Look back at the founding of the United States, nearly 250 years ago. In the struggle between American colonists and the British Empire, how did Indigenous people and the Spanish Empire play a role? And what was happening in what’s now Arizona while a war for independence was raging in the east?

Join us for an “America @ 250: What Happened In AZ?” screening and panel discussion on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at Prochnow Auditorium, 317 W. Dupont Ave., Flagstaff, AZ 86011. Doors will open at 1 p.m. with the program beginning at 2 p.m.

We’ll explore Indigenous voices of the late eighteenth century, east and west – including stories of American revolutions that predate the Revolutionary War – as well as the state of Spanish exploration in the Southwest around 1770.

Featuring selections from Arizona PBS’s new digital series “What Happened in AZ” and excerpts of the new documentary series by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt, “The American Revolution.”
