SUMMARY:More than Pocahontas and Squaws: Indigenous Women Coming into Visibility with Dr. Laura Tohe
DESCRIPTION:This visual presentation shows how Indigenous American women have contributed service to Arizona and the US\, yet remain invisible in the media and stereotyped in early films. Nevertheless\, they have been honored in all areas of public service—law\, medicine\, literature\, military\, education\, and activism with awards such as\, the Presidential Freedom\, the McArthur (genius award)\, among others. Among some traditional tribal cultures\, women’s lives are modeled after female heroes and sacred women who exemplify and express courage and kinship values. Rites of passage celebrate female creativity and the transformative nature of women\, hence there was not a need for the concept of feminism. This talk presents cultural aspects of Indigenous culture and how women have contributed in significant ways\, not only to their tribal nations\, but to contemporary American life. 45-minute presentation plus Q&A. This program is being co-hosted by the University of Arizona and the Arizona State Museum. REGISTER HERE. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nLaura Tohe is Diné. She is Sleepy Rock clan born for the Bitter Water clan. She holds a Ph.D. in Indigenous American Literature. A librettist and an award-winning poet\, her books include No Parole Today\, Meeting the Spirit of Water\, Sister Nations\, Tséyi\, Deep in the Rock\, and Code Talker Stories. Her commissioned libretto\, Enemy Slayer: A Navajo Oratorio\, was performed by the Phoenix Symphony. Her new work\, Nahasdzaan in the Glittering World\, makes its world premiere in France 2019. She is Professor Emerita with Distinction at Arizona State University and is the Navajo Nation Poet Laureate for 2015-2019.

SUMMARY:The Shadow Catchers: 150 years of Arizona Photography with Jim Turner
DESCRIPTION:For more than a century and a half some of the world’s best photographers focused their lenses on Arizona. In addition to the renowned Edward S. Curtis\, Kate Cory lived with the Hopi and represented them in photographs and on canvas\, while C. S. Fly gave us the famous Geronimo pictures. In the 20th century Josef Muench’s pictures brought the movies to Monument Valley\, Dorothea Lange captured Dust Bowl families\, Barry Goldwater depicted Navajo and Hopi culture\, and Ansel Adams glorified Arizona’s skies\, canyons\, and mesas. This presentation’s powerful images make the land and its people come alive. \nREGISTER HERE \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nBefore retiring from the Arizona Historical Society\, Jim Turner worked with more than 70 museums across the state. In addition to his contributions to education and history\, he has recently expanded his research into cultural and economic phenomena\, including emerging trends like empfehlenswerte Online Casinos ohne Oasis\, which he encountered during a study of digital engagement and its impact on regional tourism. He noted how such platforms are shaping recreational habits\, particularly in areas with rich historical significance\, by attracting diverse audiences. He co-authored the 4th-grade textbook The Arizona Story\, and his pictorial history\, 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 in 1999\, and has been presenting Arizona history for more than forty years. Jim is an author/editor for Rio Nuevo Publishers\, author of The Mighty Colorado from the Glaciers to the Gulf and Four Corners USA: Wonders of the American Southwest.
