Boise: Gem of the Mountains-Basque/Chinese

Monday, July 8, 2013, 7 – 8pm

Local storyteller Ben Kemper, after unfolding the Treasure Valleys hidden history in Early Boise Stories and dramatizing Idaho's darkest hour in History from the Ashes: Stories of Idaho's Big Burn, now invites you to hear tales of Boise's early ethnic communities. Our city is a gem, and all the facets of different cultures and experiences make it shine brighter. And every facet has a story.

From the Shoshone Indians who worshiped at Table Rock, to the Chinese immigrants that made Garden City grow, to the African-Americans who faced down persecution, to the Basques celebrated and planted their culture; Boise's cultural history is rich in trials, tragedies and triumphs. Kemper will create five forty-minute tales from all of Boise's history and will perform them at free, easily accessible venues around Boise city. Hear a series of tales at one event and hear a new set at another.

Ben, a Department of Arts & History BOISE 150 Grant Recipient, will focus on different ethnic groups at each of his three Boise Public Library performances. All are at 7:00 p.m.

Monday, July 8, Main Library - Basque/Chinese
Thursday, July 25, Main Library - African American/Shoshone Bannock

Let's Talk About It

12 Jul 2013 00:00:00 GMT

Main Library
Thursday, July 11, 2013, 6 – 7pm

Celebrate Idaho’s Sesquicentennial by reading an Idaho-related book each month from March through July, then joining us for a book discussion. "Let's Talk About It" is offered in partnership with the Idaho Commission for Libraries and made possible by the Idaho Humanities Council, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and a generous gift from U.S. Bank.

July selection: Sheep May Safely Graze, by Louie Attebery. Discussion Leader Wendy Green, Scholar

Sheep May Safely Graze is a nonfiction account of the work of one third-generation Idaho sheep ranching family. In chronicling the family’s traditions and describing the contemporary context in which the family operates, folklorist Louie Attebery addresses larger questions about the continuity and survival of family traditions and provides a vivid account of a vanishing way of life.
