    logo_sedonamuseumSedona AZ (March 14, 2013) – The Sedona Heritage Museum will host a book-signing for author Carolina Butler on Saturday, March 23rd from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Museum.

    Butler’s new book, “Oral History of the Yavapai”, is a history from the Indians’ point of view in the words and the feelings of the Yavapai themselves. It is based on interviews of two Yavapai tribal elders, Mike Harrison and John Williams, both now deceased. It took almost 30 years from their interviews to this publication becoming a reality.

    20130314_yavapai-elders1Butler will give a presentation at 10:30 a.m. about how this book came together and read a few selections. She will be available to sign her books from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

    The book moves the reader rapidly as it tells the fateful story of the Yavapai, one of Arizona’s oldest tribes, from the time Christopher Columbus set foot in the New World and on through its confrontations with other tribes; and with the Spaniards; the entrance of the Anglo-American trappers and miners; the deadly encounters with the settlers and the White soldiers; to the conquest of the Yavapai and their 25-year confinement outside their homeland; and to two more assaults on the Yavapai by the government in our own time.

    Refreshments will be served. The Sedona Heritage Museum is located at 735 Jordan Road in Uptown Sedona in Jordan Historical Park. For more information, call 928-282-7038.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
