| Tucson is known as the "Old Pueblo". A colorful history suggests that the area has been inhabited for over 8,000 years. A walled Presidio was created August 20, 1775, near the center of downtown, by Irishman, Hugh O'Connor, and a Colonel in the Spanish Army. The original wall no longer stands, but is commemorated in the historic El Presidio neighborhood. Tucson, a first class desert city with an estimated population of 491,750, was noted as one of the fastest growing cities in the nation at the turn of the century. A unique mixture of Native Indian, Spanish, Mexican and Western Pioneer culture makes up a very fascinating blend. |

| Cultural historian Raymond Williams spent a lot of time trying to come up with a definition of culture. He referred to it as "a whole way of life, or a structure of feeling". That is a liked expression. Culture gives you the sense of something learned, perhaps without really being aware of it, yet it shapes awareness of everything around each and how each reacts to things. Fostering an open dialogue and increasing global awareness about unique segments of humanity cultivates social awareness in our modern world around the issues facing different cultures today.
