SUMMARY:"Growing in the Desert: The History & Culture of the Tohono O'odham " with Jacelle Ramon-Sauberan
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION \nMany Arizonans call the Sonoran Desert and its striking landscapes home. Long before our urban centers and city lights lit up the dark desert skies\, the Tohono O’odham were cultivating and shaping the land with abundant agriculture—from squash and beans to corn and cotton. For generations they passed down their rich knowledge and culture grown from their connection to the desert. Join us for a program with Jacelle Ramon-Sauberan as she shares her knowledge about the history and culture of her people\, the Tohono O’odham. \nThis program is cohosted by the Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS \nDr. Jacelle Ramon-Sauberan is Tohono O’odham and from the San Xavier District. She serves as faculty in the Tohono O’odham Studies Program at Tohono O’odham Community College. Dr. Ramon-Sauberan also serves as the Tohono O’odham Nation Education Development Liaison for Kitt Peak National Observatory.  She earned her PhD in American Indian Studies with a minor in Journalism at the University of Arizona in May 2023. Her research focused on the history of land and water in the San Xavier District and she has written for news publications across the US including Indian Country Today.

SUMMARY:"Connections to Holistic Material: Native Culture Today and Tomorrow " with Yolanda Hart Stevens
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION \nFrom birth to death\, the mesquite tree is an integral part of life for many who call the desert home. The mesquite tree is just one of many holistic materials\, elements of our natural environment\, that are vital to sustaining Native culture and practices. But climate change and environmental degradation are changing the landscapes of Arizona. From the lack of water resources to the loss of mesquite trees\, the future is uncertain. Join us for a program about water\, land\, and the environmental challenges impacting Native communities. \nThis program is cohosted by Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nYolanda Hart Stevens is an enrolled member of the Gila River Indian Community\, Pee-Posh/Quechan\, and currently resides in the village of Komatke\, AZ. Hart Stevens is a successful artist and community activist\, performing at notable events such as Super Bowl XLII\, The National Congress of the American Indian\, and serving in highly-regarded positions such as the Smithsonian Institution American Community Scholar and a member of the Kennedy Center for Arts and Education. As an artist in residence at the Heard Museum in Phoenix\, and as a teacher of beadwork\, she has developed programs to promote a clearer understanding of the people of the Southwest through their history\, clothing\, and decoration. She teaches a variety of beading techniques\, including lazy stitch\, edging and peyote stitch at various locals throughout the valley. Hart Stevens is passionate about maintaining a dialogue with her elders\, contributing her skill of beadwork\, and sharing the given knowledge with her family and young people. She is actively participating in training from Yuman tribal elders.
