SUMMARY:St. Paul – Celebrating Native Language and Culture Through the Joy of Games
DESCRIPTION:Put the cellphones away and join us for an evening of fun\, food\, and cultural connection. This National Native American Heritage Month\, the Minnesota Humanities Center welcomes Tony Drews and Nashke Native Games for a lively\, intergenerational game night. \nUnlike mainstream board games that reflect dominant cultural experiences\, Nashke Native Games center Ojibwe language\, stories\, and values\, offering a playful way to engage with culture\, strengthen family and community bonds\, and support language preservation. The evening begins with a light dinner from Trickster Tacos and conversation from 6:00–6:30 p.m.\, followed by games starting at 6:30 p.m. \nAs part of the evening\, guests will also have a chance to participate in a raffle for prizes\, including items from Nashke Native Games and books from Native American Lives\, the Minnesota Humanities Center’s biography series highlighting Native voices. One title\, “Charles Albert Bender: National Baseball Hall of Fame Pitcher\,” tells the story of Bender and his passion for baseball – a reminder that games\, in all forms\, bring people together. \nEducators and cultural leaders will discover practical ideas for integrating play into classrooms and community work. Whether you come with family\, friends\, or on your own\, you’ll leave with new words\, fresh insights\, and a deeper appreciation for the power of play in preserving culture and fostering connection. Everyone is welcome—families\, educators\, and community members ages 10 and up. \nK-12 Educators will receive 2 clock hours. \nRegistration\nRegistration for this event has SOLD OUT. Please join the waitlist. If a spot becomes available\, we will contact you in the order received. \nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org \nJoin the Waitlist
