Introducing the Great Sage Plain - the most important Ancestral Puebloan environment you've never heard of (well, maybe you've heard of it, you archaeologist, you). Archaeologist Jason Chuipka will introduce us to the archaeology and culture history of this important landscape. (May 15 at 6pm.)
The Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation has lived in what is now northern Utah, eastern Idaho, and western Wyoming since time immemorial. Brad Parry, Vice-Chairman of the Band, knows these histories well and will recount some of them for us in this presentation. (May 22 at noon.)
Join architect Jansen Bennett on a virtual tour of one of the oldest hydroelectric power plants in western North America.
