“My Wa’alupe Yaqui Identity: Family, Cemetery, Church, and Guadalupe School”

Octaviana Valenzuela Trujillo Studies on indigenous history and culture of our Pascua Yaqui Tribe have stimulated a genre of literature that has shaped the way we understand the historical processes of community formation and re-establishment patterns of mobility, and the continuity of our indigenous identity. Too frequently, anthropological studies examine indigenous peoples through a dichotomous lens that views us as static or displaced. Instead, we believe that indigenous peoples’ histories should be placed at the center of an analysis that portrays us as active social participants. We know that we shape our destiny. Photographs, government documents and other archival material are shared to recount the stories and memories of the families forming the history and resilience of the people of Guadalupe.

“Overcoming: Growing Up in The South”

Rosemary James

“Greatness is not measured by what a man or woman accomplishes, but by the opposition he or she has overcome to reach his or her goals.”-Dorothy Height

What is it like to grow up in the south as a black person? Come along with me as I take you on an abbreviated, firsthand experience of my life in the south during the forties, fifties and the Civil Rights era. You will surely leave this talk saying, “It was as if I had been there.” You may even be changed a bit if you open yourself up to what you hear. I was born in a little town called Kentwood in Louisiana. I went to Grambling college in 1962 and moved to Arizona with my husband of 49 ½ years in 1965. We are blessed with two wonderful sons who have grown into very accomplished men. I served as a classroom teacher of 3rd through middle school students, a school district staff developer, a school principal and an education consultant for 39 years prior to retiring in 2009. My husband taught me to love traveling and we were blessed to have traveled to 6 continents prior to his death. I completed our planned excursion to the 7th continent of Antarctica in 2015.
