SUMMARY:Golden Valley – Kumbayah The Juneteenth Story (Reception and Evening Performance)
DESCRIPTION:In 2021\, Juneteenth was written into law as a national day of observance\, yet many people are unfamiliar with its meaning and the insight it offers in addressing current social injustice. Minnesota Humanities Center is honored to collaborate with Sweet Potato Comfort Pie and community to bring the significance of this day to life. \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 – when news was deliberately withheld that Black people were no longer to be kept as slaves in this country. 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. \nAlthough interpretation is best suited for ages 8 and up\, children of all ages are welcome to attend. A special reception with light refreshments and emphasis on the significance of voting precedes the 7:00 p.m. show from 5:30 p.m. to 6:50 p.m. \nPerformances are free to attend\, but registration is required. \nRegistration\nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org \n  \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:The Great Northern Festival – Learning from Place: Bdote
DESCRIPTION:Image detail is from the Minneapolis (Village of Many Lakes) & St Paul (Village along the White Cliffs) map created by artist Marlena Myles. \nLearning from Place: Bdote is an immersive experience offered by the Minnesota Humanities Center that invites participants to visit\, inhabit\, and expand their understanding of Twin Cities sites with deep significance to Dakota people. Participants learn from Dakota community members 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. Participants 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 to action and further learning. \nEvent Content Leads\nRamona Kitto Stately is an enrolled member of the Santee Sioux Nation.
