SUMMARY:St. Paul – Telling My Story!
DESCRIPTION:This full day writing retreat is open to all members of the Black community\, writers at all levels and nonwriters alike. After a year and a half of conversations with 16 local writers from our Minnesota literary community\, including African Caribbean\, African American\, and those from multiethnic parentage as well as from the continent of Africa\, the Minnesota Black Publishing Arts Collaborative would like to engage the Black community in the process of naming strength and finding healing through writing. This opportunity will help provide a safe and comfortable space to start the writing process\, remove some of the barriers of confidence\, and provide a roadmap on where or how to start.   \nTo make the writing process accessible and enjoyable\, Ebony Adedayo (founder of the Aya Collective\, a space that centers the expertise and experience of Black women\, and program manager at the Jan Serie Center for Scholarship and Teaching at Macalester College) and Pamela Fletcher Bush (executive director of Saint Paul Almanac) will gently lead workshop participants in guided writing exercises and discussion that will demonstrate the love for writing and how it can be used as a tool.   \nBecause we know that stories humanize us\, the workshop will feature writers T. Aaron Cisco and Junauda Petrus-Nasah\, who will read their works to illustrate how using one’s unique voice to tell personal stories brings necessary healing. They have used the pen to help them process and heal from significant events that have interrupted and or impacted their lives.  \nThis writing retreat is being offered by the Minnesota Black Publishing Arts Collaborative in collaboration with the Minnesota Humanities Center.   \nContinental breakfast and lunch are included. A journal will be provided. Registration will be limited to 40 participants.  \nRegistration\nYou are welcome to register using promo code COMMUNITY to waive the fee if you wish. \nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org | MHC Cancellation Policy \nRegistration Deadline Date: Saturday\, April 16\, 2022 \n  \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS OFFERING HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:Online – Feeding Our Souls: The Essence of Black Joy
DESCRIPTION:It has been over a year since the murder of Mr. George Floyd. In response to this horrific incident\, Minnesota Humanities created what went on to become the award-winning series\, “How Can We Breathe” where community members came together after being impacted by the devastation that ripped throughout the streets\, businesses\, and homes. “Feeding Our Souls: The Essence of Black Joy” will focus on the uplifting beat that spreads across generations despite the struggles of systemic racism. What is the root of self-determination and faith that Black people proclaim? Through the art and culture of food\, music\, publishing\, family legacies\, and more\, participants will examine the actualization of “hope.” \nFeaturing chefs LaChelle Cunningham and Mateo Mackbee; Ramsey County Commissioner W. Toni Carter and St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter\, III; Anthony R. Scott and Dr. Chaunda L. Scott\, two of the editors of the book “Minnesota Blacks in the 21st Century”; and the music of Ginger Commodore. \nDue to the focus of this program\, the fee is waived for Black community members residing in Minnesota. You are invited to register with promo code COMMUNITY22. \nTo ensure that cost is not a barrier\, we have a limited number of complimentary spaces available for Minnesota residents.

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. Her educational background includes a BA in Dakota Art and Culture\, and a MAE-Teacher Leadership. She worked in Indian Education for the Osseo Area School District 2005-2020 and has been the Chairperson of the Minnesota Indian Education Association since 2018. Currently she serves as the Project Director of We Are Still Here MN. \nEthan Neerdaels\, Bdewakantunwan Dakota\, is a graduate of the University of Minnesota – American Indian Studies/Dakota Language programs. He currently teaches the Dakota language at Augsburg University\, and co-directs the Indian Education program at Osseo Area Schools. He also serves as the Executive Director of Dakhóta Iápi Okhódakičhiye\, a 501c3 dedicated to reversing the trend of language loss and raising future generations of Dakota speakers. \nMore Event Details\nThis event will primarily be outdoors so dress accordingly. \nA Minnesota state parks vehicle permit is required (one-day permit is $7). \nMore detailed information will be sent to all registrants during the week of January 24. \nThis event is offered in partnership with The Great Northern as part of its 2022 festival. \nRegistration\nK-12 educators will receive 2 clock hours. \nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT AND WAITLIST HAVE CLOSED
