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.

SUMMARY:Bemidji - Treaties\, Strategies\, and Traditionalism
DESCRIPTION:This talk foregrounds Indigenous perspectives\, specifically those of the Anishinaabeg of Minnesota and Quebec\, on treaty signing\, economic activities\, and the seasonal round. Comparing Native and White perspectives on treaty signing throws into sharp relief the divergent understandings\, cultural differences\, and foreclosed opportunities that characterized these encounters. Participants will examine petitions and treaties from the mid- and late nineteenth centuries and put them in conversation with newer scholarship that emphasizes the Native perspective and a contextual approach to analysis.  This presentation will also encourage participants to consider the importance of how we interpret these petitions and treaties in terms of writing an accurate and more comprehensive history as well as their juridical implications in front of a conservative U.S. Supreme Court that has recently veered decidedly to the right.   \nRaised in Massachusetts\, Dr. Dennis Fisher is a descendant of Algonquin and Nipissing Anishinaabeg from Quebec. He was taught by his late mentor Stan Dumont Whiteduck and Elders at Kitigan Zibi — the largest and oldest Algonquin reserve in Canada.  He is a veteran and served as an emergency room medic in the United States Air Force.  He holds a PhD in History as well as a doctoral graduate portfolio in Native American and Indigenous Studies.  He has recently had an article published in American Indian Quarterly titled\, “War\, Wampum\, and Recognition: Algonquin Transborder Political Activism During the Early Twentieth Century\, 1919-1931.”  He is currently under contract with the University of British Columbia Press to publish his upcoming work\, To Not Sell One Perch:  Algonquin Politics and Culture at Kitigan Zibi During the Twentieth Century.  He has previously taught at White Earth Tribal and Community College and is currently Assistant Professor of Indigenous Studies at Bemidji State University. \nRegistration\nThis event is free\, but registration is required. \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED
