SUMMARY:Arizona's Historic Trading Posts - Cottonwood
DESCRIPTION:Early traders traveled through Arizona Territory\, selling goods from their wagons\, but they soon built stores that evolved into trading and social centers where wool\, sheep\, and Native Arts were exchanged for food and necessities. Navajo trading posts are best known\, but trading posts existed on every reservation in Arizona. Traders became the intermediaries between Native peoples and the outside world\, providing not only hard goods\, but other services including translating\, correspondence\, and transportation. Trading posts also became destinations for artists\, authors\, and tourists. Trading posts have mostly disappeared today\, but they remain a romantic and historic part of the Southwest. \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 as OneBookArizona for 2011 and Desert Trader was named one of the Best Books of the Southwest 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. \n

SUMMARY:Instruments and Music of Arizona Pioneers - Cottonwood
DESCRIPTION:Instruments and Music of Arizona’s Pioneers\nThe story of our state is not complete without music. This program will focus on the various genres of music that reflected the milieu and personalities of our various immigrants.  Using musical instruments and stories\, audience members will be presented an artistic tableau of our past: heroes\, villains\, and the immigrants who passed through and settled in Arizona. For example\, Coronado’s priests unrolled musical missal leaves during Mass to facilitate finding the seven cities of gold. The Indigenous tribes he encountered also had rich sacred and secular musical traditions. It is possible to learn much about a people from what they sang and the instruments that accompanied. \nJay Craváth\, Ph.D. is a composer\, writer\, and scholar in the field of music and Indigenous studies. Dr. Craváth crafts programs from these interests into interactive discussions that include stories\, musical performance\, and illustrations/photography. His most recent publication is: The Mohave Book for Little Ones. Dr. Craváth is the Cultural Director for the Chemehuevi Indian Tribe.

SUMMARY:The Long Walk of the Navajo People   1864-1868 - Cottonwood
DESCRIPTION:The Long Walk of the Navajo People\, 1864-1868\nIn 1864\, Navajo people were forced to walk over 450 miles to Fort Sumner in eastern New Mexico.  Imprisoned on a 40-square mile reservation for four long years the people suffered from hunger\, loneliness\, illnesses\, and severe environmental conditions. On June 1\, 1868\, U. S. officials and Navajo leaders reached an agreement\, allowing the Navajos to return to a portion of their original lands located in northeastern Arizona and northwestern New Mexico. The Long Walk has been collected in historical literature by non-Navajo authors.  Absent from the literature is the Navajo perspective.  The audience will hear the Navajo elders’ version of the Long Walk in this presentation. \nDr. Evangeline Parsons Yazzie is a Professor Emerita at Northern Arizona University.  She obtained a Masters degree in Bilingual Multicultural Education and a Doctorate in Education.  Retiring after teaching 24 years\, Evangeline became a writer of novels and short stories. She wrote a novel based upon the Navajo Long Walk and is the first of four that tell the story of a Navajo family and their struggles.  She also wrote an award winning children’s book about the Navajo Long Walk titled\, Little Woman Warrior Who Came Home. Evangeline is a Navajo woman\, originally from Hardrock on the Navajo Reservation.

SUMMARY:Little Sur Shot and the Closing of the American West - Cottonwood
DESCRIPTION:Little Sur Shot – Annie Oakley and the Closing of the American West\nAnnie Oakley is perhaps the best recognized\, but little know personalities that came out of the American West.
