SUMMARY:The Great Northern Festival – Learning from Place: Bdote
DESCRIPTION:Expand your understanding of the Twin Cities with a guided walk of sites with deep significance to Dakota people. Led by Dakota community members\, participants will be encouraged to reconsider their relationship to land\, water\, sky\, and all life—including other humans—through stories and perspectives that are often left out of our state’s history. \nBdote is a Dakota word that generally means “where two waters come together.” The bdote where Ȟaȟáwakpa (Mississippi River) and the Mnísota Wakpá (Minnesota River) come together is central to Dakota spirituality and history. \nParticipants will leave with a deeper understanding about Dakota people’s relationship to the place we now call Minnesota and will be encouraged to put newfound knowledge into action and further learning. \nPlan Your Experience: This event will begin at the Thomas C. Savage Visitor Center and primarily be outdoors\, so dress accordingly. A Minnesota state parks vehicle permit is required (one-day permits are available for $7 and can be purchased online or at any Minnesota state park office). \nRegistration\nRegistration for this event must be made through the Great Northern Festival website. \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:Minneapolis - Kumbayah the Juneteenth Story
DESCRIPTION:Minnesota Humanities Center & Northrop Present: Kumbayah the Juneteenth Story\nMinnesota Humanities Center and Northrop are proud to bring Kumbayah the Juneteenth Story to the Twin Cities in collaboration with Sweet Potato Comfort Pie\, The Liberal Arts Engagement Hub\, and local organizations. In 2021\, Juneteenth was written into law as a national day of observance. Following\, on February 3rd\, 2023\, Juneteenth became an official state holiday in Minnesota. Although awareness has grown\, many people are still unfamiliar with why we celebrate Juneteenth and the insight it offers in addressing current social injustice. \nKumbayah the Juneteenth Story Performance\nKumbayah the Juneteenth Story\, written by Rose McGee\, is a 90-minute fictitious\, two-act play that addresses a factual and traumatic time in our history was deliberately withheld that the Civil War was over and Black people were no longer to be kept as slaves with states in rebellion. Storytelling and music weave together mesmerizing scenes. Although tragedy is depicted\, this play within a play is tremendously uplifting. The story begins with a Prologue set in the early 1800s in a small West African village where a young mother and her small son are being abducted from their home by slave catchers. Act One: Scene One is set in present time in a popular North Minneapolis soul-food restaurant where a group of youths and adults ultimately end up discussing what Juneteenth means. Before long they all agree to attend a play about Juneteenth. The story then shifts into 1863 on the Turner Plantation in Tyler\, Texas with the character Frederick Douglass as Narrator. Immediately following the play\, Dr. Amelious Whyte\, University of Minnesota’s College of Liberal Arts Interim Director for Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion will moderate a 20-minute Q&A with cast\, bringing the play back to present time. \nInterpretation is best suited for ages 8 and up. \nJoin us for pre-show activities starting at 10:30 a.m. \nAmerican Sign Language (ASL) interpretation services will be available at this event.  \nFunding for this project is provided in part by Thrivent\, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota\, the African American Leadership Forum\, the League of Women Voters of Minnesota\, Minnesota Association for Black Lawyers\, Mortenson\, Mutual of America\, and The University of Minnesota Imagine Fund. \nThank you to our partners: Northrop\, Sweet Potato Comfort Pie\, The Liberal Arts Engagement Hub\, National Endowment for the Humanities\, and Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund \nRegistration\nRegistration for the performance through the Northrop Box Office. \nRegistration Questions: umntix@umn.edu \nRegister Now \n\nFunders and Supporters

SUMMARY:St. Paul – Learning from Place: Bdote
DESCRIPTION:Learning from Place: Bdote is an immersive experience that brings participants to sites of great significance to Dakota people in the Twin Cities. Participants will learn from Dakota community members through stories and histories that have often been left out of our state’s history. This experience is open to the public and is particularly beneficial for educators who want to include new perspectives in their history curriculum.  \nLearning from Place: Bdote will begin at Fort Snelling State Park (parking permit is required). After a break for “lunch on your own\,” we will meet at Indian Mounds Regional Park\, followed by a visit to the Pilot Knob Preservation Site. We will be outside the entire time. Participants need to provide their own transportation\, lunch\, snacks\, and beverages.  \nYour co-leads: Ramona Kitto Stately and Marlena Myles \nRamona Kitto Stately is an enrolled member of the Santee Sioux Dakhóta Nation.

Her art brings modernity to Indigenous history\, languages and oral traditions while using the land as a teacher.
