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. This program is being co-hosted by East Flagstaff Community Library. \nREGISTER HERE \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nLaura Tohe is Diné. She is Sleepy Rock clan born for the Bitter Water clan.

SUMMARY:The History of Police and Policing with Matthew Whitaker
DESCRIPTION:What is the history of policing in the U.S.? Where did police come from\, and what was their role? How did police interact with communities in the past? How do police interact with communities now? Recent clashes between the police and the public have thrust the nation into a period of social unrest and violence not seen since the 1960s. The public has called for immediate and dramatic change. Do we still need the police? How do communities ensure public safety in the future for everyone? Participants will explore these questions in a safe\, interactive discussion\, that will help them understand and improve the relationship between the police and community. \nAbout the Speaker \nMatthew C.
