SUMMARY:St. Paul - Armed With Language: Film Talk
DESCRIPTION:In the height of WWII\, Historic Ft. Snelling was home to a little-known Military Intelligence Service Language School (MISLS). Thousands of Nisei men and women (second generation Japanese Americans) were trained as linguists and translators and played a crucial role in helping the U.S. to end the war. They served in the U.S. military despite the fact that tens of thousands of Americans of Japanese descent were being imprisoned in concentration camps for the supposed security risk they posed to the country.  \nTheir story is shared in the 2021 TPT documentary\, Armed With Language. Join producer Katie O’Rourke as she engages the film’s writer David Mura\, and Karen Tanaka Lucas who is featured in the film\, in a reflective conversation\, a year on from its debut. Along with viewing some of the film footage\, Katie\, David and Karen will explore why this history has remained so hidden from public knowledge\, their personal stories and connections with MISLS\, and the complicated histories that intertwine at the site of Historic Ft. Snelling. The conversation will end with a Q&A session with audience members.  \nHosted by Historic Ft. Snelling\, in partnership with the Minnesota Historical Society\, TPT Twin Cities\, and the Twin Cities Chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL). This is a free event. \nRegistration\nDoors of the Plank Museum and Visitors Center at Historic Fort Snelling will open at 5:15 p.m.; the event will begin at 6:00 p.m.in the Event Space on the second floor; audience members are invited to bring their curiosity and questions to share with the speakers. \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:St. Paul - Objects of War: A Storytelling Circle
DESCRIPTION:Join the Minnesota Humanities Center on Saturday\, November 5 at 10:30 a.m. for a storytelling circle centered around “Objects of War.” Whether dog tags of a family member lost in service\, a good luck charm kept by a soldier\, or a family heirloom that traveled across the world by a refugee\, objects can hold deep meaning for those who have been impacted by war.  \nParticipants are invited to bring their own object to share that helps them tell the story of their own connection to war\, whether direct or indirect. Moderated by a Veteran and a refugee\, the conversation will examine why we hold on to certain material objects\, and how they can help us better understand the human experience of war. Noted photographer Xavier Tavera will be on hand to photograph interested participants with their objects. Co-sponsored by the Minnesota Historical Society and the Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans. \nRegistration\nRegistration is required for this free event. Open to the public; lunch will be provided.  \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:Learning in Community: Hmong St. Paul
DESCRIPTION:There are nearly 300\,000 Asian Minnesotans\, more than 5% of our state’s population. Hmong\, Lao\, Cambodian\, and Vietnamese make up about 60% of the Asian population in Minnesota. Build your cultural understanding and awareness as you immerse yourself within St. Paul’s vibrant Hmong community through an interactive\, in-person experience. The day will begin and end at the Minnesota Humanities Center. We will travel by bus to Hmong Cultural Center’s new storefront museum for a tour and special presentation. We will then visit the iconic HmongTown Marketplace (a market of 125 small businesses and food vendors) where we will be greeted by the owner to learn about his story and have a guided tour of the market. There will be time for independent shopping and lunch. \nThis is a collaboration with Hmong Cultural Center and HmongTown Marketplace. \nSpace is limited to 50 participants. \nK-12 educators will receive 4 clock hours. \nPlease note: Registration cost does not include food. Participants are encouraged to support the financial recovery of small businesses by making purchases from the businesses they learn about on the tour.
