Join John Mack as he explores the ongoing conversation about the origins of horses in Arizona, emphasizing the perspectives and insights of Indigenous Arizonans. Although European settlers are commonly credited with introducing horses to Arizona, Native American communities in the state have long had a deep and cultural relationship with these animals. By delving into the cultural and historical roles horses have played in Native American communities, specifically the Apache and Diné, it uncovers a more nuanced and accurate narrative of how horses arrived in the state. The presentation underscores the significance of recognizing and honoring Arizona’s Native American heritage and its impact on the state’s history.
This event is offered for free and is open to the public. This program is made possible through a partnership between The Museum of Casa Grande, the AZ Humanities and the City of Casa Grande Dorothy Powell Senior Center.
