Prescott (Yavapai: ʼWi:kwatha Ksikʼita; English pronunciation: PRES-kət is a city in Yavapai County, Arizona, United States. According to the 2010 Census, the population of the city is 39,843. The city is the county seat of Yavapai County. In 1864 Prescott was designated as the capital of the Arizona Territory, replacing the temporary capital at Fort Whipple. The Territorial Capital was moved to Tucson in 1867. Prescott again became the Territorial Capital in 1877, until Phoenix became the capital in 1889.
The towns of Prescott Valley, 7 miles east; Chino Valley, 16 miles north; Dewey-Humboldt, 13 miles east, and Prescott, together comprise what is locally known as the Quad-City area.

Combined with these smaller communities the area had a population of 103,260 as of 2007. Prescott is the center of the Prescott Metropolitan Area, defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as all of Yavapai County.

Some motor homes have two furnaces and some have one. They should be located on one of the sides of the unit. In the shape of a medium sized rectangle. This compartment will also have a grill and it does stay hot. In order to open it up, remove the screws, remove the first door, and then there will be another one that just comes down as well. Then you will be at the control board located usually to the left of the compartment, you will also see your blower motor and your burner. First thing you want to do is check the connection on the control board and make sure there is no build up or corrosion. If there is you can take your canned air and clean it out, then just plug it back in and see if it works then. If it doesn't you want to go to your igniter and make sure it has a good connection and follow across and start checking all your connections and make sure they are all tight and secure. Blow air into your burner assembly to get all the buildup out. Then you want to test it again. If you hear a clicking noise it means that igniter is trying to light. If there is no clicking noise then more than likely you have a bad igniter or a bad board and you can pick up those parts and change them out yourself. If it is clicking and not lighting you need to take it in and have it looked at by a

FAKE NATIVES ? THESE INDIAN'S AREN'T REAL THE GREAT AMERICAN COVERUP
It began in 1921 when the Prescott Rodeo needed something to boost attendance. A group of local businessmen came up with the idea of staging a snake dance using live rattlesnakes and patterned after Hopi rituals. They dressed in fancy costumes and were such a hit that they saved the rodeo. Their original intent was to perform a sort of burlesque show, but later the dancers got serious, broke away from the rodeo and began researching Indian ceremonial dances that they would use in their own performances. They did make one change, however — they used bull snakes instead of rattlers.
For the next six decades, the annual Smoki performances were staged before sellout crowds. But the demise started in the 1980s when young Native Americans began protesting the dances on the grounds that they insulted their traditions. Adding to that, the crowds started getting smaller which resulted in financial shortcomings. By the early 1990s, the Smoki People were only a memory.EDGE PSYCHOTIC/ MYTHS LEGENDS AND LIES is a unsolved network searching for age old questions of the life we live.

The Dance Of The Snakes (1932)
Down in Arizona, the last remnants of the once great Smoki tribe gather for their tribal rites - M/S of a group of American Indians performing a traditional ritual. They are dressed in traditional costumes and wear body paint.
The inevitable Medicine Men... M/S of a group of men wearing ornate masks emerging from a primitive building. They walk into a clearing. The Katcina...or dance to their Ancestors. Various shots of the Medicine Men performing their dance. At the sacred spring they invoke the Spirit of the Waters - M/S of the tribesmen crouching beside a small spring.
Finally, the Smoki braves perform the sacred Dance of the Snakes - their appeal to the Gods for rain...(The first time ever shown to white men.) Tribesmen perform their rain dance holding snakes.
Was an item in Eve's Film Review issue number 587.
Amendment November 2015: A visitor to the site has provided us with the following information. The “Smoki” were a white fraternal organization in Prescott, Arizona that performed these dances for the local rodeo as a means of fundraising for their club. Oblivious to pleas from the local Puebloan peoples to desist, the mummery continued well into the 1990s. Therefore this film is not legitimate Native activity.

Craters & Freighters Phoenix Moves, Ships and Installs Senator Goldwater Statue
Craters & Freighters Phoenix was selected to oversee the moving, shipping and installation of a 1,700 lb, eight-foot tall bronze statue of Senator Barry Goldwater and its 30 granite base, which now stand tall in our State Capitol. In the coming months we will uninstall the statue, bring it back to our shop, then convey the statue to its final destination in Statuary Hall in Washington D.C.
Our crew picked up the bronze statue, which took Arizona artist Deborah Copenhaver-Fellows more than 27 months to create, from the Petersen Creations foundry in Prescott, Arizona. It was carefully secured and lifted off its marble base with a forklift and then positioned on a custom pallet. After the statue was wrapped securely, we lifted it up into the truck and nailed the pallet to the floor.
In a collaborative effort with Tempe Crane we orchestrated the statue's installation at the Arizona State Capitol. First, we laid down wooden boards to protect the historic tile floor from the weight of the statue. After the statue and base were wheeled in, an elaborate gantry system was erected in the rotunda in order to hoist the statue onto its granite base. It took 6 men to lift Goldwater to a standing position. Once in place, a parachute was draped over the Goldwater statue to conceal it before its official unveiling.
This video chronicles our work on the project to date. It's set to Native American flute music as Goldwater had a deep connection with Arizona's Smoki Indians, who made him an honorary chief. The bronze statue actually has a Smoki tattoo on its left forearm from the ceremony. Equally interesting is that the parachute which draped the statue was donated by Arizona's National Guard, an organization founded by Goldwater.
We've had the privilege of working with some wonderful people including artist Deborah Copenhaver-Fellows and her husband- artist Fred Fellows, Arizona's Secretary of State Ken Bennett, Senator Adam Driggs, and the staff at the Arizona Capitol Museum and the Arizona Historical Advisory Commission, among many others.
Craters & Freighters Phoenix is honored to have been entrusted with a piece of Arizona's history and be a part of this momentous event.
