SUMMARY:The Unruly Rio Grande: How A Meandering River Re-shaped the US-Mexico Line
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nRivers flood and change over time which can cause major issues regarding political boundaries between nations. What happens when this directly impacts people’s homes\, cultural beliefs\, and economic zones. This session focuses on the shifting Rio Grande border with Mexico due to significant flooding in the 19th century and the changes that resulted in a 100 year dispute over a stretch of land in El Paso\, Texas. During a time period of heightened Cold War tensions\, a peaceful negotiation was reached that ended the dispute and permanently altered the course of the Rio Grande River in this area. Various materials and resources will be provided along with lessons that can be used in U.S. History courses or AP Human Geography classes. \nSession Focus\nHigher Education | Physical & Environmental Geography | U.S. History \nConference Room\nRobins Family Forum Theater \nMeet the Presenter\nDawn Schmidt teaches in Tempe\, Arizona at Corona del Sol High School.
