SUMMARY:Día de los Muertos: A Celebration of Life and Death - Prescott
DESCRIPTION:Dressed in a Mexican huipil with her face painted in a traditional calavera (skull)\, Elena Díaz Bjorkquist answers the questions of what Día de los Muertos is\, where it came from\, its roots\, and how it’s celebrated. Día los Muertos is a significant and highly celebrated holiday in Mexico and the Southwestern United States. Many Mexicans and Mexican Americans believe death isn’t a subject to be feared or ignored from the living. Life cannot be celebrated without celebrating death. This plática (talk) traces the origins of the Mexican festival and describes the traditional elements associated with the holiday including foods\, folk crafts\, and altars. \nElena Díaz Björkquist is a writer\, historian\, and artist from Tucson\, Arizona. She writes about Morenci where she was born. Elena is the author of two books\, Suffer Smoke and Water from the Moon and co-editor of two anthologies by her writing group: Sowing the Seeds\, Una Cosecha de Recuerdos and Our Spirit\, Our Reality: Celebrating our Stories. She is a scholar and research affiliate with SIROW at the University of Arizona. Elena is the recipient of the 2012 AHC Dan Shilling Public Humanities Scholar Award and the Arizona Commission on the Arts Bill Desmond Writing Award.

SUMMARY:Himdak doo IIna: A Way of Life. How Societies Shape Culture - Prescott
DESCRIPTION:For tribal groups in Arizona\, understanding the connections between physical\, social\, mental and spiritual identity of the people prior to birth through 102 years old is a way of life. Tribes in Arizona often illustrate their balance between patriarch and matriarch societies through symbolism. Illustrating with the Man in the maze and the Navajo basket designs\, Royce Manuel\, Auk-Mierl Aw-Thum and Debbie Nez-Manuel\, Diné unfold the general understanding of two common designs. \nRoyce Manuel (Akimel O’odham) best describes his work through the “Tools of Yesterday” using plant fiber\, primitive bows & arrows\, knapping stone\, and making agave plant cordage. As a tribal and cultural educator and member of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community\, Royce specializes in the revival and teaching of artistic traditions and indigenous knowledge. Debbie Nez-Manuel (Diné)\, has a Masters in Social Work\, Arizona State University and is experienced in both non-profit and tribal communities. Debbie’s traditional and bi-cultural lifestyles\, provides valuable insight and practices in both urban and tribal community settings while preserving\, strengthening\, and renewing cultural identity.
