Dakota–U.S. War of 1862 Symposium | 5 Sarah Weston

Description

The Dakota–U.S. War of 1862: A Symposium of Remembrance examines the lasting consequences of the violent and divisive war that led to the exile of the Dakota people from their homeland. The program explores the subject from a variety of perspectives, with attention to the role of broken treaties, the effects on the community and Dakota history after the war, memory and multigenerational impacts, efforts at reconciliation and healing, and how cultural institutions address the Dakota War in partnering with the Dakota people. In this segment Sarah Weston speaks on "The Making of Dakota 38." Sarah Weston—who co-directed, filmed , and edited "Dakota 38"—is an enrolled member of the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe. A multimedia artist, she received her certificate in filmmaking from the New York Film Academy. Weston was a writer and editorial assistant for "The Dakota/Lakota Journal." She is currently filming a feature-length documentary about her tribe's decision to legalize and sell marijuana on their reservation. The symposium was webcast live and recorded at the Rasmuson Theater of the National Museum of the American Indian on November 19, 2015. http://nmai.si.edu/explore/exhibitions/item/?id=947
