SUMMARY:The Era of the Big Bands - Florence
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:Rivers of Dreams: Stories and Music of Arizona’s Waterways - Casa Grande
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:Arizona Kicks on Route 66 - Flagstaff
DESCRIPTION:U.S. Route 66\, known as the “Mother Road\,” was built in 1926. It ran from Chicago to L. A. During the depression of the 1930s\, it became the major path by which people migrated west\, seeking work\, warm weather and new opportunities. 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.

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:Ghost Towns of the Second World War: Arizona’s Historic Military Sites - Surprise
DESCRIPTION:When America entered the Second World War\, Arizona’s sparse population and mild weather made it an ideal location for training facilities and prisoner of war camps.  By war’s end\, Arizona had trained more pilots than any other state\, hosted the country’s largest POW camp\, and was part of the largest military training grounds in history.  This presentation tells Arizona’s war-time role by focusing on the stories of those WWII sites in Arizona that still have significant remaining features from the war period.  Includes many photographs and first-hand accounts. \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:Where Biography Meets Historical Fiction: Sedona Schnebly - Bisbee
DESCRIPTION:Since doing the first interview with one of Sedona’s daughters\, 35 years passed before the final page of this biography was written. This is the journal her great-granddaughter wishes she had found in the family archives. Hear passages from the manuscript and how family stories were handled; as well as the cultural and family research process that plays a part in crafting a historically accurate biography. \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:FRANK Talks:  Information Warfare as the New Battlespace - Coolidge
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:Hellraising\, Heroic and Hidden Women of the Old West - Phoenix
DESCRIPTION:Although history tries to tell us ONLY men settled the Old West\, that is shattered by Jana’s verbal tour through some of the amazing women who made all the difference. Any woman who came West in the 1800s had to be full of grit and spit to survive and Jana has collected the stories of dozens of women who prove it. Ever heard of Donaldina Cameron or Biddy Mason? Sharlot Hall or Pearl Hart—Arizona’s infamous stagecoach robber? Jana reveals the contributions of women like Lozen\, the Apache warrior considered the “Joan of Arc” of her people\, and Terrisita\, the most famous Mexican woman in the nation at the turn of the century. Meeting these women\, you will never think of the Old West the same again! \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:FRANK Talks: The Impact of Fake News in the Real World - Maricopa
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:African American Art\, Fort Huachuca\, and World War II - Patagonia
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:Who Are the Sobaipuri O'odham? - Tucson
DESCRIPTION:Who Are the Sobaipuri O’odham?: The Sobaipuri Legacy at the San Xavier/Wa:k Community \nNovember 16\, 2017 \nOld Pueblo Archaeology Center’s Third Thursday Food for Thought. \nLocation: U-Like Oriental Buffet Restaurant \n5101 N. Oracle Road (at River Road)\, Tucson \n6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu) \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. \nMore information at: http://www.oldpueblo.org/event/third-thursday-food-for-thought-8/ \nThis program is supported by a grant from Arizona Humanities.

SUMMARY:Plants\, Inspiring the People: Reflections on Hualapai Ethnobotany of the Grand Canyon - Lake Havasu
DESCRIPTION:Where lies the cure to diabetes? “Ask the prickly pear\, or the mesquite bean pod…maybe they will tell you.” This is the answer you may hear from elder instructors of the Hualapai Ethnobotany Youth Project. The ethnobotanical story of the Hualapai Tribe begins with the plant knowledge the people have inherited from their great grandparents who lived entirely off the land. Hualapai grandchildren live in a completely different modern world. A world of cell phones\, text messages\, and iPods. The information presented will share about the project examining the crucial role that plant resource acquisition has played in Hualapai culture\, knowledge fine-tuned and perfected over millennia. \nCarrie Cannon is a member of the Kiowa tribe of Oklahoma and is also of Oglala Lakota descent. She has a B.S. in Wildlife Biology\, and an M.S. in Resource Management. She began working for the Hualapai Tribe of Peach Springs\, Arizona in 2005 where she began the creation of an intergenerational ethnobotany program for the Hualapai community.  She is currently employed as an Ethnobotanist for the Hualapai Department of Cultural Resources. She administers a number of projects promoting the intergenerational teaching of Hualapai ethnobotanical knowledge working towards preservation and revitalization to ensure tribal ethnobotanical knowledge persists as a living practice and tradition.

SUMMARY:Legacies of the Past: Arizona Women Who Made History - Green Valley
DESCRIPTION:From artists and healers\, teachers and entrepreneurs\, women who plowed the land and those who were instrumental in establishing laws for the new territory of Arizona. Many early Arizona women became known for their fortitude in the face of adversity\, their confrontation of extraordinary and sometimes dangerous situations\, their adventuresome spirits\, and their dedication to improving the lives of others. Some of these women gained a degree of celebrity across the state\, within their communities\, and throughout their tribal regions\, while others remained relatively unknown. This PowerPoint program details the lives of remarkable Arizona women who had an impact on the territory and the state. \nAward-winning author\, historian\, and lecturer Jan Cleere writes extensively about the Southwest desert\, particularly about the people who first settled the territory. She graduated from ASU with a degree in American Studies and is the author of five historical nonfiction books about the people who first settled in the Southwest desert. She lectures around the state about early pioneers who were instrumental in settling and civilizing the territory of Arizona. Jan writes a monthly column for Tucson’s Arizona Daily Star\, “Western Women\,” detailing the lives of some of Arizona’s early amazing women. Her freelance work appears in national and regional publications.

SUMMARY:Rivers of Dreams: Stories and Music of Arizona’s Waterways - Parker
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:Grand Foods of the Grand Canyon State: Traditional Foods of the Tribes of the Southwest - Waddell
DESCRIPTION:The ethnobotanical story of the Southwest begins with the plant knowledge the people have inherited from their ancestors who lived entirely off the land. The nutritional values of many wild foods are only recently gaining attention of western dietitians.  These foods however\, have long been known by local Tribes for their nutritional and medicinal value.  So called “superfoods” are those foods which contain high amounts of phytonutrients and antioxidants.  Such foods can in some cases reduce the risk of chronic disease.  This talk will examine several key traditional foods utilized by Southwestern Tribes – foods that have been utilized by the Tribal people for centuries. \nCarrie Cannon is a member of the Kiowa tribe of Oklahoma and is also of Oglala Lakota descent.

SUMMARY:Hi Jolly and Mystery of the US Army Camel Corps - Lake Havasu
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:You Are Where You Eat: How Dining Out Defines Arizona - Wickenburg
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.

SUMMARY:From Sun Rise to Meteor Falls: Cultural Astronomy of the Prehistoric Southwest - Casa Grande
DESCRIPTION:Throughout history\, the ability of a people to survive and thrive has been tied to environmental conditions. The skill to predict the climatic change of the seasons was an essential element in the ability to “control” those conditions. Seasonal calendars thus became the foundation of early cultures: hunting and gathering\, planting and harvesting\, worshiping and celebrating were activities dictated by specific times of the year. In addition\, celestial events such as eclipses and falling stars would have profound effects on belief systems. \nKenneth Zoll is the Executive Director of the Verde Valley Archaeology Center in Camp Verde. He is also a volunteer docent at cultural heritage sites in the Coconino National Forest. He has conducted extensive fieldwork in cultural astronomy of the Southwest and is a certified instructor in cultural astronomy with the Arizona Archaeological Society. He is currently working with Arizona State University’s Center for Meteorite Studies on the use of meteorites among ancient Southwest cultures. Zoll is the author of several popular books on cultural astronomy and rock art in Central Arizona\, as well as several cultural astronomy articles in professional publications.

SUMMARY:Wrangling 1500 Wild Mustangs: Insights into the Wild Horse Controversy - Kingman
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. \nBuilding 200 – Room 240

SUMMARY:Arizona’s Wild Myths and Legends - Casa Grande
DESCRIPTION:Wyatt Earp\, Billy the Kid and John Wayne: what do these famous characters have in common? They are not who we think they are because of the legends that have grown up around them. From the 1860’s dime novels to the books\, movies\, and television shows\, writers have altered\, exaggerated and sometimes lied about these folk heroes.  In “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance\,” the editor says\, “When the legend becomes fact\, print the legend.” We will examine how the legends grew and how they impact how we view the past\, act in the present\, and build the future. \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.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Information Warfare as the New Battlespace - Glendale
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:Wild\, Weird\, Wicked Arizona - Florence
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.
