SUMMARY:Hi Jolly and Mystery of the US Army Camel Corps - Apache Junction
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will explore the US Army’s experiment with using camel from the Middle East to make it more mobile in the newly acquired Southwest.  In order to teach the soldiers about camels\, a local from the Middle East\, who was called Hi Jolly\, was shipped over with the camels.  Even though Secretary of War Jefferson Davis desperately wanted the Camel Corps to be successful\, the experiment was a failure.  Find out what happened to the camels and their minder\, Hi Jolly\, with the conclusion of this experiment. \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:Arizona Goes to the Moon - Chino Valley
DESCRIPTION:Arizona played a key role in preparing to send humans to the moon in the late 1960s/early 1970s. The Apollo astronauts themselves traveled to the Grand Canyon and volcanic fields around the state to learn geology and practice their lunar excursions. Meanwhile\, U.S. Geological Survey engineers worked with NASA staff members to develop and test instruments while artists joined forces with scientists to create detailed maps of the moon that were critical to navigating around lunar surface. \nKevin Schindler is an award-winning educator and writer who has worked for more than 20 years at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff. He was sheriff of the Flagstaff Corral of Westerners for 14 years and a board member of the Flagstaff Festival of Science for 16 years. Combining a dual passion for history and science\, he has presented hundreds of educational programs\, authored four books\, written more than 400 magazine and newspaper articles\, and contributes a bi-weekly astronomy column for the Arizona Daily Sun.

SUMMARY:African American Art\, Fort Huachuca\, and World War II - Sedona
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\, representing 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. \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:Set in Stone but Not in Meaning: Southwestern Indian Rock Art - Sedona
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. \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:The Era of the Big Bands - Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:The Big Band era\, 1930s and 1940s\, came during turmoil in the United States with Prohibition\, the Depression and World War II. People were anxious to temporarily forget their troubles and the insurgence of the Big Bands gave them that outlet. For many\, dancing and romancing to the bands were some of the happiest moments of their youth\, and this music brings back those memories\, both to those who lived through the era and now their children who grew up listening to their parents’ music. Erik brings original recordings of the bests of the bands and vocalists and when playing them\, encourage my audiences to ask questions\, identify the performers and share stories in an interactive environment. \nErik Larson earned a B. A. degree from San Diego State University in 1962 and served with Boys Clubs Of America (now Boys & Girls Clubs) for 30 years as the director of five different Clubs throughout the Midwest and California. While in Aberdeen\, South Dakota and Des Moines\, Iowa he received a national awards for creating outreach programs designed to help youth from single parent or otherwise disadvantaged families. Eventually he was asked to join the National Staff as a management consultant to individual Club staffs and boards of directors. For nearly two decades\, he has been a volunteer docent at Riordan Mansion State Historic Park in Flagstaff.

SUMMARY:Hopi Quilting Traditions - Phoenix
DESCRIPTION:For centuries\, Hopi men grew cotton and wove the fibers into blankets and clothing. In the 1880s\, with the arrival of Anglo missionaries and government officials\, quilting was introduced to the Hopi people and it quickly became integrated into Hopi culture and ceremony with quilts being used in every Hopi household. Hopis today are 4th and 5th generation quiltmakers and as the atistic traditions of two cultures are blended\, it is not uncommon to see a quilt with a traditional Anglo pattern and an ancient Hopi image\, such as a kachina or a clan motif. This presentation includes a trunk show of Hopi quilts. \nCarolyn O’Bagy Davis\, a fourth-generation descendant of Utah pioneers\, is the author of 14 books on archaeology\, quilting and the history of the Southwest. Her book Hopi Summer was selected for OneBook Arizona for 2011 and Desert Trader was named one of the Best Books of the Southwest in 2012. She was founding president of the Tucson Quilters Guild and Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and is an inducted member of the Society of Women Geographers and the Arizona Quilters Hall of Fame. Davis has appeared on HGTV\, PBS\, and Lifetime television programs and has curated many traveling museum exhibits.

SUMMARY:Dauntless Courage and Boundless Ambition: The Life of Buckey O’Neill - Prescott
DESCRIPTION:Buckey O’Neill was one of Arizona’s legendary pioneers\, even author William MacLeod Raine called him “the most many-sided man Arizona has produced”.

He was sheriff of the Flagstaff Corral of Westerners for 14 years and a board member of the Flagstaff Festival of Science for 16 years. Combining a dual passion for history and science\, he has presented hundreds of educational programs\, authored four books\, written more than 400 magazine and newspaper articles\, and contributes a bi-weekly astronomy column for the Arizona Daily Sun.

SUMMARY:Wrangling 1500 Wild Mustangs: Insights into the Wild Horse Controversy - Parker
DESCRIPTION:In 1989\, Alan Day lobbied the United States Congress and was granted approval to create our country’s first government-sponsored wild horse sanctuary on his South Dakota ranch. At the time\, the government housed roughly 2\,000 horses in feedlots. Fifteen hundred of those wild mustangs came to live at Mustang Meadows Ranch where\, for four years\, Alan trained and cared for them. Today\, the Bureau of Land Management holds over 60\,000 wild mustangs in feedlots\, and the number keeps growing. Why are so many of these esteemed animals in captivity?   Alan Day will share his experiences with the wild horses\, as well as his insights into the present controversy surrounding these icons of the West. \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:Along the California Trail - Oro Valley
DESCRIPTION:An ancient set of Indian paths and the natural flow of the Gila River created a major artery for travel through pioneer Arizona. The Gila provided a route for the earliest traders\, including Toltecs of Mexico\, who traded with the Anasazi and Hohokam. The intrepid Padre Francisco Garces\, performed missionary work during six excursions along the trail. U.S. surveying expeditions\, immigrants—such as the ill-fated Oatman family—and seekers of the California gold fields join the list. The journals\, stories\, songs and art that came from these travels is rich and revealing of our state’s pioneers. These stories are shared through images\, music and stories. \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:Ancient Southwestern Native American Pottery - Phoenix
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, Mr. Dart shows and discusses Native American ceramic styles that characterized specific peoples and eras in the U.S. Southwest prior to about 1450\, and talks about how archaeologists use pottery for dating archaeological sites and interpreting ancient lifeways. He discusses the importance of context in archaeology\, such as how things people make change in style over time and how different styles are useful in identifying different cultures and dating archaeological sites. His many illustrations include examples of ancient pottery types made throughout the American Southwest from about 2\,000 to 500 years ago. \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: Information Warfare as the New Battlespace  - Ajo
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:The U.S. Constitution: What It Says and How It Works - Tucson
DESCRIPTION:Most Americans think they know what the Constitution says but few have actually examined it. Here is an opportunity to review the concepts and composition of the document that functions as the legal foundation and framework of the nation. The Constitution provides principles for federal relations with the nation’s constituent states\, citizens\, and inhabitants. It has deployed a constitutional system called federalism. Its hallmarks have featured dual sovereignty\, delegated and reserved powers\, and guarantees of personal civil liberties and rights. \nThomas J. Davis teaches U.S. constitutional and legal history at ASU and has taught as a visiting professor of law at the ASU College of Law. As an historian and lawyer\, in addition to constitutional matters he focuses on civil rights (particularly on issues of race\, identity and law)\, employment\, and property law. He received his Ph.D. in U.S. history from Columbia University and his JD cum laude from the University at Buffalo Law School. He is the author most recently of History of African Americans: Exploring Diverse Roots (Santa Barbara CA\, 2016).

SUMMARY:Hopi Quilting Traditions - Casa Grande
DESCRIPTION:For centuries\, Hopi men grew cotton and wove the fibers into blankets and clothing. In the 1880s\, with the arrival of Anglo missionaries and government officials\, quilting was introduced to the Hopi people and it quickly became integrated into Hopi culture and ceremony with quilts being used in every Hopi household. Hopis today are 4th and 5th generation quiltmakers and as the atistic traditions of two cultures are blended\, it is not uncommon to see a quilt with a traditional Anglo pattern and an ancient Hopi image\, such as a kachina or a clan motif. This presentation includes a trunk show of Hopi quilts. \nCarolyn O’Bagy Davis\, a fourth-generation descendant of Utah pioneers\, is the author of 14 books on archaeology\, quilting and the history of the Southwest. Her book Hopi Summer was selected for OneBook Arizona for 2011 and Desert Trader was named one of the Best Books of the Southwest in 2012. She was founding president of the Tucson Quilters Guild and Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and is an inducted member of the Society of Women Geographers and the Arizona Quilters Hall of Fame. Davis has appeared on HGTV\, PBS\, and Lifetime television programs and has curated many traveling museum exhibits.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Racial Literacy and Social Media - Florence
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\, Instagram\, Snapchat\, and blogs. Despite this exposure\, many young people are unprepared to discuss race and racism in productive ways. 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 can help us understand the historical and systemic contexts of race and racism in America. Join us for a FRANK Talk about race\, racism\, racial literacy and social media in today’s world.

SUMMARY:Understanding Fundamentalism in the World Religions - Lake Havasu City
DESCRIPTION:Whatever we think about fundamentalism\, it is a very dynamic religious movement that attracts men and women alike. What are the features of religious fundamentalism in the traditions of Abrahamic religions? This presentation is about neither the “right” or “wrong” of fundamentalism\, nor about “right” or “wrong” of particular religious traditions. We learn why fundamentalism emerged in the beginning of the 20th century\, what characteristics fundamentalist religious traditions share and how they differ from each other. \nBjörn Krondorfer\, Director of the Martin-Springer Institute at NAU and Endowed Professor of Religious Studies in Department of Comparative Cultural Studies. Field of expertise: religion\, gender\, culture\, (post-) Holocaust studies\, Western religions\, religion\, violence\, and reconciliation. He has been invited to speak\, present his research\, and facilitate intercultural encounters in South Africa\, Australia\, South Korea\, Finland\, Poland\, United Kingdom\, The Netherlands\, Italy\, Germany\, Israel/Palestine\, Germany\, Switzerland\, Austria\, Canada\, and Bosnia-Herzegovina.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Parenting & Conversations on Reproductive Health - Chandler
DESCRIPTION:Parenting & Conversations on Reproductive Health\nDr. Kathy Nakagawa\, Arizona State University\, School of Social Transformation \nOur roles as parents encompass caring for our children through all aspects of development\, but we often falter when it comes to talking about sex and sexuality. For our daughters\, in particular\, having healthy attitudes about sex can promote equitable relationships\, foster more positive body images\, and nurture thoughtful choices regarding intimacy.  Cultural and social values in our country can directly impact conversations about sex and intimacy. What happens when parents and children can’t talk about sex and sexuality? Who has access to reliable and accurate information about sex\, sexuality and reproduction\, and who does not? How can parents have better conversations with their children about sexuality? Join us for a FRANK Talk about parenting\, sexuality and reproductive health.

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 both for protection of the people\, but also protects against undue intrusion by the government. How should the U.S. Constitution’s system of checks and balances operate in securing U.S. borders and stopping terrorism? Who poses a danger to U.S. security and safety\, and what do we do about it?  What public policies can be implemented to fulfill the government’s competing duties to protect people\, and simultaneously respect civil liberties?  Join us for a Frank Talk examining national security and civil liberties at the border.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: The Impact of Fake News in the Real World
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:Rising from Invisibility:  Indigenous Arizona Women - Patagonia
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.
