SUMMARY:Grand Foods of the Grand Canyon State: Traditional Foods of the Tribes of the Southwest - Bullhead City
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. 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: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:Hellraising\, Heroic and Hidden Women of the Old West - Kingman
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.

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. Jim moved to Tucson in 1951\, earned a M.A. in U.S. history from the University of Arizona\, and has been researching and teaching Arizona history for more than 40 years. Jim is now an author/editor for Rio Nuevo Publishers\, author of The Mighty Colorado from the Glaciers of the Gulf(2016) and Crater Lake and Beyond (2017).

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

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 quilt-makers and as the artistic 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:Archaeology Café: Phoenix Archaeology Under the Freeways - Phoenix
DESCRIPTION:Archaeology Café – Phoenix Underground. Knowledge seekers of every kind are welcome at Archaeology Café\, where experts share their latest research on Phoenix’s deep and diverse history in a jargon-free zone. Former City Archaeologist Todd Bostwick kicks off the series with an exploration of Archaeology Under the Freeways. Learn more about what was found under the freeways we all travel daily. \nPresented by Archaeology Southwest\, a nonprofit organization working across the Southwest to explore and protect the places of our past\, Archaeology Café is an informal forum where adults can learn more about the Southwest’s deep history and speak directly to experts. At Archaeology Café\, we break down the static\, jargon-laden dynamic of traditional lectures\, and have an expert share some ideas with the group in ways that get discussion going. (Food and drink make things a little livelier\, too.) \nOver the past decades\, thanks to archaeological investigations in advance of new freeway construction\, much has been learned about Phoenix’s history and the lives of the people who lived in the Valley in the past. Dr. Todd Bostwick was involved in many of these investigations\, and he will give Café-goers a look under the freeways to learn more about what archaeologists uncovered during those excavation projects. \nMore information at: https://www.archaeologysouthwest.org/event/archaeology-cafe-phoenix-phoenix-archaeology-under-the-freeways/ \n  \nThis program is supported by a grant from Arizona Humanities.

SUMMARY:Armed with Our Language\, We Went to War:  The Navajo Code Talkers - Chino Valley
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.

SUMMARY:Dia de los Muertos: A Celebration of Life and Death - Prescott
DESCRIPTION:Dressed in a Mexican huipil with her face painted in a traditional calavera (skull)\, Elena Díaz Bjorkquist answers the questions of what Día de los Muertos is\, where it came from\, its roots\, and how it’s celebrated. Día los Muertos is a significant and highly celebrated holiday in Mexico and the Southwestern United States. Many Mexicans and Mexican Americans believe death isn’t a subject to be feared or ignored from the living. Life cannot be celebrated without celebrating death. This plática (talk) traces the origins of the Mexican festival and describes the traditional elements associated with the holiday including foods\, folk crafts\, and altars. \nElena Díaz Björkquist is a writer\, historian\, and artist from Tucson\, Arizona. She writes about Morenci where she was born. Elena is the author of two books\, Suffer Smoke and Water from the Moon and co-editor of two anthologies by her writing group: Sowing the Seeds\, Una Cosecha de Recuerdos and Our Spirit\, Our Reality: Celebrating our Stories. She is a scholar and research affiliate with SIROW at the University of Arizona. Elena is the recipient of the 2012 AHC Dan Shilling Public Humanities Scholar Award and the Arizona Commission on the Arts Bill Desmond Writing Award.

SUMMARY:Wild\, Weird\, Wicked Arizona - Surprise

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.

SUMMARY:“On the Road Again”: Don’t Forget the Small Towns! - Prescott Valley
DESCRIPTION:As the mode of transportation changed from wagons to trains to the affordable automobile and roads were built across the country\, families began a process of “leisure travel” that the automobile could provide. The “new tourist” was no longer restricted by a train’s timetable or its set route. The wide open spaces and the off-the-beaten path were theirs to explore. As roads turned into superhighways\, small town America got left behind. Working with local artistic talent and others\, communities worked to attract these tourists to their towns and/or make it inviting to potential settlers. This presentation will chronologically show communities using roadside architecture\, murals\, amusement parks\, local historic reenactments to week long festivals of folk heroes/tall tale characters\, to the longest garage sale to attract tourist. \nDr. Jaquay has a B.A degree in Anthropology\, a M.A. in Geography and a PhD. in Historical Geography. She has traveled extensively visiting all seven continents\, over forty countries\, hiked parts of the Bhutanese Himalayas\, the Inca trail in Peru\, and walked a section of the Great Wall of China. Jaquay has visited many out-of-the way islands such as: Robinson Crusoe\, Easter\, Tahiti and the Galapagos for their archaeological\, historical and geographical mysteries. Her travels and research is compiled into a variety of presentations which she shares with students and adults in Arizona and across the country. She has published about Arizona’s Native Americans and Bed and Breakfasts in Costa Rica.

SUMMARY:Adventurous Spirits: Arizona’s Women Artists\, 1900-1950 - Prescott
DESCRIPTION:Before WWII\, the resident art community of Arizona was comprised mostly of women\, and this talk explores these independent spirits. Kate Cory\, one of the first to arrive in 1905\, chronicled the Hopi mesas. Marjorie Thomas was Scottsdale’s the first resident artist. Lillian Wilhelm Smith came to the state to illustrate the works of Zane Grey. Impressionist Jessie Benton Evans’s Scottsdale villa became a social center for local artists. Mary-Russell Ferrell Colton and her husband Harold founded the Museum of Northern Arizona in 1928. The Grand Canyon parkitecture of Mary Jane Colter is also an important part of the story. \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).

Legislators\, educators and citizens cannot agree on funding\, curricula\, or testing\, to name a few\, or on why Arizona consistently ranks at the bottom nationally when it comes to education. While these issues are fundamental\, they lose sight of the most important issue\, educating Arizona’s children. Are Arizona children receiving the education they need to live\, work\, raise families and be productive members of society? Do all Arizona children have access to an education\, regardless of class\, race or geography? Is educational equity a right or a privilege? Join us for a FRANK Talk about educating Arizona children.

SUMMARY:Native in a Strange Land: The Life of Mike Burns\, Indian Scout - Green Valley
DESCRIPTION:Mike Burns lived a long life in two worlds. Born in about 1862 into the Kwevkepaya (Yavapai) people\, he was taken prisoner by U.S. soldiers after his family was massacred at a place called Skeleton Cave. He lived for years as something between a captive and a servant until joining the Indian Scouts\, riding against Sitting Bull after the Battle of Little Bighorn and Geronimo in the Apache Wars. Gregory McNamee\, the editor of Burns’s memoir The Only One Living to Tell\, recounts Burns’s life in the context of nineteenth-century Arizona history. A slide show accompanies this talk and that the host organization must provide a laptop\, projector\, and remote. \nGregory McNamee is a writer\, editor\, photographer\, and publisher. He is the author of forty books and of more than five thousand articles and other publications. He is a contributing editor to the Encyclopædia Britannica\, a research fellow at the Southwest Center of the University of Arizona\, and a lecturer in the Eller School of Management\, also at the University of Arizona.

SUMMARY:Women on the Mother Road in Arizona: Route 66 - Kingman
DESCRIPTION:Screening and Discussion of Oral Histories and Documentary Film  \nCalled the “Mother Road” by author John Steinbeck\, U.S. Route 66 stretches some 2\,400 miles from Los Angeles to Chicago\, symbolic of the mobility available to Americans\, and an iconic highway for many travelers. Yet much of the historical perspective of the highway that passes through Arizona has primarily focused on men\, often overlooking the experiences of women and girls. Please join us for a screening and conversation with project director Katrina Parks\, historians Heidi Osselaer and Olivia Charest and archivist Sean Evans who will reexamine Route 66 from a female perspective. \nFunding for this program is provided in part by a grant from Arizona Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)\, with additional support from the Mohave Museum of History and the Arts. The event is free and open to the public. For more information\, please contact Katrina Parks at katrinaparks@mac.com.
