Description

This free virtual book club hosted by Conifer Historical Society features "Watili: The Native American Slace Heroine" about the harrowing tale of Watili, a young native American women who is kidnapped by Apache slavers and sold as a domestic servant to a Spanish cartographer-map maker.

Her courageous trek for freedom after she enters a world beyond her imaginings and crosses the rolling plains and towering plateaus of the West to freedom. She and her companions find themselves facing the truth about the Oneness of Spirituality that binds them in life, and are forced to learn from each other to adapt in a quickly changing world. Secrets are revealed, truths unveiled, and strife arises as this trio of travelers makes their way not only across the geography of the land, but also the geography of their own private beliefs and viewpoints.

After registering you'll receive a personalized Zoom link to attend the event.

Conifer Historical Society & Museum

Mission

The Mission of the Conifer Historical Society and Museum is to share the region's legacy by collecting, preserving and exhibiting historical and cultural materials.

Background Statement

One day, a group of Conifer residents was sitting around the dinner table together and the topic of history came up. "Do you remember who used to live on that house way down on Kuester Road? What about that old Cemetery off Pleasant Park Road? Do you know anything about that?" And so the discussion went, and The Conifer Historical Society and Museum was born. Incorporated in January 2009, we have grown and now call the former Conifer Junction Schoolhouse our home. Our purpose now is to share the region's legacy by collecting, preserving and exhibiting historical and cultural materials and provide public access to services, collections, exhibits and a research library.
