Dakota–U.S. War of 1862 Symposium | 6 Q & A

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, the symposium presenters return to the stage to take questions from moderator Joe D. Horse Capture and members of the audience. The panel includes Gwen Westerman, author and professor, College of Arts and Humanities, Minnesota State University, Mankato; Tamara St. John, tribal archivist, Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate; Ben Gessner, collections associate, American Indian and Fine Art Collections at Minnesota Historical Society; and Sarah Weston, co-director of "Dakota 38." 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
