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. 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:“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).

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Educational equity in Arizona - Paradise Valley
DESCRIPTION:Educational equity in Arizona: A radical idea\, or a necessary goal?\nDr. Angelina Castagno\, Northern Arizona University\, Educational Foundations \nEducation is a hot topic in Arizona. 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:The Explorations and Discoveries of George Bird Grinnell\, The Father of Glacier National Park - Queen Park
DESCRIPTION:The great West that George Bird Grinnell first encountered in 1870 as a 21-year old man was shortly to disappear before his eyes. Nobody was quicker to sense the desecration or was more eloquent in crusading against the poachers\, the hidehunters\, and the disengaged U.S. Congress than George Bird Grinnell\, the “Father of American Conservation.” Grinnell founded the first Audubon Society\, cofounded the Boone and Crockett Club with Teddy Roosevelt\, and led the effort to establish Glacier National Park. Audiences will travel back in time to the 19th century\, listening to Grinnell’s own words as taken from his field journals\, memoirs\, personal correspondence\, and newspaper editorials. \nHugh Grinnell received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from The University of Arizona. Since his retirement in 2004\, Grinnell has studied the history of the great American West. After discovering an old Great Northern Railway (GNR) passenger car named “Grinnell Glacier\,” he researched the car’s name\, and learned that the glacier was named in honor of the efforts of George Bird Grinnell\, a distant cousin of Grinnell’s who was a naturalist and explorer. He continues to carry on his research of George Bird Grinnell and the Grinnell family\, writing articles and producing DVDs. In addition to presenting throughout the state of Arizona\, Grinnell was invited by Humanities Montana to present on George Bird Grinnell and his place in Montana history and in 2010\, he presented “Saving the Great American West” for the 100th anniversary of the establishment of Glacier National Park\, held in Glacier National Park.

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:FRANK Talks: Racial Literacy and Social Media - Paradise Valley
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.
