SUMMARY:The Era of the Big Bands - Buckeye
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: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.

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. Before coming to AZ\, he has been a speaker at the Maryland Humanities Council for many years.

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.

SUMMARY:Hopi Quilting Traditions - Tucson
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.

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.

SUMMARY:The Ancient Hohokam Ballgame of Arizona - Tucson
DESCRIPTION:The ancient Hohokam culture of Arizona constructed at least 200 ball courts more than 800 years ago.

SUMMARY:Specters of the Past: Arizona’s Ghost Towns - Prescott
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:Who Are the Sobaipuri O'odham? - Tucson
DESCRIPTION:Who Are the Sobaipuri O’odham?: The Sobaipuri Legacy at the San Xavier/Wa:k Community \nJanuary 13\, 2018 \n1 pm \nArizona History Museum\, Tucson \nOver the last couple of decades much has been learned about the Sobaípuri O’odham who inhabited southern Arizona’s Santa Cruz and San Pedro valleys at the dawn of written history. However\, their actual history differs substantially in many ways from commonly held notions. The archaeological and ethnohistoric research of the presenters provides new perspectives on where and how they lived\, how long they occupied the valleys of southern Arizona\, their relationship to the ancient Hohokam\, and other topics. Special reference will be made to the Sobaípuri of San Xavier del Bac (Wa:k)\, where descendant populations reside. Dr. Deni Seymour is joined by her associates\, Elder Tony Burrell and Cultural Specialist David Tenario of Wa:k\, in presenting their video entitled “Who Are the Sobaípuri O’odham?” followed by interactive lectures and discussions. Through these means they strive to promote understanding of the human experience through the eyes of the Wa:k O’odham and their ancestors. Using discussions and interviews with Wa:k O’odham community members\, the video and subsequent discussions highlight the issues of how public policy\, politics\, and economic interest have influenced our understanding of the Wa:k O’odham and how their heritage has been shaped and in some cases erased. This program is sponsored by Arizona Humanities and Old Pueblo Archaeology Center. \nThis program is supported by a grant from Arizona Humanities.
