PRESIDENT’S WELCOME

Welcome to the 56th annual conference of the Mormon History Association! After more than a year of isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic and an online-only, 55th annual conference in 2020, I’m delighted to gather once again with colleagues and friends at the Olympic Park in the mountains of Park City, Utah, as well as online in our first hybrid (in-person and virtual) conference. The theme for this year’s conference, “, Reunion, and Resilience,” incorporates the “Restoration” aspect of the originally planned theme for Rochester, , focusing on historical exploration of the Restoration, while also highlighting the restorative aspect of reuniting again in a beautiful outdoor setting in the wake of a global pandemic. The cover photo of this printed program captures a triumphal 1933 jump—taken at Ecker Hill not far from where we’re meeting—of world-class skier Alf Engen, who immigrated to Utah from Norway after his father died in the 1918 influenza pandemic.

Few places reflect resilience more than the Park City area. We recognize that we are holding the conference on the ancestral lands of several northern bands of the Ute Indian Tribe—the Uinta-ats, Cumumba, and Tumpanawats (sometimes referred to as Timpanogos). Though Euro-American settlement and mining dispossessed these bands from their homelands they stewarded for generations, the Ute people remain resilient. Today, 3,000 Ute Indian Tribal members reside on the Uintah and Ouray Reservation in northeastern Utah’s Uintah Basin.

In the late 19th- and early 20th-centuries, a multi-decade silver mining boom drew migrant populations from around the country and world, swelling Park City’s population to nearly what it is today. But by 1950, mining revenues dropped, mines were shut down and miners put out of work, and Park City became practically a ghost town. In 1963, Park City’s last surviving mining corporation received federal funding to revitalize the town. The former miners built a gondola and a couple of chairlifts and restored Park City as a boomtown again through its silver-powdered ski industry. It is a history I know well. I remember riding that first gondola as I listened to stories about my grandfather growing up in Park City in the late 19th century. Today, thousands from around the globe visit Park City each year for its beautiful outdoor recreation and its internationally renowned Sundance Film Festival. Next year will mark the 20th anniversary of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, when Park City welcomed the world to its venues where nearly half the events were held, including at the Utah Olympic Park where we meet today.

Special thanks for our exciting program are due to Anne Berryhill and Joseph Stuart, who volunteered to serve for two years as program co-chairs after the pandemic forced the cancellation of our 2020 Rochester conference. They and their committee have curated a fabulous line-up of both in-person and online sessions.

During plenary sessions, experts will revisit the Mark Hofman forgeries and bombings that changed the Mormon history world, Forrest Cuch and Sandra Morrison will explore the fascinating Ute, mining, and ski-industry history of the Park City area, and Elder LeGrand R. Curtis Jr. will highlight restoration of New York’s Hill . Arlene M. Sánchez-Walsh, of Religious Studies at Azusa Pacific University, will present online the Smith-Pettit Lecture, “Jesus visits las Americas: Latino/a LDS Culture and Politics.” Other sessions will explore the formation of sacred texts, centennial and bicentennial anniversaries, art, politics, race, and gender. Several sessions emphasize the geographical expansion of around the world, with presenters joining CONTENTS virtually from their home countries. We’ll livestream all plenary speakers, ceremonies, and six breakout sessions, and the entire conference will also be recorded and available Welcome to Park City 2 online at www.mormonhistoryassociation.org.

OPENING PLENARY Friday, June 11, 9-10 a.m., Pavilion Tent “From Ancestral Ute Lands to Parley’s Park to the Olympic Park: Generations of Resilience” FORREST CUCH SANDRA MORRISON

Park City is located on the ancestral lands of several northern bands of the Ute Indian Tribe, including the Uinta-ats, Cumumba, and Tumpanawats (sometimes referred to as Timpanogos). A band of combined Ute and Shoshone people under the leadership of Chief Wanship also occupied points north of today’s Park City. Euro-Americans began settling the area after Latter-day Saint Apostle Parley P. Pratt explored the region in 1848 and built his “Golden Pass” road to the high mountain valley he named “Parley’s Park.” In 1872, Mormon settlers of the area changed the name to “Parley’s Park City,” which was soon shortened to “Park City.” Since then, migrants from around the world have come to the area, playing a role in the boom and bust and boom again economies of the mining and ski industries, including the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. While some made fortunes, others simply made a living, relying on their culture and religion to create and sustain their community. Dispossessed of their homelands, eventually all the Utah Ute bands were combined into the Uintah Band and moved onto the Uintah and Ouray Reservation in northeastern Utah. Currently, three bands (Uintah, Whiteriver, and Uncompahgre) of the approximately 3,000 members of the Ute Indian Tribe reside on the reservation.

Forrest Cuch was raised on the Uintah and Ouray Ute Indian Reservation in northeastern Utah. He has served as education director for the Ute Indian Tribe and as social studies department head and teacher for his alma mater, Wasatch Academy, in Mt. Pleasant, Utah. He earned a BA in Behavioral Sciences from Westminster College. He served as executive director of the Utah Division of Indian Affairs and has served on numerous boards, including as a trustee representing American Indians on the Salt Lake Organizing Committee for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games and as trustee for Park City’s Swaner Preserve. He is the editor of A History of Utah’s American Indians ( Press, 2000), and played a key role in the PBS/KUED-sponsored curriculum project, “We Shall Remain,” featuring a video series of the histories of the Utah tribes. Throughout his career, Forrest has called attention to the ancient presence of American Indian people in the Intermountain West.

Sandra Morrison has long worked with local historical organizations, previously as the Summit County Historian and as Executive Director of the Park City Historical Society & Museum, and currently as Curator at the Utah Olympic Park’s Alf Engen Ski Museum. She opened the Park City Museum in 2009 and the Museum’s Education and Collections Center in 2017. She previously served as President of the Historic Park City Alliance and now serves on the boards of the Echo Community & Historical Organization and Utah Westerners. Her historic preservation experience includes three National Register of Historic Places nominations--the Echo School (1914), Echo Post Office (c.1924) and McPolin Farm (c.1920). She has researched and written numerous articles regarding local history, and helped produce the PBS Utah documentary “Silver and Snow: the Park City Story,” which aired during the 2002 Winter Olympics.

Landscape, Art and Religion: The Intermountain West and the World

JUNE 2-5, 2022 LOGAN, UTAH

For its 57th Annual Conference in Logan, Utah, the Mormon History Association has joined forces with the Center for Latter-day Saint Arts to create a program that we hope will bring an art element into the sessions. We have selected a theme which we believe will evoke provocative historical papers and also suggest art topics, meaning all the arts: literature, visual art, music, film, theater, architecture, design, and so forth. The theme, “Landscape, Art, and Religion: The Intermountain West and the World,” grows out of the assump- tion that the natural environment shapes culture and society. Social organization, the economy, and artistic expression are formed and directed by the landscapes in which they rest. During the first century of Mormon settlement, the intermountain landscape influenced many aspects of human life. In the twentieth century, the Intermountain West remained the heartland of Latter-day Saint culture, but church members had to adapt to other landscapes, cultural and physical, as Mormonism expanded around the globe. The program committee invites scholars young and old, local and global, to investigate all aspects of this theme. Because of the collaboration with the Center for Latter-day Saint Arts, we hope many will take the occasion to explore artistic dimensions of society and culture. How are the riches and the tensions of Mormonism’s natural settings manifest in literature, music, the visual arts, film, and all the other art disciplines?

As a spur to thought, here are possible session topics that stem from the theme: The meaning of valley in Mormon culture • From Promised Valley to Great Basin Kingdom Picturing the West • Painters’ Impressionist West • Photography of the Intermountain region • The desert as metaphor The Two Dixies • Comparative slaveries in Utah and the American South Pacific Mormonism • Lifestyle, climate, art, and religion in the islands and Australia Native Truth • Indigenous and settler economies • Desert and mountain landscapes in Native American religions • Navajo poetry Gathering as Gain and Loss • Homesick immigrants Mountains as Image, Resource, and Obstacle • Mining, logging, grazing • Experimental migration routes • Landscapes as religious art The Female Economy in a Desert Landscape • Experiments and everyday realities

Of course, as always, sessions on all aspects of Mormon history are welcomed. We hope to attract the best current scholarship. Though individual papers will be given full consideration, proposals for complete sessions, whose participants reflect MHA’s ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion, are most likely to be accepted. Please submit (1) a 300-word abstract for each paper or presentation and (2) a one-page CV for each presenter, including email and cell phone contact information. Full session proposals should include the session title and a 150-word abstract outlining the session’s theme, along with a confirmed chair and commentator or moderator, as applicable. Individuals may only be included as presenters in one proposal per conference. Previously published papers are not eligible for presentation at MHA. Limited financial assistance for travel and lodging at the conference is available to student presenters and some international presenters. Proposals from international presenters or others who cannot attend the meeting in person will be considered for the online version of the conference. All presenters—including poster session presenters and online presenters—must be MHA members and registered for the conference format (in-person or online) in which they present. The deadline for proposals is November 15, 2021. Send proposals to the program co-chairs at [email protected]. Acknowledgment of receipt will be sent immediately. Notification of acceptance/rejection will be made by January 15, 2022.
