Gallery Talk: Searching for Grand Canyon Uranium
2017-09-23 12:00 - 14:00 (America/Denver) | Museum of Northern Arizona, 3101 N Fort Valley Rd, Flagstaff, AZ, 86001, United States
Alan Petersen, MNA Curator of Fine Art, has been exploring the sources of uranium in the Grand Canyon region.
The uranium is found in deep, vertical, geological structures called breccia pipes. In order to fully understand the landscape and geography in which the pipes are located, Petersen set out on his mountain bike and on foot.
Some pipes, such as the site of the former Orphan Mine at the South Rim of Grand Canyon were extremely accessible; others were exquisitely remote. Of the more than 1,200 breccia pipes in the region Petersen has visited 33. His drawings and paintings convey the subtle and nuanced nature of the pipes as landscape features and an interactive map details his travels.
Always FREE for members or included with admission.

Uranium & the Half-Life of Hope
2017-10-11 18:00 - 20:00 (America/Denver) | Museum of Northern Arizona, 3101 N Fort Valley Rd, Flagstaff, AZ, 86001, United States
URANIUM and the HALF-LIFE OF HOPE – A Future of the Colorado Plateau Forum
Presented by the Museum of Northern Arizona and Grand Canyon Trust.
DESCRIPTION:
The disturbing legacy of uranium mining on the Navajo Nation is well known to people who live near abandoned mines and mills. In 2005, the Nation banned uranium mining and milling on its nearly 30,000 square mile reservation, but it does not have the authority to ban the transportation of uranium on federal highways through its communities.
In 2012, when the U.S. Department of the Interior placed a 20-year ban on new uranium mining claims across one million acres of public lands adjacent to Grand Canyon, many felt that the era of uranium mining on the Colorado Plateau was drawing to a close. But in May 2015, Energy Fuels, Inc. began preparations to mine uranium on an existing claim at its Canyon Mine, a deposit on U.S. Forest Service land, just six miles from Tusayan and the busiest entrance to the Grand Canyon. The Havasupai Tribe’s lawsuit against the mine is awaiting a decision by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
There are also plans to drill for uranium on Arizona State Trust Lands, which are exempt from the federal ban, including the Wate Mine just off the main road into Havasupai. And a proposal for a 1.7-million-acre national monument designed to permanently protect the Grand Canyon watershed from uranium mining failed to be enacted in the final days of the Obama administation.
So what is the future of uranium mining on the Colorado Plateau? We will hear from educators, political leaders and activists who are engaged directly with this question. More importantly, we want to hear from you!
Register at: http://bit.ly/2vLF6t6
FREE event. Limited seats available.

Uranium - The Half-life of Hope
2017-10-11 18:00 - 20:00 (America/Denver) | Museum of Northern Arizona, 3101 N Fort Valley Rd, Flagstaff, AZ, 86001, United States

In 2005, the Nation banned uranium mining and milling on its reservation, and a 20-year ban on new mining claims on public lands adjacent to Grand Canyon is in effect. Yet rising uranium prices, already permitted mines, and thousands of existing claims on other Colorado Plateau lands raise the possibility of yet another uranium boom in our region. We want to hear from you!
Seating is limited to 100 participants. Pre-registration required at https://uranium.eventbrite.com
Presenters include:
-Carletta Tilousi or Coleen Kaska, councilmembers, Havasupai Tribe
-Lena Fowler, Coconino County Supervisor

Hoop Dance 2018

On February 10 & 11, 2018, top American Indian and Canadian First Nations hoop dancers will compete at the Heard Museum for the prestigious World Champion title and cash prizes. At the two-day competition, men and women compete on an equal field.
The art of hoop dance honors the cultural traditions from multiple Indigenous communities that first employed hoop dance as a healing ceremony. Today, hoop dance is shared as an artistic expression to celebrate, share and honor Indigenous traditions throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Over the years, the art of hoop dance has grown, incorporating new and creative designs and intricate footwork while still respecting the fundamentals of hoop dance, a form of tribal dance that sets itself apart. Each dancer presents his or her own variation of the intertribal hoop dance, weaving in aspects of tradition and culture. Individual routines use as few as four to as many as 50 hoops, which are manipulated to create a variety of designs including animals, insects, and globes.
Dancers are judged on a slate of five skills: precision, timing/rhythm, showmanship, creativity, and speed. Contestants compete in one of five divisions: Tiny Tots (age 5 and younger), Youth (6-12), Teen (13-17), Adult (18-39) and Senior (40 and older).
Through the stunning performances of both men and women who are vying to call themselves the World Champion Hoop Dancer, the event combines artistry, athleticism, tradition, and suspense to present a memorable competition.
Please see our website for complete details: http://heard.org/event/hoop/
Contestants ONLY:

Between River and Rim - Hiking Across the Grand Canyon
2018-02-27 19:30 - 21:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Benaroya Hall, 200 University St, Seattle, WA, 98101, United States
About the same number of people have continuously thru-hiked the Grand Canyon as have walked on the moon.
A few dozen more have hiked it in sections. Two of them — author Kevin Fedarko and photographer/filmmaker Pete McBride — are here to tell their tales of hundreds of trail-less miles through the heart of the Grand Canyon and the threats to the canyon they discovered along the way.
Join them in Seattle this February: https://www.seattlesymphony.org/concerttickets/calendar/2017-2018/nat-geo/benaroyahall/between-river-and-rim
