Project Overview

The final edit, of a manuscript describing the work of women of the Eastern bands of the Dakota Nation, was prepared by the author/project director for submission to the Minnesota Historical Society Press for publication.

The story of how contact and conflict with Europeans and European Americans, war and forced relocation changed how these women retained the knowledge and traditions of their grandmothers is tied to the U.S. - Dakota War of 1862 and carries forward to today.

The book is slated to be published in August of 2012. It is a crucial date that makes the book available to its intended audience during the time of remembrance and discussion of the 150th anniversary of this very controversial and emotional period in Minnesota history.
