Are you interested in what a tribal leader might have to say about his people?

Did you know that one of the ancient civilizations of the southwest was right here in metropolitan Phoenix?

Have you ever wondered what the prehistoric picture on a rock means?

The answers to these questions and more can be found in our Guild Presents program. You’ll find information on historic and modern events, the arts, various tribal cultures, travel possibilities, and the current social and political scene.

In order to stay fresh and current we think it’s important to continue our education. To that end, the Guild has implemented our Heard Guild Presents Lectures. Speakers are often leaders in their fields and very knowledgeable about their subjects. Best of all, these lectures are free and open to the public. All lectures are held at Heard Central, 2301 N. Central Avenue, Phoenix.
