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. Her educational background includes a BA in Dakota Art and Culture\, and a MAE-Teacher Leadership.

Join our CEO\, Kevin Lindsey\, as he hosts a conversation with Carolyn Holbrook and David Mura about their new anthology\, We Are Meant to Rise: Voices for Justice from Minneapolis to the World. This brilliant and rich gathering of voices on the American experience of this past year and beyond\, from Indigenous writers and writers of color from Minnesota\, not only provides valued witness to our present but also speaks to our collective future. This collection of stories is an ideal lens to focus pressing themes central to this year’s conference. Their conversation will include how dominant cultural narratives about race\, gender\, or class impact teaching and relationships with students\, how educators navigate these dominant narratives\, and how educators may question and resist persistent cultural narratives that reproduce inequality in the classroom. \nParticipate in-person at the Minnesota Humanities Center or virtually via ZOOM. \nRegistration\nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED \nLEARN MORE URL:https://www.mnhum.org/event/mnwe-2022/ LOCATION:Minnesota Humanities Event Center\, 987 Ivy Avenue East\, Saint Paul\, MN\, 55106\, United States CATEGORIES:Books, Poetry, and Literature,Professional Development ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.mnhum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/event_mn_we.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Casey DeMarais":MAILTO:casey@mnhum.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220617T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220617T120000 DTSTAMP:20260418T182845 CREATED:20220504T051656Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230712T140759Z UID:10000254-1655460000-1655467200@www.mnhum.org SUMMARY:Golden Valley - Kumbayah The Juneteenth Story (Morning 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. \nPerformances are free to attend\, but registration is required. \nRegistration\nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org \n  \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED URL:https://www.mnhum.org/event/kumbayah-the-juneteenth-story-morning/ LOCATION:Breck School\, 123 Ottawa Avenue North\, Golden Valley\, MN\, 55422\, United States CATEGORIES:Free,Immersive Experiences,Juneteenth,Kid Friendly,Kumbayah,Professional Development,Public Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.mnhum.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/event_kumbayah_juneteenth.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Rose McGee":MAILTO:rose@mnhum.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220617T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220617T210000 DTSTAMP:20260418T182845 CREATED:20220504T051118Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230712T140824Z UID:10000253-1655487000-1655499600@www.mnhum.org 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.

During this interactive workshop we will investigate Black freedom struggles from around the world\, paying special attention to these Black forms of struggle as expressions of Black agency and self-definition. The workshop will help broaden our understanding of Black freedom struggles beyond well-known moments like the emancipation of slavery and Juneteenth\, as we delve into topics like maroon communities\, work stoppages\, and self-defense from locations including the U.S.\, Brazil\, Cuba\, and Angola. We will also emphasize how historical struggles continue to influence present-day politics. Through large and small group projects and hands-on activities we will think through how to best incorporate these often-unknown struggles into classroom curriculum. Participants will have access to new resources\, materials\, and tools to help improve student learning in the classroom. \n  \nScholar Adam Bledsoe is an assistant professor in the Geography\, Environment & Society Department at the University of Minnesota. Born and raised in the Twin Cities\, Adam’s intellectual and political commitments revolve around the ways in which Afro-Diasporic communities analyze and critique dominant forms of politics\, while also conceiving of\, and enacting\, their own political formations. His work has taken him around the United States\, the Caribbean\, Central America\, and South America\, where he has learned from\, and exchanged ideas with\, a variety of Black communities. \n  \nLead Teacher Lauretta Dawolo Towns earned her B.A. in English and American & Racial Multicultural Studies with a Media Studies minor at St. Olaf College in 2004. Her professional background is in community and ethnic media\, specializing in coverage of underrepresented and underserved populations. In 2016\, she received a Master of Arts in Education from Augsburg University after earning a teaching license in Communication Arts and Literature. She currently teaches 8th grade English Language Arts at Roseville Middle School\, and also teaches in the Adult Basic Education program in the same district.

Through the lens of racialized special education\, this session will examine a broad spectrum of adult data in the areas of tolerability\, efficacy\, mindset\, and relationships. We will demonstrate that when we refuse to look at school wide or adult data\, we run the risk of believing students and families are inherently flawed. Educators most often find these “flaws” in our minoritized students and communities. When we refuse to interrogate the system\, we believe it is functioning appropriately. We transfer the “problems of a system” to create the “problem student.” \nDuring this workshop\, participants will: \n\nDeepen their knowledge of the racialized history of special education and make connections to current practice.\nReflect on current instructional practices and teachability factors in order to improve support for effective instruction. \nIdentify current sorting and removal practices within their own districts that create inequitable outcomes within both special and general education.\nConsider how the implementation of tools or practices have either replicated or changed student outcomes.\n\nThis event is open to all Minnesota superintendents\, school board members\, equity directors\, principals\, district-level administrators\, special education directors and assistant directors. \nRegistration fee includes: \n\nContinental breakfast\, lunch\, and snack\n6 CEUs\nA copy of “The Unteachables: Disability Rights and the Invention of Black Special Education” ($30 value)\n\nDr. Keith Mayes is an Associate Professor at the University of Minnesota; former chair of the Department of African American & African Studies; and the Horace T.

As a part of the commemorative events\, The Historic Bethel Baptist Church of Birmingham\, Alabama\, is pleased to announce its conference on individual and community healing. \nThe conference theme is “There IS A Balm in Gilead: Healing From The Events of 1963.” The conference will take place September 12-14\, 2023 in Birmingham\, Alabama. What happened here in 1963 changed not only the city but inspired similar movements for human and civil rights across the nation and around the world. \nThose directly and indirectly involved in the Modern Civil Rights Movement were significantly affected by the events of the 1950s and 1960s. Survivors still express remorse and weep whenever they share what they experienced during that time. The goal of the conference is to open doors of communication that will help foster healing for those victims directly and indirectly as well as the community as we unpack a legacy of hurt and shame. It has been well documented that the physical\, emotional\, mental\, and intergenerational effects of trauma have lasting effects on individuals and communities. There IS A Balm in Gilead! \nThe There IS A Balm in Gilead Healing Conference is hosted by the Historic Bethel Baptist Church Community Restoration Fund\, The Minnesota Humanities Center\, and the Alabama Humanities Alliance. \nRegistration\nRegistration for this event has closed.

Do you know whose ancestral lands your school is now occupying? In this session of Excavating Excellence: A Speaker Series and Cohort offered by Sourcewell\, we will excavate a perspective that is too often minimized\, misrepresented\, or sometimes completely absent: the perspective of our nation’s first people. Join us as we hear first-hand accounts from a panel of regional\, native voices sharing about schooling experiences. In addition to our panel\, we will hear from experts from the Minnesota Humanities Center and Understand Native Minnesota as they lead us through how to find and implement resources from an Indigenous lens that honors the past\, present\, and future. \nThis session is part of the Excavating Excellence Speaker Series offered by Sourcewell. \nRegistration\nRegistration Questions: education@sourcewell-mn.gov \nRegister Now URL:https://www.mnhum.org/event/indigenous-lens/ LOCATION:Sourcewell\, 202 12th Street NE\, Staples\, MN\, 56479\, United States CATEGORIES:K-12 Education,Professional Development ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.mnhum.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/event_indigenous_lens.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Eden Bart":MAILTO:eden@mnhum.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240213T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240213T200000 DTSTAMP:20260418T182845 CREATED:20231220T202205Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240209T224407Z UID:10000335-1707847200-1707854400@www.mnhum.org SUMMARY:Online - Refraction: A Gender and Sexuality Discussion Series DESCRIPTION:Session 1: Book Bans and the Freedom to Read\nIssues related to gender and sexuality continue to be paramount in many areas\, including politics\, law\, health care\, parenting\, identity\, and social justice. In this three-part discussion series\, we will consider how gender and sexuality are refracted\, or how their meaning and social expression are changing and moving as we think through the topics of book bans\, transgender rights\, and masculinity. \nBooks continue to be banned or challenged across the nation\, and Minnesota is not exempt in that respect. Book bans have risen by a third over the past year in public schools\, and many of these bans are targeting LGBTQ+ characters\, themes\, and intersectional identities. This session of Refraction: A Gender and Sexuality Discussion Series will examine the controversy over sexuality and book bans and provide an opportunity to hear directly from authors whose work has been challenged. Quatrefoil Library\, a library and queer gathering space in the Twin Cities\, will be in conversation with J.J. Austrian\, author of Worm Loves Worm\, Trung Le Nguyen\, author of The Magic Fish\, and Junauda Petrus\, author of The Stars and the Blackness Between Them. \nWhat you can expect from this series: \n\nScholars\, experts\, community members\, and authors will share what the landscape looks like nationally and in Minnesota\, as well as talk about their personal experiences and perspectives. \nEach session will have a resource list of articles\, books\, and organizations to help you gain a deeper understanding of the issues at hand.\nEngage in small and large group discussions as well as exploring ways to effect change and take action.\n\nRegistration\nRegistration is required.

In this three-part discussion series\, we will consider how gender and sexuality are refracted\, or how their meaning and social expression are changing and moving as we think through the topics of book bans\, transgender rights\, and masculinity. \nMany experts agree that the men and boys of the United States are not ok. By many measures they are falling behind and many of the impacts are less widely talked about. This session of Refraction: A Gender and Sexuality Discussion Series will seek to pull apart the term toxic masculinity and look instead at detoxing masculinity. Hamline Professor Ryan Jerome LeCount will talk about masculinity and its social expression\, particularly in the area of politics and social change in Minnesota and the United States. He will be joined by author Jeremy Norton\, who recently published Trauma Sponges\, a first-hand account of his experience working as an EMT in the emergency response sector\, and what it means for a male-dominated industry to be both full of bravura heroics and deal with intense trauma on a daily basis. \nWhat you can expect from this series: \n\nScholars\, experts\, community members\, and authors will share what the landscape looks like nationally and in Minnesota\, as well as talk about their personal experiences and perspectives. \nEach session will have a resource list of articles\, books\, and organizations to help you gain a deeper understanding of the issues at hand.\nEngage in small and large group discussions as well as exploring ways to effect change and take action.\n\nRegistration\nRegistration is required.
