At this community art activity, families will be inspired to understand their community through data tracking. We will look at some examples of data recorded in aesthetic ways and then create our own beautiful methods of tracking data.

The 7:00 PM lecture is free and open to the public. It will explore indigenous views of our relationship with and responsibility to the land. We will come to better understand the Shoshone influence on our current cultural identity and how and why it is important to preserve respectful traditions that honor our Native American past.

The community is invited to bring their photos, letters, recipes, and other historical materials that represent their family and past in Utah. Participants can learn about their items and create digital copies that will become part of the Peoples of Utah Revisited online collection and the Summit County archive.

Attendees will reflect on insights gained during the duration of the Crossroads Exhibit. Examples of how other rural communities are maintaining their identity will be shared. The audience will be challenged to define the rural characteristics that are most valued and brainstorm ideas on how to preserve them. Next steps will be identified on how the community can continue to be engaged with our local leaders toward achieving a common community vision.
