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.

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.
