Join Jennings Mergenthal, Public History Graduate Student at the University of Minnesota and Beth Calderon, Blake Social Studies Teacher for conversations about the influence of public history in Minnesota. After in introduction and framing for our day, we will take in the new exhibit at Historic Fort Snelling: "Many Voices, Many Stories, One Place" exploring the complex history of this important place. After viewing the exhibit, we'll meet again as a group for an Indigenous lunch and reflections on this exhibit -- what it does and what it doesn't do.
About the Exhibit:
* As you journey through more than 10,000 years, witness the site's complex history unfold through diverse perspectives.
* Encounter the stories of dozens of individuals whose lives played out at various times, including Dakota and Ojibwe people, Japanese-Americans, immigrants, enslaved African American people, soldiers, and fur traders.
* Learn about the sacred Dakota homeland at the confluence of the Mni Sota Wakpa (Minnesota) and Haha Wakpa (Mississippi Rivers), the military fort that played a pivotal role in our nation’s history, and the site’s importance in the formation of our state.
Group meets inside the Plank Visitor Center at Historic Fort Snelling located at 200 Tower Ave St. Paul, MN 55111.
