This talk will illustrate their journey from Japan\, and some of the various paths that brought them here\, as well as the transitions they made along the way. \nSpeaker: Julie Ushio\, a member of the Advisory Board at Japanese Hall\, Legacy of the Plains Museum\, in Gering. She grew up in Alliance\, Nebraska\, where her Japanese grandparents settled.

SUMMARY:Women's Rights and the Saucy Mrs. Adams
DESCRIPTION:Five years after Abigail Smith married John Adams\, the American colonies adopted the British law of coverture. This law held that no female person had a legal identity. Married women owned nothing—not even the clothes on their backs. More importantly\, they had no rights over their own bodies\, or custody of the children they bore. \nAbigail’s marriage was based on mutual respect\, and she understood how lucky she was. She witnessed families torn apart by a husband’s drunkenness\, lack of employment\, temper\, and/or money mismanagement. Abigail’s famous ‘remember the ladies’ letter to her husband in which she implores him to “not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands\,” speaks directly to the law of coverture. This was the women’s rights issue of her time—remnants of which still exist in the year 2024. \nPresented by Chautauqua Scholar Jessica Downing-Ford

SUMMARY:The Origins of American Cowboy Culture
DESCRIPTION:Why are there rodeos? Why are there cowboys? Why are there horses in\nAmerica? Where did the word cowboy come from? The Stetson cowboy hat? Why were there TV shows like Gunsmoke\, The Lone Ranger\, and The Cisco Kid? \nThis fascinating presentation traces cowboy culture’s roots from the open plains of Spain to the establishment of ranching culture in the New World. Angel Vigil describes the role of the Spanish/Mexican vaquero in the establishment of\ntraditional cowboy and ranching practices in the west\, placing the historical and fictional lore of the origins of the American cowboy in the historical context of the vaquero\, the true first cowboy. \nPresented by Chautauqua scholar Angel Vigil.
