SUMMARY:The Arizona Trail: An 850-mile Mountain Bike Exploration of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Along the 850-mile Arizona Trail from Utah to Mexico\, climate change is reshaping ecosystems and communities across the Southwest. In fall 2025\, Arizona Republic climate reporter and ecologist Joan Meiners spent seven weeks mountain biking the entire trail to document these changes and explore solutions with scientists\, tribes\, and local experts. Through vivid photos\, video\, and storytelling\, this presentation traces Arizona’s most urgent environmental challenges and opportunities—mile by mile—from fire-scarred forests and deepening drought to renewable energy efforts and humanitarian issues at the border. This free program is made possible by AZ Humanities and space is limited. Please note\, park admission is not included.

SUMMARY:Growing in the Desert: The History & Culture of the Tohono O’odham
DESCRIPTION:This program is made possible by Arizona Humanities. Please note that park admission is not included. \n \nMany Arizonans call the Sonoran Desert and its striking landscapes home. Long before our urban centers and city lights lit up the dark desert skies\, the Tohono O’odham were cultivating and shaping the land with abundant agriculture—from squash and beans to corn and cotton. For generations they passed down their rich knowledge and culture grown from their connection to the desert. Join us for a program with Jacelle Ramon-Sauberan as she shares her knowledge about the history and culture of her people\, the Tohono O’odham. \n \nJacelle Ramon-Sauberan\, of the Tohono O’odham Nation\, serves as the Education Liaison for the Kitt Peak National Observatory and as an instructor at the Tohono O’odham Community College. She earned her Ph.D. in American Indian Studies with a minor in Journalism from the University of Arizona in 2023. As part of her dissertation work\, she created the first living-document on the history of land and water in the San Xavier District\, as told from a Tohono O’odham perspective. She has written for news publications across the US including Indian Country Today and is part of Arizona Humanities’ AZ Speaks Program providing presentations on Tohono O’odham History\, Culture\, and Foodways across Arizona. Jacelle also serves on several boards and committees including Wecij U’uwi Hemapai (Tohono O’odham Young Women’s Gathering)\, Friends of Tucson’s Birthplace-Mission Garden\, Friends of Saguaro National Park and Santa Cruz Valley National Heritage Area Partnership Council.

SUMMARY:Blast from the Past: Firing of the 1541 Coronado Expedition Cannon Replica
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a remarkable presentation featuring Dr. Deni Seymour\, an internationally recognized archaeologist and leading expert on Native and Spanish Colonial history of the Southwest. She will be joined by fellow members of the Historical Arms Society of Tucson. \n \nWith more than 45 years of groundbreaking research\, Dr. Seymour has uncovered the stories\, landscapes\, and people that shaped our desert region. Her work—combined with her dynamic storytelling—makes the past come alive. Together with special guests\, she will explore the history and technology of early artillery in the Southwest. \n \nSilent for nearly 500 years\, two bronze cannons were discovered buried at the 1541 battle site of the Coronado Expedition townsite of Suya\, near Nogales in southern Arizona. A highlight of the program will be an exhilarating live cannon firing and in-depth discussion of the cannon\, its replica\, and the critical role these weapons played during the expedition. \n \nThe original cannon will also be available for viewing.
