SUMMARY:Partner Event: History Education\, Race\, and the Forging of Our National Identity
DESCRIPTION:Partner Event\nHistory Education\, Race\, and the Forging of Our National Identity\nwith Donald Yacovone\n\nSaturday\, March 9\, 2024 \n11:00 AM – 12:30 PM\nMinnesota History Center\n\n\n\nFor information see the MNHS page here \nSifting through an astounding array of textbooks from the colonial era through the 20th century\, Donald Yacovone reveals how Northern publishers perpetuated the pernicious myth of white supremacy through the teaching of American history. Yacovone’s newest book—Teaching White Supremacy—marshals a wealth of evidence to show how racial bias insidiously endured in our education system\, how it burrowed into the heart of our collective national identity\, and why the topic of race in education is still hotly contested today. Join us for an important reminder about the power of history to shape a nation\, for better or for worse. Public reception and book signings with Dr. Yacovone to follow. \nDonald Yacovone is a lifetime associate at Harvard University’s Hutchins Center for African and African American Research and has written and edited nine books\, including Teaching White Supremacy: America’s Democratic Ordeal and the Forging of Our National Identity. He won an NAACP Image Award (with Henry Louis Gates\, Jr.) for The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross and received the W.E.B. Du Bois Medal in 2013\, Harvard’s highest honor in African American studies.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Dakhóta Iápi
DESCRIPTION:History Revealed Special Program\nDakhóta Iápi (Dakota Language): Its History and Future\nwith Šišókaduta (Joe Bendickson)\, Dr. Rev. Clifford Canku Sr. and Heather Menefee\nModerated by Meredith Cummings\, RCHS editor\nThursday\, March 21\, 2024\, 7:00 pm\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. \nIn 2023\, Dakhóta language scholars from the University of Minnesota\, with their instructor Šišókaduta (Joe Bendickson)\, worked with Ramsey County Historical Society to write a brief history of Dakhóta iápi (language) in three parts. The piece begins with an early history of the language following settler coloni­zation and extending through the boarding school era. It continues with a collaborative segment highlighting current language initia­tives and the positive effects these have for both the Dakhóta and non-Indigenous communities in establishing themselves in Minnesota history. The article culminates with words of encourage­ment to Dakhóta language teachers and second-language learners from Dr. Rev. Clifford Canku Sr.\, one of the few remaining first-language Dakhóta speakers and a holder of traditional knowledge. \nŠišókaduta\, and graduate student Heather Menefee will participate in a panel discussion about the history of the language and current language revitalization efforts. \nImage: From Ramsey County History magazine. \nDr. Rev. Clifford Canku\, Sr. is the author and editor\, along with Michael Simon\, of The Dakota Prisoner of War Letters: Dakota Kaskapi Okicize Wowapi (2012). With Nicolette Knudson and Jody Snow\, he is also a creator of Tokaheya Dakota Iapi Kin/Beginning Dakota (2010). Canku earned a BA from the University of Minnesota at Morris\, and a master of divinity from the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary in Iowa. He has retired after many years as a professor of Dakhóta studies at North Dakota State University and as a Presbyterian minister. He continues to serve as a teacher\, elder\, and minister of the Sisseton Wahpeton Dakhóta Oyáte from his home at Kaksíza Háŋska. \nŠišókaduta (Joe Bendickson) is an enrolled member of the Sisseton Wahpeton Dakhóta Oyáte of Lake Traverse Reservation. He worked as a Dakhóta language instructor at the University of Minnesota for many years until recently\, when he began a full-time position as linguistic director and editor at Dakhóta Iápi Okhódakičhiye (DIO)\, a 501c3 nonprofit organization of dedicated Dakhóta community members\, language learners\, and speakers. DIO recently released Dakhód Iápi Wičhóie Wówapi\, the first Dakhóta language dictionary app with 28\,699 audio recordings. \nHeather Menefee is a student of Šišókaduta\, a staff member at Dakhóta Iápi Okhódakičhiye\, and a PhD candidate in history at Northwestern University. She has also worked as the teaching assistant for the Dakota Language Program at UMN\, where she continues to study the language and support other learners. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Never Trust a Thin Cook
DESCRIPTION:Never Trust a Thin Cook and Other Lessons from Italy’s Culinary Capital\nA Celebration of St. Paul’s Sister City: Modena\, Italy\nWith Eric Dregni\nThursday April 18\, 2024\, 3:30-4:30 pm\nBook Signing 4:30-5:00 pm\nConcordia Library\nIn Person Event\nFree \nRegister Here\n \nEric Dregni will share his food-obsessed chronicles of his three years in Italy\, celebrating Saint Paul’s sister city\, Modena. He will be available to sign his books after the program. \nI simply want to live in the place with the best food in the world. This dream led Eric Dregni to Italy\, first to Milan and eventually to a small\, fog-covered town to the north: Modena\, the birthplace of balsamic vinegar\, Ferrari\, and Luciano Pavarotti. Never Trust a Thin Cook is a classic American abroad tale\, brimming with adventures both expected and unexpected\, awkward social moments\, and most important\, very good food. \nParmesan thieves. Tortellini based on the shape of Venus’s navel. Infiltrating the secret world of the balsamic vinegar elite. Life in Modena is a long way from the Leaning Tower of Pizza (the south Minneapolis pizzeria where Eric and his girlfriend and fellow traveler Katy first met)\, and while some Italians are impressed that “Minnesota” sounds like “minestrone\,” they are soon learning what it means to live in a country where the word “safe” doesn’t actually exist—only “less dangerous.” Thankfully\, another meal is always waiting\, and Dregni revels in uncorking the secrets of Italian cuisine\, such as how to guzzle espresso “corrected” with grappa and learning that mold really does make a good salami great. \nWhat begins as a gastronomical quest soon becomes a revealing\, authentic portrait of how Italians live and a hilarious demonstration of how American and Italian cultures differ. In Never Trust a Thin Cook\, Eric Dregni dishes up the sometimes wild experiences of living abroad alongside the simple pleasures of Italian culture in perfect\, complementary proportions. \nEric Dregni is associate professor of English at Concordia University in St. Paul\, Minnesota\, and dean of the Italian Concordia Language Village\, Lago del Bosco. He is the author of several books\, including In Cod We Trust: Living the Norwegian Dream\, Minnesota Marvels: Roadside Attractions in the Land of Lakes\, and Midwest Marvels: Roadside Attractions across Iowa\, Minnesota\, the Dakotas\, and Wisconsin\, all published by the University of Minnesota Press.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Why We Left
DESCRIPTION:Why We Left: Untold Stories and Songs of America’s First Immigrants\nJoanna Brooks\n\nHistory Revealed Special Event\nThursday\, May 16\, 2024\, 7:00 pm\n\nRegister Here\n \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\nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library\, Ramsey County Libraries and Norway House. \nA grounded\, tender\, and mournful reckoning with the catastrophes that launched poor\, white Anglos into their role as itinerant foot soldiers for modern imperialism—now in paperback (May 2024) with a new preface. \nWhy We Left reveals the dislocation\, violence\, and deforestation that propelled seventeenth- and eighteenth-century working-class English emigration\, offering a powerful restorying of the journey to our present moment of precarity and rootlessness. Following American folk ballads back across the Atlantic\, Joanna Brooks shares a scholarly and personal account of the intergenerational traumas that shape the history of white Anglos on Turtle Island. \nJoanna Brooks’s ancestors were among the early waves of emigrants to leave England for North America. For generations\, they lived hardscrabble lives\, eking out subsistence in one place after another as they continually moved west in search of a better life. Why\, Brooks wondered\, did her people and countless other poor English subjects abandon their homeland for such unremitting hardship? The question leads her on a journey through an obscure dimension of American history. \nShe will share folk ballads such as “Edward\,” which reveals the influence of deforestation on the dislocation of early Anglo-American peasant immigrants\, and “The House Carpenter’s Wife\,” which emphasizes the impact of economic instability and the colonial enterprise on women. From these ballads\, tragic and heartrending\, Brooks uncovers an archaeology of the worldviews of America’s earliest immigrants. This tenth-anniversary edition includes a new preface and develops a haunting historical perspective on the ancestors we thought we knew. \nJoanna Brooks is an award-winning scholar and writer whose work tends to catastrophes of human belonging in American history. The author or editor of ten books on race\, religion\, colonialism\, and social movements\, her writing has been featured in global media\, including the BBC\, NPR\, the Daily Show\, CNN\, MSNBC\, and the Washington Post. \nWhy We Left is published by the University of Minnesota Press. \nRCHS is committed to presenting the stories and histories of all in our community\, and we are pleased to bring you tonight’s program. To that end\, in 2022\, we are working to bring you programs focused on our series\, “Making Minnesota” which will explore the often untold stories\, histories and experiences of the some of the world-wide immigrant\, African American and Indigenous communities that make up our most diverse county.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: The Rocks Will Echo Our Sorrow
DESCRIPTION:The Rocks Will Echo Our Sorrow: The Forced Displacement of the Northern Sámi\nwith Elin Anna Labba\nThursday\, May 23\, 2024\, 1:00 pm\nPlease note 1:00 pm time: Elin Anna Labba will be joining us from Sweden.\n \nIn partnership with Norway House and the East Side Freedom Library & Roseville Library. \nRegister 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\n\n\nThe deep and personal story—told through history\, poetry\, and images—of the forced displacement of the Sámi people from their homeland in northern Norway and Sweden and its reverberations today\nIn a remarkable blend of historical reportage\, memoir\, and lyrical reimagining\, Elin Anna Labba travels to northern Norway and Sweden\, the lost homeland of her ancestors\, to tell of the forced displacement of the Indigenous Sámi in the early twentieth century. Through stories\, photographs\, letters\, and joik lyrics\, she gathers a chorus of Sámi expression that resonates across the years\, evoking the nomadic life they were required to abandon and the immense hardship they endured. \n\nMore than a hundred years have passed since the Sámi were forcibly displaced from their homes in northern Norway and Sweden\, a hundred years since Elin Anna Labba’s ancestors and relations drove their reindeer over the strait to the mainland for the last time. The place where they lived has remained empty ever since. We carry our homes in our hearts\, Labba shares\, citing the Sámi poet Áillohaš. How do you bear that weight if you were forced to leave? In a remarkable blend of historical reportage\, memoir\, and lyrical reimagining\, Labba travels to the lost homeland of her ancestors to tell of the forced removal of the Sámi in the early twentieth century and to reclaim a place in history\, and in today’s world\, for these Indigenous people of northern Scandinavia. \nWhen Norway became a country independent from Sweden in 1905\, the two nations came to an agreement that called for the displacement of the Northern Sámi\, who spent summers on the Norwegian coast and winters in Sweden. This “dislocation\,” as the authorities called it\, gave rise to a new word in Sámi language\, bággojohtin\, forced displacement. The first of the sirdolaččat\, or “the displaced\,” left their homes fully believing they would soon return. Through stories\, photographs\, letters\, and joik lyrics\, Labba gathers a chorus of Sámi expression that resonates across the years\, evoking the nomadic life they were required to abandon and the immense hardship and challenges they endured: children left behind with relatives\, reindeer lost when they returned to familiar territory\, sorrow and estrangement that linger through generations. \n\nTo order The Rocks Will Echo Our Sorrow from our partner\, Subtext Books\, see the page here. \n\n  \n \n\nElin Anna Labba is a Sámi journalist and was previously editor-in-chief of the magazine Nuorat. She received Sweden’s August Prize for Best Nonfiction as well as the prestigious Norrland Literature Prize.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Finding Moses Dickson
DESCRIPTION:History Revealed: Finding Moses Dickson\nwith Karen Sieber\nThursday\, June 20\, 2024\, 7:00 pm\nPlease register for the Zoom event here: \nRegister Here\n \nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library. \nNew documentation places Moses Dickson\, one of the most well-known leaders of the Underground Railroad\, living in Minnesota during the 1850s. Despite being one of the most influential Black figures of the nineteenth century\, there has always been a gap in knowledge about the abolitionist’s whereabouts in the 1850s\, a period in which he was known to have led countless individuals to freedom and organized a massive slave rebellion. In celebration of Juneteenth\, historian Karen Sieber\, Director of the Finding Moses Initiative\, will give a talk on Dickson and his time in Minnesota and will provide insight into how Dickson’s story connects to both the local and the national Black freedom movements. She will also discuss a new initiative being launched around Dickson to examine the people\, places\, and moments of the nineteenth-century Black Midwest\, a collaboration between scholars across state lines. \nKaren Sieber is an award-winning scholar of riots and resistance\, Black history\, and labor history in the United States. She is best known as the creator of Visualizing the Red Summer\, part of the AP African American Studies curriculum\, and for her work in the Gayle King CBS documentary Tulsa 1921: An American Tragedy. Her work has appeared in Jacobin\, Yahoo\, MSN\, Minnesota History\, The Conversation\, PBS\, Smithsonian\, American Historical Association\, Labor\, and in the book Where Are the Workers?: Labor’s Stories at Museums and Historic Sites. For more on her work visit www.ksieber.com.

SUMMARY:Make-a-Flower Press July
DESCRIPTION:Register Here\n \nCome build a Flower Press at Gibbs Farm! Pressing flowers is an “old fashioned” craft that is coming back in style. This class is perfect for gardeners\, nature lovers and those who like to use natural materials in crafts and projects. You can use you dried pressed flowers in an endless variety of crafts (last year we decorated beeswax candles\, ornaments and cards) \nWe will walk you through the steps to measure\, drill and assemble your press. Participants will have the chance to safely use power drills. Absolutely no experience necessary\, staff will assist based on everyone’s skill and comfort level. \nAfter assembling our press we will head out on to the 8-acre site and collect a variety of flowers and foliage to press. This is a chance to observe familiar flowers and recognize the beauty of things we often overlook! Last year’s surprise favorites were strawberry leaves\, asparagus fronds\, creeping charlie and individual hydrangea petals! \nFinally\, we will get creative and use Mod Podge to decorate the presses using material collected at Gibbs! \nThis program is geared for adults and kids 12+. Younger children are welcome to attend with an adult\, but will need extra one-on-one help from their grown-up! We will have the materials to create one press per registration.
