SUMMARY:Flagstaff Pioneer John Elden:  Murder\, Mystery\, Myth and History - Lake Havasu City
DESCRIPTION:The best-known and perhaps most visited grave site in northern Arizona belongs to little Johnny Elden\, Jr. His 1887 murder remains one of the most infamous in Territorial history. Today\, Johnny rests alone in a rock-covered grave at the base of the mountain named for his father. A beautiful U.S. Forest Service interpretive panel nearby describes the awful crime. Johnny was just six years old when he was shot and killed by itinerant mule skinner Bob Roberts in a dispute over water. Although the murder has haunted Flagstaff for over a century\, did it really happen? This presentation examines the story of pioneer John Elden\, the murder of his son\, and the contribution of myth to history. \nJohn Westerlund is an independent scholar and American West historian. He was a career Army officer serving four overseas tours. He was a seasonal National Park Service ranger for 11 summers with the Flagstaff Area National Monuments. His book Arizona’s War Town: Flagstaff\, Navajo Ordnance Depot\, and World War II won several awards for preservation of Southwest culture. He published numerous articles in The Journal of Arizona History along with articles in French and U.S. defense-related journals. He has been a ‘Road Scholar’ with AZ Humanities for over a decade and is a member of the Flagstaff Corral of Westerners.

SUMMARY:You Are Where You Eat: How Dining Out Defines Arizona - Sun Lakes
DESCRIPTION:When the first dining guide to the Valley of the Sun appeared in 1978\, the authors had to explain what “sushi” was. Fast forward four decades\, and Arizonans are munching rainbow rolls in shopping-mall food courts. The restaurant business in Arizona now brings in more than $11 billion a year. With stories\, statistics and insider tidbits\, former restaurant critic Howard Seftel explores the many ways that dining out reflects our evolving culture\, as well as shapes it. He explains the rise of independent chefs\, the boom in ethnic eating\, the push for local sourcing and the growth of Arizona wines. Seftel also offers a rare inside look at the development of food criticism and the Internet’s impact. \nHoward Seftel has a unique perspective on the dining culture in Arizona. He spent 23 years as a restaurant reviewer at the Arizona Republic and Phoenix New Times – checking out some 5\,000 meals. With humor and inside details\, he gives audiences a fresh understanding of an experience we all share. \n

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: The Impact of Fake News in the Real World - Bullhead 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:FRANK Talks: Talking to Each Other About Controversies Now - Tucson
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: Rising from Invisibility:  Indigenous Arizona Women - Flagstaff
DESCRIPTION:In many Southwestern matrifocal cultures\, Indigenous women’s lives are modeled after female heroes and sacred women who exemplify and express courage and kinship values. Among some tribal cultures\, rites of passage celebrate female creativity and the transformative nature of women\, hence there was not a need for the concept of feminism. Nevertheless\, Indigenous women’s lives remain invisible and stereotyped by Hollywood. This talk presents how Indigenous women have contributed in significant ways\, not only to their tribal nations\, but also to many aspects of contemporary American life. \nLaura Tohe is Diné/Navajo.  She is Sleepy Rock clan born for the Bitter Water clan. A librettist and an award-winning poet\, she has written 3 books of poetry\, edited a book of Native American Women writing\, and the oral history book\, Code Talker Stories. Her commissioned libretto\, Enemy Slayer\, A Navajo Oratorio made its world premiere in 2008 and was performed by The Phoenix Symphony.  She is Professor with Distinction in Indigenous Literature at Arizona State University and is the Poet Laureate of the Navajo Nation for 2015-2019.

SUMMARY:Rivers of Dreams: Stories and Music of Arizona’s Waterways - Prescott
DESCRIPTION:Arizona’s rivers were first\, lush green ribbons of life through a desert landscape. They became sustaining paths\, first for the indigenous\, later for immigrants leaving wagon tracks. On the Salt River\, Hohokam built vast canals to direct water for irrigation. The first European citizens of Phoenix used these same trenches. The history\, stories and songs are shared interactively. \nJay Craváth\, 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\, and illustrations/photography. One of his most recent publication is Iretaba: Mohave Chief and American Diplomat. Dr. Craváth will begin an Arizona tour in late May of 2017 for his latest album: “Songs for Ancient Days.”

SUMMARY:Father Kino: Journey to Discovery - Phoenix
DESCRIPTION:  \nFather Kino bridged the gap between the Anglo world and the Native American through his charismatic and caring heart. He was a cartographer\, explorer\, geographer\, scientist\, and a man with a mission. Through his knowledge of agriculture\, he introduced new livestock breeds and taught animal husbandry to native groups. The new plants and fruit trees he brought to the New World introduced native groups to a variety of foods to eat and increased their ability to withstand seasonal changes. His scientific knowledge allowed him to make and share new discoveries. \nDr. Barbara Jaquay\, a historical geographer\, recently published Where Have All the Sheep Gone? : Sheepherders and Ranchers in Arizona – A Disappearing Industry\, a history of the sheep industry in Arizona. She has her Ph.D. from Texas A&M where she wrote on the Caribbean Cotton Industry.  She has traveled extensively on all seven continents and visited over 40 countries.  She has followed many of Father Kino’s journeys of discovery as she visited his missions in Arizona and Mexico.  She has published on Cuba and Costa Rica as well as Arizona Native Americans.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: The Impact of Fake News in the Real World - Chandler-Gilbert
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:Bands of Sisters: U.S. Women’s Military Bands during WW II - Goodyear
DESCRIPTION:The novelty of these bands—initially employed by the U.S. military to support bond drives—drew enough spectators for the bands to be placed on tour\, raising money for the war and boosting morale. The women\, once discharged at the war’s end\, refused to fade into post-war domesticity. Instead\, the strong bond fostered by youthful enthusiasm and the rare opportunity to serve in the military while making professional caliber music would come to last some 60 years. Based on interviews with over 70 surviving band members\, Bands of Sisters tells the tale of this remarkable period in the history of American women. \nJill M. Sullivan is an Associate Professor of Instrumental Music Education at ASU\, where she teaches instrumental methods\, assessment\, instrumental literature\, and psychology of music and research methods.  Her research agenda includes assessment practices and histories of bands. In 2011\, she published her book Bands of Sisters: Women’s Military Bands during WW II. She recently completed a second book Women’s Bands in America: Performing Music and Gender published in 2016. Prior to her seventeen-years at ASU\, she served on the music faculties of the University of Oklahoma and Augustana College.

SUMMARY:Toys and Games of the Colorado Plateau - Cottonwood
DESCRIPTION:Toys and games are as old as civilization itself and reflect the need all people have for fun and recreation. Ancient Native Americans were no exception. This presentation engages the audience with hands-on exploration of modern and ancient toys. We explore the history of familiar toys and discover some ancient toys and games that give clues to old Arizona cultures. Participants can make their own split-twig figures like those found at the Grand Canyon. \nChris and Sandy have been speaking about the land and people of the Colorado Plateau since 2012\, after completing docent training at the Museum of Northern Arizona. In-depth research and related interviews have resulted in lectures to their fellow docents\, local social and educational groups\, and at public venues such as Riordan Mansion in Flagstaff.  Some topics are presented in costumes of the time period\, and in every case with a thorough exploration of the events and personalities of the time from multiple points of view.

SUMMARY:The Earliest Apache in Arizona:  Evidence and Arguments - Springerville
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:Specters of the Past: Arizona’s Ghost Towns - Phoenix
DESCRIPTION:The promise of unimagined riches is what brought many of the earliest colonizers to the Arizona Territory. Following the trail to the discovery of the mother lode\, they built\, then dismantled and finally abandoned communities when mines played out – leaving behind tantalizing clues of difficult hardships. Some towns survived like Bisbee\, Jerome\, Tombstone and Oatman. Most disappeared\, gradually becoming absorbed back into the desert from which they arose. This presentation explores more than a decade of historian Jay Mark’s journeys to these fascinating ghost places\, along with their stories – long-forgotten places like Charleston\, Contention City\, Mowry\, Fairbank\, Gleeson and Congress. \nHistorian Jay Mark’s career includes antiques and bookstore owner\, commercial photography\, professional theater\, radio and television. He brings a lifetime of knowledge and experience to his lively and engaging presentations. A regular contributor of history-related articles to the Antique Register\, Arizona Contractor and Community\, and The Arizona Republic\, Jay is also a published writer of seven antiques-related books. He is co-author of a history of the Buckhorn Baths in Mesa. A recipient of numerous awards honoring his service to the community\, Jay remains actively engaged in issues relating to historic preservation\, history museums\, public transportation\, urban planning and public policy.

SUMMARY:Vintage Arizona: The Growth\, Death\, and Rebirth of a Local Wine Industry - Prescott Valley
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: Armed with Our Language\, We Went to War:  The Navajo Code Talkers - Phoenix
DESCRIPTION:During WWII a select group of young Navajo men enlisted in the Marines with a unique weapon. Using the Navajo language\, they devised a secret code that the enemy never deciphered.  For over 40 years a cloak of secrecy hung over the Code Talker’s service until the code was declassified and they were finally honored for their military contributions in the South Pacific by Presidents Reagan\, Bush\, and the Navajo Nation. The Code Talkers’ cultural background\, how the code was devised and used\, photos\, and how Navajo spiritual beliefs were used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) form this presentation. \nLaura Tohe is Diné/Navajo.  She is Sleepy Rock clan born for the Bitter Water clan. A librettist and an award-winning poet\, she has written 3 books of poetry\, edited a book of Native American Women writing\, and the oral history book\, Code Talker Stories.
