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.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: The Impact of Fake News in the Real World - Tempe
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:Landscapes of Migration in the Arizona-Sonora Borderland - Tucson
DESCRIPTION:The dividing line of the U.S.-Mexico border may be the most significant feature of the Arizona-Sonora borderland today\, but the region is also at the center of major north-south corridors of human migration. In this talk\, Scott warren offers an in-depth look at historical and contemporary patterns of south-north migration through this region\, from ancient Hohokam trade routes\, to Spanish colonizers\, to contemporary migrants—both documented and undocumented. While in some cases migration routes and patterns have changed over time\, in other cases they have largely stayed the same. This talk is intended to increase awareness of Arizona’s south-north connections and how they shape our cultural landscape. \nScott Warren is a cultural geographer and Lecturer in the School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning at Arizona State University who lives in Ajo\, Arizona. As an academic geographer\, he researches and teaches about the intersection of people and place at the Mexico-U.S. border. He works to bring the experiences of the Arizona-Sonora borderlands into his classrooms\, while at the same time getting his students out of the classroom and into the Arizona-Sonora borderlands.

SUMMARY:Specters of the Past: Arizona’s Ghost Towns - Tucson
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:Wrangling 1500 Wild Mustangs: Insights into the Wild Horse Controversy - Casa Grande
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:Ancient Southwestern Native American Pottery - Queen creek
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: Racial Literacy and Social Media - Glendale
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:Flagstaff Pioneer John Elden:  Murder\, Mystery\, Myth and History - Sedona
DESCRIPTION:The best-known and perhaps most visited grave site in northern Arizona belongs to little Johnny Elden\, Jr. His 1887 murder remains one of the most infamous in Territorial history. Today\, Johnny rests alone in a rock-covered grave at the base of the mountain named for his father. A beautiful U.S. Forest Service interpretive panel nearby describes the awful crime. Johnny was just six years old when he was shot and killed by itinerant mule skinner Bob Roberts in a dispute over water. Although the murder has haunted Flagstaff for over a century\, did it really happen? This presentation examines the story of pioneer John Elden\, the murder of his son\, and the contribution of myth to history. \nJohn Westerlund is an independent scholar and American West historian. He was a career Army officer serving four overseas tours. He was a seasonal National Park Service ranger for 11 summers with the Flagstaff Area National Monuments. His book Arizona’s War Town: Flagstaff\, Navajo Ordnance Depot\, and World War II won several awards for preservation of Southwest culture. He published numerous articles in The Journal of Arizona History along with articles in French and U.S. defense-related journals. He has been a ‘Road

SUMMARY:Father Kino: Journey to Discovery - Coolidge
DESCRIPTION:Father Kino bridged the gap between the Anglo world and the Native American through his charismatic and caring heart. He was a cartographer\, explorer\, geographer\, scientist\, and a man with a mission. Through his knowledge of agriculture\, he introduced new livestock breeds and taught animal husbandry to the native to increase the stock. The new plants and fruit trees he brought to the New World gave the native a variety of foods to eat and increased their ability to withstand seasonal changes. Father Kino brought a new religion to the native in a nonthreatening manner. His scientific knowledge allowed him to make new discoveries. \nDr. Barbara Jaquay\, a historical geographer\, recently published Where Have All the Sheep Gone? : Sheepherders and Ranchers in Arizona – A Disappearing Industry\, a history of the sheep industry in Arizona.  She has her Ph.D. from Texas A&M where she wrote on the Caribbean Cotton Industry.  She has traveled extensively on all seven continents and visited over 40 countries.  She has followed many of Father Kino’s journeys of discovery as she visited his missions in Arizona and Mexico.  She has published on Cuba and Costa Rica as well as Arizona Native Americans. Dr. Jaquay continues to pursue the geographical and mysterious wonders across the globe.  She is working on a second book on the sheep industry and finishing her children’s book.

SUMMARY:From Maiden Lane to Gay Alley: Prostitution in Tucson\, 1880-1912 - Lake Havasu
DESCRIPTION:Prostitution was a main stay business of frontier communities and Tucson was no exception. From 1870 to 1910\, Tucson prostitutes worked openly without local government interference. However\, as Tucson shed its frontier label for respectable city\, Tucson began slowly to condemn its ‘soiled doves.” The talk will examine the lives of Tucson’s prostitutes\, their struggles\, clients\, how they contributed to municipal revenues and eventual removal from Tucson’s growing city center. The talk will also highlight the many pressures Tucson’s prostitutes faced as the Women’s Suffrage movement gained momentum. \nBernard Wilson is an independent researcher\, who began his humanities research as part of a personal genealogical investigation into his family. He has spent the past twenty-years researching Tucson’s African-American pioneers and community. His first book\, The Black Residents of Tucson and Their Achievements: A Reference Guide\, exposed that Tucson had a large and thriving African-American community\, that included mining millionaires. His subsequent publications derived from the hours of research for his book. Currently\, his research focuses on the individual lives of the Old Pueblo’s African-Americans.

SUMMARY:Climate and Moral Responsibility in Arizona - Bisbee
DESCRIPTION:Global warming presents humanity with one of the most difficult ethical challenges ever faced. More than just a scientific problem this is a collective action problem requiring that we work together to find appropriate strategies for adaptation. It requires recognizing attribution of cause and effect and careful consideration of the likely outcomes of harm to others. Future generations will have their quality of life impacted through the loss of species habitat and with it many of the creatures that have inspired us for millennia. In this presentation and discussion\, we will pursue these and other philosophical and ethical questions that confront us today with human caused global warming. \nMatthew Goodwin has a Ph.D. in Philosophy – he is currently a Senior Lecturer in the Philosophy Department of NAU\, where he specializes in environmental ethics and phenomenology. He is also a faculty affiliate of the interdisciplinary Sustainable Communities at NAU. Matthew was recently a participant in a National Endowment for the Humanities summer seminar on extending Aldo Leopold’s “Land Ethic.” He is co-founder of SPEX: Sedona Philosophy Experience\, which offers guided hikes and retreats in Sedona and northern Arizona.

SUMMARY:Ghost Towns of the Second World War: Arizona’s Historic Military Sites - Apache Junction
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 WW2 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 - Sedona
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:The Ancient Hohokam Ballgame of Arizona - Prescott
DESCRIPTION:The ancient Hohokam culture of Arizona constructed at least 200 ball courts more than 800 years ago. These oval depressions were likely used to play a ball game that originated in southern Mexico\, where the game was played with a rubber ball and had a very important role in reenacting the creation of humans in this world. This presentation will describe the recorded Hohokam ball courts located within Hohokam villages scattered throughout Arizona\, summarize what archaeologists propose they were used for\, and discuss how these public structures may relate to what is known about the Mexican rubber ball games\, which are still played today. \nDr. Todd W. Bostwick has been conducting archaeological research in the Arizona for 38 years. He has a Masters degree in Anthropology and a Ph.D. in History from Arizona State University. Dr. Bostwick was the Phoenix City Archaeologist at Pueblo Grande Museum for 21 years before his retirement in 2010\, and was a Faculty Associate at ASU and at NAU for 7 years. He is currently the Director of Archaeology at Verde Valley Archaeology Center. Dr. Bostwick has written and edited numerous articles and books on the American Southwest\, including Landscape of the Spirits: Hohokam Rock Art at South Mountain Park\, published by the University of Arizona.

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:Arizona’s Wild Myths and Legends - Florence
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:Apaches and their Horses
DESCRIPTION:It has been thought that the Apache do not become Apache until the adoption of the horse\, which triggered the raiding adaptation. While horses played a central role in the Apachean world\, the horse divide is not as pronounced as thought. Horses changed the ancestral Apache lifeway and horses survived and thrived without European horse culture. Horses shaped warfare and intercultural relations\, were intertwined with family and inter-band relations\, and were integrated into Apachean lives through use of horse power and in ceremonies. The horse is maintained in contemporary culture and archaeological traces document the historical role of horses in rock art\, bones\, landscape use\, and artifacts. \nDr. Seymour is an internationally recognized authority on protohistoric\, Native American\, and Spanish colonial archaeology and ethno-history. For 30 years\, she has studied the Apache\, Sobaipuri O’odham\, and lesser-known mobile groups. She has excavated Spanish presidios\, numerous Kino-period missions\, and several indigenous sites. She works with indigenous groups\, tackles the Coronado and Niza expeditions\, and is reworking the history of the pre-Spanish and colonial period of the Southwest.

SUMMARY:Hopi Quilting Traditions - Green Valley
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. \n  \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:Cowpokes\, Crooks\, and Cactus: Arizona in the Movies - Casa Grande
DESCRIPTION:Tyrone Power\, Andy Devine\,  Katy Jurado\, Steve McQueen and\, of course\, John Wayne. From the earliest days of film\, Arizona has been a setting and subject for hundreds of films.

SUMMARY:Climate and Moral Responsibility in Arizona - Bisbee
DESCRIPTION:Global warming presents humanity with one of the most difficult ethical challenges ever faced. More than just a scientific problem this is a collective action problem requiring that we work together to find appropriate strategies for adaptation. It requires recognizing attribution of cause and effect and careful consideration of the likely outcomes of harm to others. Future generations will have their quality of life impacted through the loss of species habitat and with it many of the creatures that have inspired us for millennia. In this presentation and discussion\, we will pursue these and other philosophical and ethical questions that confront us today with human caused global warming. \nMatthew Goodwin has a Ph.D. in Philosophy – he is currently a Senior Lecturer in the Philosophy Department of NAU\, where he specializes in environmental ethics and phenomenology. He is also a faculty affiliate of the interdisciplinary Sustainable Communities at NAU. Matthew was recently a participant in a National Endowment for the Humanities summer seminar on extending Aldo Leopold’s “Land Ethic.” He is co-founder of SPEX: Sedona Philosophy Experience\, which offers guided hikes and retreats in Sedona and northern Arizona.

SUMMARY:Arizona’s Wild Myths and Legends - Sedona
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:Who Are the Sobaipuri O'odham? - Tubac
DESCRIPTION:Who Are the Sobaipuri O’odham?: The Sobaipuri Legacy at the San Xavier/Wa:k Community \nTubac Presidio \nDecember 9\, 2017\, 2 pm \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.
