His book Raza Sí\, Migra No: Chicano Movement Struggles for Immigrant Rights in San Diego shows how generations of Mexican-origin activists confronted the crisis over the “illegal alien” by building community across differences in citizenship and national affiliation. Centering San Diego as both an urban and border space\, his work highlights challenges to deportation-oriented policies from 1968 to 1986 through the lens of Chicano self-determination. He is currently developing new projects on solidarity across African American\, Chicana/o/x\, and Puerto Rican movements\, exploring how regional contexts shaped Black-Brown/Afro-Latinx diasporic alliances and revolutionary thought across the Midwest\, Texas\, California\, and New York.

SUMMARY:St. Paul - Teaching Bdote Educator Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Teaching Bdote Educator Workshop is designed for educators who have attended or plan to attend Learning from Place: Bdote and are preparing to incorporate the experience into their classroom or to lead their own classroom field trip. Whether you are looking for a refresher or preparing for your first teacher-led trip\, this workshop will provide the guidance\, resources\, and confidence you need. \nOffered in collaboration with Saint Paul Public Schools\, this interactive\, in-person session supports educators in aligning Bdote field trips with the 2021 Minnesota Social Studies Standards and the inquiry-based model of learning. Participants will also receive an overview of newly developed Bdote lesson plans\, including a closer look at one lesson that is nearing completion and explicitly aligned to the standards. These lessons are designed to support classroom learning before and after a Bdote field trip. \nThe workshop will be facilitated by Saint Paul Public Schools and Minnesota Humanities Center staff and will address common questions and anxieties that non-Indigenous educators may experience when teaching Dakota history\, grounding the work in Dakota voices and perspectives. \nRamona Kitto Stately (Santee Dakota) will share Dakota perspectives and guidance on teaching Dakota history with care. Participant reflections from classroom educators who have recently led Bdote field trips will be shared through short video segments from a previous Teaching Bdote session\, offering candid insights and practical guidance grounded in real classroom experience. \nParticipants will: \n\nLearn from recorded reflections and practical guidance from classroom educators on teaching Bdote\, preparing students\, and leading field trips.\nLearn from Dakota perspectives on centering Indigenous knowledge and place-based histories.\nExplore new and emerging Bdote lesson plans aligned to Minnesota Social Studies Standards.\nAccess resources and lesson materials to support both classroom learning and field trip planning.\n\nIntended Audience: While all are welcome\, this workshop is especially geared toward teachers in grades 4–7. \nK-12 educators will receive 3 clock hours upon completion of the workshop. \nContinental Breakfast will be provided. \nRegistration\nSaint Paul Public School teachers: Register using discount code SPPS26 to waive the fee. \nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org | Cancellation Policy \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Minneapolis - Sketches of Minnesota: Civic Community Comedy Tour
DESCRIPTION:MHC and the comedy team at Danger Boat Productions spent late summer and most of fall traveling to communities across Minnesota. They’ve taken stories from each town and put them into a hilarious sketch comedy revue. It’s like going along on the year-long Sketches of Minnesota road trip\, but you get to enjoy the highlights from the comfort of a theater seat…without the backseat driving. \nSketches of Minnesota is a traveling program designed to increase understanding and encourage conversations among people who might not know each other or have differing viewpoints\, by bringing neighbors together over a shared meal and improvisational comedy. These kinds of conversations are more crucial now than ever\, and we think that the program can facilitate essential healing within our Minnesota communities. \nSketches of Minnesota is presented in partnership with Danger Boat Productions \nRegistration\nThis event has been canceled. Please consider joining us in Minneapolis on March 11 or Rochester on March 13.
