SUMMARY:Wild\, Weird\, Wicked Arizona - Tucson
DESCRIPTION:For a state that has been home to Geronimo\, Wyatt Earp\, César Chavez and Wonder Women\, you would think Arizona earned some respect. Yet achieving statehood was a 50-year struggle\, which finally ended on February 14\, 1912. Jana borrows from both her work for True West Magazine and her work for Phoenix Magazine to put the 48th state into perspective. She shares some of the secrets prissy folks would rather forget. You will learn why this small state has had an inordinate influence on American politics\, and why\, no matter what outrageous thing happens anywhere in the world\, there is bound to be an Arizona connection. This wicked\, weird and wild romp through Arizona’s colorful history will shock\, delight\, inform\, tickle and leave you wanting to learn more! \nJana Bommersbach is one of Arizona’s most honored and respected journalists.  She has won accolades in every facet of her career—investigative reporter\, magazine columnist\, television commentator and author of nationally acclaimed books. She currently writes for True West magazine\, digging up the true stories behind the popular myths\, with an emphasis on Arizona’s real history and women of the Old West. Her insight\, knowledge and wit produce exuberant\, riveting speeches that always garner rave reviews.

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:Arizona Outlaws and the Law - Phoenix
DESCRIPTION:Taking the events from Billy the Kid\, who killed his first man in Arizona\, the Gunfight at the OK Corral\, and the arrest and trial of Ernesto Miranda\, this presentation will explore how these seminal events became watershed experiences for the American legal system\, and still impact the lives of individuals living in the United States today. This presentation will explore the development of the legal system and law enforcement in the Southwest beginning with frontier justice and finishing with our current legal system\, which continues to evolve and grow. \nCasey has been an educator for 15 years and a writer for much longer.  He has presented previously for Arizona Humanities\, as well as for regional\, state\, and national conferences on a variety of topics. A storyteller at heart\, Casey enjoys sharing with an audience.

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. 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:Cochise and Bascom\, How the Apache Wars Began - Casa Grande
DESCRIPTION:In 1861\, Lieutenant George Bascom confronted Chiricahua Apache leader Cochise demanding the return of the abducted boy\, Felix Ward (aka Mickey Free). The epic 14-day affair\, 70 soldiers surrounded by 500 Apaches rescued by the timely intervention of the cavalry\, ended in blood with hostages slain on both sides. Congress recognized Dr. Bernard Irwin\, who rode with 12 men to relieve the beleaguered soldiers\, with the first Medal of Honor. Historians have come to credit Bascom with starting a war. This talk explores the circumstances that led to the confrontation and how blame came to rest on the lieutenant. \nDoug Hocking is an independent scholar who has completed advanced studies in American history\, ethnology\, and historical archaeology. In 2015\, he won the Philip A. Danielson Award for Best Presentation. Doug\, who served in Military Intelligence and retired as an armored cavalry officer\, grew up among the Jicarilla Apache and paisanos of the Rio Arriba. Doug writes both fiction and history. His work has appeared in True West\, Wild West\, Buckskin Bulletin\, Roundup Magazine\, and the Journal of Arizona History. Doug on the board of the Arizona Historical Society\, Cochise County Historical Society\, the Oregon-California Trails Association\, and Westerners International.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Immigrants and the American Dream - Anthem
DESCRIPTION:Immigrants and the American Dream: We the People Today and Tomorrow\nDr. T.J. Davis\, Arizona State University\, School of Historical\, Philosophical and Religious Studies \nThe United States of America has long touted itself as the land of immigrants\, and is demographically more diverse than at any time in our nation’s history. Yet the source and substance of immigration have been topics of continuous debate. How do domestic conditions\, regional competition\, geopolitics\, and foreign policy affect immigration today? Who can become an American citizen and who cannot? How does a nation founded by immigrants\, direct access to the U.S. for immigrants today?  How do immigrants impact America’s social and economic vitality?   Join us for a Frank Talk to ponder the question\, what does it mean to be an American.

SUMMARY:Life on the Lazy B as Lived by an American Cowboy and Rancher - Payson
DESCRIPTION:In 1880\, Alan Day’s grandfather homesteaded the Lazy B ranch.  This dusty dry tract of land produced a Supreme Court Justice\, a lauded Arizona state senator\, and a career rancher\, cowboy\, and land conservationist. Alan explores the ranching and cowboying life from the chuck wagon years of his childhood\, through his adult years of increasing bureaucracy\, airplanes\, computers and now even drones. At the heart of his stories lie adventures that most of us will never experience\, as well as a deep love of the natural world. \nIf it is possible to say someone can be born a cowboy\, then Alan Day was born one. He was the third generation to grow up on the 200\,000-acre Lazy B cattle ranch straddling the high deserts of southern Arizona and New Mexico. After graduating from the University of Arizona\, Alan returned to manage Lazy B for the next 40 years\, during which time he received awards for his dedication to land stewardship. In addition to co-authoring with his sister\, Sandra Day O’Connor\, the New York Times bestselling memoir Lazy B\, Alan also is the author of The Horse Lover: A Cowboy’s Quest to Save the Wild Mustangs and Cowboy Up: Life Lessons from Lazy B.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Information Warfare as the New Battlespace - Paradise Valley
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:Landscapes of Migration in the Arizona-Sonora Borderland - Arivaca
DESCRIPTION:The dividing line of the U.S.-Mexico border may be the most significant feature of the Arizona-Sonora borderland today\, but the region is also at the center of major north-south corridors of human migration. In this talk\, Scott warren offers an in-depth look at historical and contemporary patterns of south-north migration through this region\, from ancient Hohokam trade routes\, to Spanish colonizers\, to contemporary migrants—both documented and undocumented. While in some cases migration routes and patterns have changed over time\, in other cases they have largely stayed the same. This talk is intended to increase awareness of Arizona’s south-north connections and how they shape our cultural landscape. \nScott Warren is a cultural geographer and Lecturer in the School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning at Arizona State University who lives in Ajo\, Arizona. As an academic geographer\, he researches and teaches about the intersection of people and place at the Mexico-U.S. border. He works to bring the experiences of the Arizona-Sonora borderlands into his classrooms\, while at the same time getting his students out of the classroom and into the Arizona-Sonora borderlands.

SUMMARY:Celebrities\, Artists…and Good Places to Drink - Prescott
DESCRIPTION:Arizona has always been a geographical muse for writers\, artists and composers\, as well as a getaway for the rich and famous.  In this talk\, learn about some of the people who have had adventures\, weddings and unusual experiences here\, while also learning about some of the places they lifted a glass\, and why you might want to follow their example. \nDuring 35 years in newspaper\, magazine and broadcasting\, Lisa Schnebly Heidinger discovered that “journalism is history on the fly\,” and that the past informs the present.  She has honed the craft of sussing out and sharing stories in newspaper\, radio\, television\, magazines\, editorial columns and books. Lisa went into a drug tunnel\, had dinner with polygamist families\, walked through plane crash debris and interviewed death row inmates before taking on the truly risky pursuit of raising a family. She shares the red-setter gene with her father\, which means jumping into an open car door regardless of the destination.

SUMMARY:The Earliest Apache in Arizona: Evidence and Arguments - Phoenix
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:“The Women on the Mother Road in Arizona” - Scottsdale
DESCRIPTION:Katrina Parks and Arizona Humanities are pleased to announce a presentation of: \n“The Women on the Mother Road in Arizona” \na Route 66 screening and discussion program \nSpecial Guest: Arizona State Historian Marshall Trimble  \nThursday\, March 15th at 6:00 PM \nScottsdale Public Library\, Civic Center Auditorium \n3839 N. Drinkwater Blvd.  Scottsdale\, AZ \nFree and open to the public \nSponsored by Arizona Humanities and the Scottsdale Public Library \nRoute 66\, or the Mother Road as John Steinbeck called it\, has struck a chord with Americans and an ever-growing international audience since its inception in 1926\, offering economic opportunity\, adventure\, as well as providing a gateway to the West. However\, the narrative of the road\, as conveyed by popular culture and historical works\, has overlooked the experiences of women and girls. Documentary filmmaker Katrina Parks is capturing the oral histories of the women who worked and lived along Route 66 before those memories fade away. \nInterviews\, photographs\, and links to archival sources for this project can be found on the website developed by Katrina Parks\, “The Women on the Mother Road\,” \nhttp://www.route66women.com \nThe presentation will include the screening of clips of interviews and slides from Katrina Parks’ ongoing documentary film project: “The Women on the Mother Road” and a panel discussion with documentarian Parks and Arizona women’s historian Heidi Osselaer. Parks will share insights garnered from archival research\, filming oral histories\, editing interview segments\, designing a website\, and working with museums and other associations interested in exploring Route 66 from a new feminist angle. Dr. Osselaer has conducted extensive research in the field of female politicians and businesswomen which she will apply to the experiences of women on Route 66. Both panelists will explore the mythology\, nostalgia\, and authenticity surrounding the Mother Road\, and will explain why this iconic highway maintains its mystique so many years after it was decommissioned. \nThis program is supported by a grant from Arizona Humanities.

SUMMARY:Rivers of Dreams: Stories and Music of Arizona’s Waterways - Lake Havasu City
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:Specters of the Past: Arizona’s Ghost Towns - Florence
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: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:Women of the Arizona State Prison - Lake Havasu City
DESCRIPTION:Winnie Ruth Judd\, Eva Dugan\, Dr. Rose Boido\, and Eva Wilbur Cruz all shared one thing in common. They were all incarcerated at the Arizona State Prison in Florence. These women were players in both the sensational stories that made national headlines and local stories that made Arizona history. Who were these women and how did they end up in the Florence prison? How did their stories impact Arizona? Through the use of photographs\, prison records and newspaper articles\, their particular stories are told against the background of women in the Arizona prison system in general\, covering the transition from the Yuma Territorial prison to Florence to the women on death row currently. \nChristine Reid is intrigued by Arizona’s diverse and rich western heritage as a writer and researcher at the Pinal County Historical Society and Community Scholar for the ASU Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. She continues that deep interest while serving on many of the town of Florence’s heritage projects and agencies. Committed to sharing history in a lively manner\, she presents the sometimes hidden or forgotten aspects of Arizona’s characters and history.
