SUMMARY:History Revealed: Connecting to Collections- Preservation for Who? 
DESCRIPTION:Connecting to Collections: Preservation for Who?   \nChris Rico\, Nienow Cultural Consultants \nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, September 21\, 2023\n7:00 pm \nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library and Ramsey County Libraries-Roseville \nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting: Zoom Registration Link\nRegistration is limited. You will receive a confirmation email after registering.\nFor questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nJoin Public Historian\, Archaeologist\, and Conservator\, Christopher Rico (M.HSPH) for a focused discussion on the topic of representation and access in museum collections and how to care for and preserve your personal collections like a museum conservator. In this program\, Christopher will talk about some of the social and cultural issues connected to collecting institutes\, how these issues effect different communities\, and how it has led to the growth of grassroots community preservation initiatives and a growing need for the sharing of resources and knowledge in preservation techniques. \nMany museums and collecting institutions task themselves with adding to and maintaining their collections of 3-D objects\, books\, paper files\, and the digital and physical archives which accompany them. This task is often made a central pillar of a collecting institution’s mission as it is held that through this process\, knowledges may be preserved\, access to them expanded\, and through interpretation new understandings created. However\, being that this practice is historically rooted to empire and colonialism\, there is an undeniable effect on the way in which this mission has been conducted. Furthermore\, additional factors within institutions affect how collections are managed and what is deemed worthy of collection. Among other effects\, this results in the exclusion of certain communities within collections\, barriers to access\, and questions about the accuracy of knowledge provided by collections and their interpretation. In response to these issues\, the practices of community archiving and grassroots preservation have grown exponentially in recent decades\, creating a need for access to complex resources and knowledges often held by or provided exclusively to collecting institutions. \nChris Rico has a robust and diverse field of experience in heritage studies spanning over the last six years. He obtained his master’s degree at the University of Minnesota in Heritage Studies and Public History and has been working in various community development positions since. His breadth of experience includes extensive archival use\, processing\, and research experience\, community driven and engaged public history projects\, oral histories\, and preservation and special collections management.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Prairie Imperialists
DESCRIPTION:Prairie Imperialists: The Indian Country Origins of American Empire\nKatherine Bjork\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, October 19\, 2023\, 7:00 pm\nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library & Roseville Library \nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting\, register on Zoom here. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. For questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nThe Spanish-American War marked the emergence of the United States as an imperial power. It was when the United States first landed troops overseas and established governments of occupation in the Philippines\, Cuba\, and other formerly Spanish colonies. But such actions to extend U.S. sovereignty abroad\, argues Katharine Bjork\, had a precedent in earlier relations with Native nations at home. In Prairie Imperialists\, Bjork traces the arc of American expansion by showing how the Army’s conquests of what its soldiers called “Indian Country” generated a repertoire of actions and understandings that structured encounters with the racial others of America’s new island territories following the War of 1898. \nPrairie Imperialists follows the colonial careers of three Army officers from the domestic frontier to overseas posts in Cuba and the Philippines. The men profiled—Hugh Lenox Scott\, Robert Lee Bullard\, and John J. Pershing—internalized ways of behaving in Indian Country that shaped their approach to later colonial appointments abroad. Scott’s ethnographic knowledge and experience with Native Americans were valorized as an asset for colonial service; Bullard and Pershing\, who had commanded African American troops\, were regarded as particularly suited for roles in the pacification and administration of colonial peoples overseas. After returning to the mainland\, these three men played prominent roles in the “Punitive Expedition” President Woodrow Wilson sent across the southern border in 1916\, during which Mexico figured as the next iteration of “Indian Country.” \nWith rich biographical detail and ambitious historical scope\, Prairie Imperialists makes fundamental connections between American colonialism and the racial dimensions of domestic political and social life—during peacetime and while at war. Ultimately\, Bjork contends\, the concept of “Indian Country” has served as the guiding force of American imperial expansion and nation building for the past two and a half centuries and endures to this day. \nKatharine Bjork is Professor of History at Hamline University and author of In the Circle of Dance: Notes of an Outsider in Nepal. \nPlease check out our partner Subtext Books\, located in downtown St. Paul and online at: https://subtextbooks.com/ for this and other History Revealed titles.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Defying the Silence
DESCRIPTION:Defying the Silence: A Chronicle of Resilience that Saved the World-Renowned Minnesota Orchestra\nJulie Ayer\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, November 30\, 2023\, 7:00 pm\nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library & Roseville Library \nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting\, register on Zoom here. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. For questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nIn this extraordinary example of how to unionize in the arts\, Julie Ayer reveals how some of the world’s finest musicians went from sitting in the Minnesota Orchestra to standing in the picket line . . . and how their city rallied around them.  The lockout that began on October 1\, 2012\, became the longest and most infamous work stoppage in American orchestral labor history.  What came to pass was a struggle for the very identity of an orchestra that had been at the heart of the Minnesota arts scene since it was founded in 1903. But the musicians didn’t feel despair–they felt defiance. And Twin Cities music lovers were ready to defend the orchestra alongside them. \nWith thirty-six years as a violinist in the Minnesota Orchestra\, Julie Ayer is the perfect voice to chronicle this powerful book about Minnesota history. She pairs firsthand accounts from personal connections with meticulous research and an intimate understanding of the institution itself. \nIn the face of adversity\, the musicians of the Minnesota Orchestra did what they do best–they defied the silence and brought the music back. \n \nJulie Ayer is a professional violinist\, arts advocate\, historian\, and author. A passionate lifelong musician\, she spent her thirty-six-year professional career in the Minnesota Orchestra\, including their ground-breaking tour to Cuba in 2015. Julie also was a member of the Houston Symphony\, Santa Fe Opera Orchestra\, and Sydney Symphony Orchestra. \nThroughout her career\, Ayer was involved in many orchestra committees\, including labor negotiations. Today\, Ayer is a member of Classica Chamber Players and plays regularly in the Twin Cities. She has presented workshops and spoken to a variety of groups\, including labor lawyers\, music students\, and colleagues. Julie has a master’s degree in music and is a graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. Her first book\, More Than Meets the Ear: How Symphony Musicians Made Labor History\, was reviewed in publications including the Boston Globe\, Star Tribune\, and International Musician.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Indian Wars Everywhere
DESCRIPTION:Indian Wars Everywhere\nStefan Aune\, PhD\, Visiting Assistant Professor of American Studies\, Williams College\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, January 18\, 2024\, 7:00 pm\n\nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library & Roseville Library \nLive presentation on Zoom- Register Here\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. For questions\, please email events@rchs.com\nFree and open to all. \n\nReferences to the Indian Wars\, those conflicts that accompanied US continental expansion\, suffuse American military history. From Black Hawk helicopters to the exclamation “Geronimo” used by paratroopers jumping from airplanes\, words and images referring to Indians have been indelibly linked with warfare. In “Indian Wars Everywhere\,” Stefan Aune shows how these resonances signal a deeper history\, one in which the Indian Wars function as a shadow doctrine that influences US military violence. The United States’ formative acts of colonial violence persist in the actions\, imaginations\, and stories that have facilitated the spread of American empire\, from the “savage wars” of the nineteenth century to the counterinsurgencies of the Global War on Terror. Ranging across centuries and continents\, “Indian Wars Everywhere” considers what it means for the conquest of Native peoples to be deemed a success that can be used as a blueprint for modern warfare.\nStefan Aune graduated from Macalester College in 2011 and earned a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan.  He is a historian of the global United States whose research examines the intersections of race\, colonialism\, and violence. He teaches courses in American Studies\, Native American and Indigenous Studies\, empire and US foreign policy\, critical theory\, environmental history\, and the history of violence. His writing has appeared in American Quarterly\, Pacific Historical Review\, and in the edited volume At War: The Military and American Culture in the Twentieth Century and Beyond. He is currently finishing a book manuscript titled Indian Wars Everywhere: Colonial Violence and the Shadow Doctrines of Empire\, which explores how the violence that accompanied US continental expansion has influenced global US militarism from the nineteneth century through the War on Terror. His research reflects on what it means for the conquest of Native peoples to be used as a blueprint for modern warfare. Prior to Williams\, Stefan spent three years as the Elihu Rose Scholar and a faculty fellow in the History Department at New York University.

SUMMARY:WWII History Round Table: The Viking Battalion
DESCRIPTION:The Dr. Harold C. Deutsch WWII History Round Table & History Revealed\nThe Viking Battalion: Norwegian American Ski Troopers in World War II \nwith Olaf Minge\, Dr. Kyle Ward and Erik Brun\nTuesday\, February 13\, 2024\nAt the Minnesota History Center\nProgram: 7:00 pm\nStudent Outreach: 5:45 pm\nParticipate in informal conversations with the authors and veterans on the program topic. \nRound Table admission is free • Parking $6/$4 MNHS members \nMinnesota History Center \nRound Table admission is free;\nParking $6/$4 MNHS members \nThe Minnesota History Center’s Market House Grab-n-Go will be open from 4–7 pm on Round Table evenings. Join us for a quick sandwich\, snack\, or beverage before the programs start. \nJoin the WWII History Round Table and RCHS  for a very special evening as authors and collaborators of The Viking Battalion\, Erik Brun\, Kyle Ward\, and Olaf Minge\, share a collection of biographies of the veterans from the 99th Battalion. The battalion was formed by Norwegian-Americans for ground operations in Norway\, which was later reconsidered. They showed great valor in the battles of Europe. \nHidden in the crevasses of World War II history is the story of the 99th Infantry Battalion (Separate*). A small unit that rarely gets any attention\, it is part of a fascinating story. Alongside battalions of Austrian\, Greek\, Filipino and Japanese Americans\, the Army decided to create an all Norwegian American battalion\, originally trained at Camp Hale\, Colorado\, along with the 10th Mountain Division\, with the original mission of liberating Norway. Their exploits during training brought them enough notoriety that members of the 99th were recruited to start the First Special Service Force and a branch of the OSS. Although they were not initially sent to Norway\, they would fight in Normandy\, across France and Belgium\, helped entrap the Germans at Aachen\, protected the city of Malmedy during the Battle of the Bulge (where they stopped an attack by Skorzeny and a SS Panzer Division)\, helped liberate Buchenwald\, guarded the Nazi treasures found in Merkers mine and finally served as the Honor Guard for King Haakon VII on his triumphant return to Norway. \nThe Viking Battalion: Norwegian American Ski Troopers in World War II tells the story of the 99th Infantry Battalion through an anthology of rarely\, if ever\, previously seen memoirs\, journals\, letters and newspaper articles written by or about the Viking soldiers. \n“What is engaging about this book is that you get to hear the authentic voices of the soldiers through their memoirs\, journal entries\, and letters. Some are long\, some are short\, but all are worth reading for the insights you get into the minds of the ordinary soldier and what catches his eye.” ― The Norwegian American \nPresenters & Editors\nErik Brun is the son of Christian Magnus From Brun\, a Norwegian immigrant and a rifleman in Company C\, 99th Infantry Battalion (separate*). Erik completed a thirty-year career as an Army Logistics Officer serving as a battalion commander and Group Support Operations Officer (SOO). He holds an MBA and Master’s Degree in Public History focused on researching the battalion’s saga and served as the president of the 99th Infantry Battalion Education Foundation from 2014 to 2023. \nOlaf Minge is the grandson of Captain Raymond K. Minge\, the Doctor attached to the 99th Infantry Battalion. He has been active in international service programs with a particular focus on clean water projects in Haiti. He has served on the board of several organizations\, including a regional chapter of the Norwegian American Chamber of Commerce. Olaf has been a Director of IT for a global Fortune 50 company. Olaf lives in Saint Paul\, Minnesota. \nKyle Ward is the Director of Social Studies Education and teaches classes about World War II\, at Minnesota State University\, Mankato. He earned his Ph.D. from Indiana State University and has written other books on military history and historiography. \n*The 99th  Infantry Battalion was created separate from any other formal military organization. They didn’t belong to a specific division or regiment\, at least not until January 1945 when they helped to create the 474th  Infantry Regiment (which oddly enough\, was also separate). This classification allowed for the higher command to plug them in anywhere they wanted\, which is what makes this unit so unique in their World War II involvements. They got to see and experience a lot more because of this classification\, for better or worse. This was also a title that the Veterans of this unit were very proud of. \nParking & Visitor Information for MNHS

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Heart of the Heartland
DESCRIPTION:The Heart of the Heartland: Norwegian American Community in the Twin Cities\nDavid C. Mauk\nHistory Revealed Special Event\nThursday\, February 15\, 2024\, 1:00 pm\nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library\, Ramsey County Libraries and Norway House \n\nLive presentation on Zoom. Register Here.\nPlease note 1:00 CST program time – Prof. Mauk will be joining us from Norway.\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. For questions\, please email events@rchs.com\nFree and open to all. \n\nAn in-depth look at the Norwegian American community of Minneapolis–St. Paul and its deep and complex role in the economic\, political\, and cultural life of the Twin Cities over more than 170 years. \nSince the earliest days of European settlement in the region\, tens of thousands of Norwegians have found their way to Minnesota. Many early arrivals settled in the cities\, while others who initially chose the countryside departed for urban settings after they had become accustomed to the ways of their adopted home. The growing Twin Cities became home to Norwegian immigrants and their migrating compatriots alike. \nThese Norwegian Americans took up employment in a range of fields. They also assembled in churches and charitable organizations\, carrying on homeland traditions even as they took on prominent roles in the larger urban community. Minnesotans of Norwegian descent in the twenty-first century may not speak their ancestral tongue\, but they lovingly uphold many cultural practices of their ancestral home. \nThe Heart of the Heartland brings together personal interviews\, demographic research\, and archival exploration to inform stories of assimilation\, ascendency\, and collaboration among Minnesota’s Norwegian Americans and their neighbors over 170 years. \nFrom the Minnesota Historical Society Press\, co-published with the Norwegian American Historical Association. \nDavid C. Mauk is the author of The Colony that Rose from the Sea: Norwegian Maritime Migration and Community in Brooklyn\, 1850-1910 and numerous articles about Norwegian American ethnicity. Now retired\, he taught American studies at the University of Oslo.
