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.
