WELCOME TO THE MHA CONFERENCE 2 Welcome to the 2018 Mormon History Association conference in Boise, Idaho! The conference theme “Homelands and Bordered Lands” evokes Idaho’s rich and diverse history. Various tribal nations, including Kootenai, Coeur D’Alene, Nez Perce, Shoshone Bannock, and the Northwest Band of Shoshone have lived since time immemorial on these homelands. In addition to being home to the largest Basque population in the United States, Idaho was once the home to a significant number of Chinese laborers. The program highlights the diversity of Idaho and the LDS Church. Papers on Latino sugar beet workers, African American students at Brigham Young University, and adopted Samoan children argue for the importance of considering the experiences of people of color within Mormonism and recognizing the structures of power that have shaped their lives. The emphasis on the lives of people of color also recognizes that people of African descent only attained full membership in the LDS Church a few decades ago. The fortieth anniversary of Official Declaration 2, which ended the exclusion of African Americans from the church’s temple rituals and male priesthood, occurs during the conference. Several panels explore this theme. Joanna Brooks explicitly labels the priesthood and temple ban a form of white supremacy, while a roundtable on the experiences of black Mormons examines how Official Declaration 2 changed the history of Mormonism. An important part of Idaho’s history has also been the influence of borders and state authority on the lives of Idaho Mormons. Panels on Idaho fundamentalists and the Idaho judiciary highlight the role of the legal system in Idaho history. Although Idaho had a significant Mormon population in the nineteenth century, anti-Mormonism was an influential force in state politics. We are also excited about the inclusion of public history in this program. In recent years, historians have increasingly emphasized the importance of engaging with people outside of the academy in their work. To some extent, MHA has always done this. Its membership is diverse, and scholars presenting at its annual conference have always been in dialogue with amateur historians and interested community members. For the first time, however, the program explicitly plays with alternative formats and topics of discussion. Oral history and material culture take centerstage in a few sessions and highlight the diversity of work that historians do. We hope that future programs continue to highlight diversity of the field of history and the wide variety of forms its scholarship can take. Finally, this program has been a deeply personal one for us. We identify variously as historians of sexuality, colonialism, Native America, and gender. Although we tried to include panels that would appeal to a wide variety of interests, we were particularly pleased to see the number of panels on women’s history. Women make appearances as missionaries for the Equal Rights Amendment, landowners in territorial Utah, and theologians. In spite of the fact that it emerged decades ago as a topic of academic research, women’s history is often marginalized in Mormon history and in the wider discipline. Its prominence in this program is a step towards creating a more robust Mormon history community. We would like to invite everyone to a panel discussion during the Membership Luncheon on Friday, June 8, 2018, on the experience of female scholars in the Mormon History Association. We hope that you enjoy the program. It has been a labor of love.

WELCOME TO BOISE 3 Welcome to Boise, once called the “Athens of the sagebrush.” We hope you enjoy Boise’s hometown feel while participating in the 2018 Mormon History Association conference. Latter-day Saints have a long history in Idaho’s development. In 1855, Brigham Young sent settlers to the Salmon River country to establish Fort Lemhi amidst the Bannock, Shoshone, and Nez Perce. The fort was abandoned a few years later. In the late 1850s, Latter-day Saints started colonizing what became southern Idaho. A land survey in 1872 revealed they were living in the southern portion of Idaho Territory. In the 1880s the Idaho Legislature passed the “Idaho Test Oath,” which disenfranchised Latter-day Saints. They were not allowed to vote again until after the LDS Church officially abandoned polygamy in 1890. Boise is defined as much by its geography as it is the people who have inhabited the area. This temperate valley is the ancestral homeland of the Shoshone and the place of their annual trading fair. They hunted in the valley and foothills, caught salmon in the Boise River, and used the hot springs near Castle Rock for healing. In addition to the river and the surrounding foothills, Boise is defined by a series of “benches,” or geologic formations that “step” out of the river valley. Oregon trail emigrants took two routes through what would become Boise—some took a route along the first bench, while others descended to the valley along the river. Very few emigrants stopped in the area, intent on their Oregon destination. Boise has the unique experience of being settled from a west to east pattern where former Oregon Trail emigrants backtracked looking for other opportunities. After gold was found in the Boise Basin and Owyhee mountains, President Lincoln formed Idaho Territory in March 1863, and the establishment of the city of Boise followed on July 7, 1863. While Latter-day Saints did not found the city of Boise, they were involved in its designation as the capital of Idaho Territory. Authorized as the capital in 1864, many cities in the territory made attempts to change that appointment. One attempt in 1885 was thwarted by Latter-day Saints. Charles W. Nibley, who later served in the LDS Church’s First Presidency, used his political power to persuade the Mormon delegation in the legislature to use their five votes to appropriate $80,000 for a permanent capital building in Boise City. While the building was not constructed for another twenty years, these Mormon votes helped solidify Boise as the capital of Idaho Territory and later, the State of Idaho. During your visit to the “City of Trees,” save some time to visit one of our historical parks (Julia Davis Park or Ann Morrison Parks are great candidates), hike on the greenbelt or one of our Ridge to Rivers trails, and eat at one of our fine dining establishments downtown while you soak in our summer climate and the history that surrounds us.
