342 Duquesne Ave\, Patagonia\, AZ 85624 \nWater is Arizona’s most precious resource. Yet few people know where their water comes from\, who provides it\, how its quality is assured\, or how secure future water supplies are for Arizona’s 6 million residents. We face very serious water supply sustainability challenges in the coming decades as the state continues to grow and the climate becomes warmer and drier. When there is a shortage\, who has priority? Who makes these critical decisions about our water future? ASU Professor of History and Sustainability Paul Hirt takes us on a bird’s eye view of the past\, present\, and future of water in Arizona. \n
