SUMMARY:History Live Durango -- The Chaco Solstice Project: An Update
DESCRIPTION:The Southwest Colorado Humanities Roundtable has coordinated a month of history\, anthropological\, and archaeological events in La Plata County this September. \n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by the San Juan Basin Archeological Society (SJBAS) and the Department of Anthropology\, Fort Lewis College (FLC)\nContact: Janice Sheftel\, Janicesheftel@gmail.com or check SJBAS.org \nThe Solstice Project is an interdisciplinary team of archeologists\, archaeoastronomers\, geodesists\, and remote sensing experts that studies the heritage of the Chaco culture. Founded in 1978\, following the rediscovery of the Sun Dagger site on Fajada Butte in Chaco Canyon\, the Project researches the achievements of the Chaco people: how they envisioned a cosmology through monumental buildings\, non-utilitarian roads\, and rigorous geometries in a vast desert landscape. The Project has undertaken new\, groundbreaking research that shows the immense region of the Chaco world\, using aerial imagery\, precise surveying techniques\, and LIDAR.  Insights come from Project Puebloan advisers\, combined with new understandings of Mesoamerican parallels for cardinal directions\, the interplay of vertical and horizontal axes\, ritual roads\, cacao\, shells\, spirals\, and the sun and the moon.

SUMMARY:History Live Durango! Whole Histories\, Missing Stories: Discovering the Untold Stories of Durango’s Past
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, the publishing industry has seen tremendous growth in books from diverse voices.  At Maria’s Bookshop\, some of our readers are excited to find books with stories about someone else’s experiences.  And many customers are finding stories that represent their own experience for the first time. \nThere are many more divergent perspectives and voices to be heard and fascinating stories to be told within our own local history. \nA panel of community members\, to include Fred Wildfang\, will present on published works and oral histories alike in an interactive discussion of a more inclusive account of the Southwest’s history. This panel will take stock of our own local histories with an active goal of seeking whole histories and finding local stories missing from our own archive. \nAttendees will be given a chance to ask questions\, encounter suggestions and focus attention on a myriad of viewpoints that helped create the diverse society that we call home today.

SUMMARY:History Live Durango -- Marie Curie Chautauqua Portrayal by Susan Marie Frontczak
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Fort Lewis College Lifelong Learning \, Colorado Humanities\, and Southwest Colorado Humanities Roundtable\nLocation: 130 Noble Hall\, Fort Lewis College\nContact: Gary Rottman\, gsorcer@hotmail.com \nMarie Curie – scientist\, mother\, and teacher – changed our world through her discovery of radium and radioactivity. From the political oppression of her childhood\, to scientific emergence and fame\, this is a life that speaks to the tenacity of the human spirit and the enduring allure of scientific discovery. Time travel back to 1915 to hear the story of this introverted\, focused scientist who discovered a new element whose compounds really do glow in the dark. Few understand the obstacles she faced just to get into the laboratory or the path that led to two Nobel Prizes. Program includes an in-character presentation\, a Q&A with  “Marie Curie” and a Q&A with the presenter.

SUMMARY:History Live Durango -- Erma Bombeck Chautauqua Portrayal by Susan Marie Frontczak
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Colorado Humanities and the Southwest Colorado Humanities Roundtable\nLocation: Powerhouse Science Center\nContact: Shelley Walchak\, swalchak@gmail.com\, 303.941.4012\, \nErma Bombeck captured with paring-knife-sharp humor the daily life of a new American phenomenon: the suburban housewife. Having figured out from her own personal experience that if you can laugh at it you can live with it\, she chronicled the housewife’s daily struggles in her column “At Wit’s End” three days a week. She eventually appeared in 900 newspapers across the country and in books such as I Lost Everything in the Post-Natal Depression and The Grass is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank. Bombeck brought to American awareness the life of women whose lives otherwise felt invisible and taken for granted. This program consists of a monologue in-character\, followed first by a Q&A with “Erma Bombeck” and then by a Q&A with the scholar/presenter.
