SUMMARY:Meriwether Lewis: Tribal Tales from the River's Edge

In this dynamic performance\, Fox shares both folklore and true history from the American Indians met along the way. The audience sees something of the transformation of the Corps of Discovery as they adapted to Native American life ways\, and they hear about life before the white man came.

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 -- 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.
