SUMMARY:The Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) of WWII
DESCRIPTION:During World War II over one thousand women served as Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP)\, freeing male pilots for combat roles at a critical time during the war. The WASP ferried planes from factories to embarkation points; performed engineer test flying of repaired aircraft and did target towing for gunnery training. By the spring of 1944\, every P-51 Mustang flown in combat had already been flown by a WASP. This presentation shares their stories as fliers\, patriots\, and women who had to fight for the right to be called veterans. \nNatalie J. Stewart-Smith has been an educator for over 25 years and taught at the elementary\, high school\, and college levels. As a former Army officer and historian\, she is interested in women’s contributions to the military\, particularly those who served as military aviators.

SUMMARY:Armed with Our Language\, We Went to War:  The Navajo Code Talkers - Kingman
DESCRIPTION:During WWII a select group of young Navajo men enlisted in the Marines with a unique weapon. Using the Navajo language\, they devised a secret code that the enemy never deciphered.  For over 40 years a cloak of secrecy hung over the Code Talker’s service until the code was declassified and they were finally honored for their military contributions in the South Pacific by Presidents Reagan\, Bush\, and the Navajo Nation. The Code Talkers’ cultural background\, how the code was devised and used\, photos\, and how Navajo spiritual beliefs were used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) form this presentation. \nLaura Tohe is Diné/Navajo.  She is Sleepy Rock clan born for the Bitter Water clan. A librettist and an award-winning poet\, she has written 3 books of poetry\, edited a book of Native American Women writing\, and the oral history book\, Code Talker Stories. Her commissioned libretto\, Enemy Slayer\, A Navajo Oratorio made its world premiere in 2008 and was performed by The Phoenix Symphony.  She is Professor with Distinction in Indigenous Literature at Arizona State University and is the Poet Laureate of the Navajo Nation for 2015-2019.

SUMMARY:Wild\, Weird\, Wicked Arizona - Kingman
DESCRIPTION:For a state that has been home to Geronimo\, Wyatt Earp\, César Chavez and Wonder Women\, you would think Arizona earned some respect. Yet achieving statehood was a 50-year struggle\, which finally ended on February 14\, 1912. Jana borrows from both her work for True West Magazine and her work for Phoenix Magazine to put the 48th state into perspective. She shares some of the secrets prissy folks would rather forget. You will learn why this small state has had an inordinate influence on American politics\, and why\, no matter what outrageous thing happens anywhere in the world\, there is bound to be an Arizona connection. This wicked\, weird and wild romp through Arizona’s colorful history will shock\, delight\, inform\, tickle and leave you wanting to learn more! \nJana Bommersbach is one of Arizona’s most honored and respected journalists.  She has won accolades in every facet of her career—investigative reporter\, magazine columnist\, television commentator and author of nationally acclaimed books. She currently writes for True West magazine\, digging up the true stories behind the popular myths\, with an emphasis on Arizona’s real history and women of the Old West. Her insight\, knowledge and wit produce exuberant\, riveting speeches that always garner rave reviews.

SUMMARY:Women on the Mother Road in Arizona: Route 66 - Kingman
DESCRIPTION:Screening and Discussion of Oral Histories and Documentary Film  \nCalled the “Mother Road” by author John Steinbeck\, U.S. Route 66 stretches some 2\,400 miles from Los Angeles to Chicago\, symbolic of the mobility available to Americans\, and an iconic highway for many travelers. Yet much of the historical perspective of the highway that passes through Arizona has primarily focused on men\, often overlooking the experiences of women and girls. Please join us for a screening and conversation with project director Katrina Parks\, historians Heidi Osselaer and Olivia Charest and archivist Sean Evans who will reexamine Route 66 from a female perspective. \nFunding for this program is provided in part by a grant from Arizona Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)\, with additional support from the Mohave Museum of History and the Arts. The event is free and open to the public. For more information\, please contact Katrina Parks at katrinaparks@mac.com.

SUMMARY:The Mighty Colorado River: From its Sources to the Sea
DESCRIPTION:Jim Turner has traced the Green and Colorado rivers from their beginnings as clear bubbling glacial springs high in the mountains\, then through roaring canyons in Utah\, Arizona\, and Nevada\, and finally to the salt flats in Mexico.

He is co-author of the 4th-grade textbook The Arizona Story\, and his pictorial history book\, Arizona: Celebration of the Grand Canyon State\, contains more than 530 images. 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.
