Mahkato Wacipi (Pow Wow)
KMSU will help to support this annual reconciliation event in September of each year at Land of Memories Park. KMSU will pay for the drummer to perform at this event which exposes more Minnesotans to Native American culture and history. KMSU will also conduct a 10-15 minute on-air interview with event organizers and drummers in the days prior to the event. This supports non-natives learning about native culture and history, and provides the opportunity for others who may not be able to attend to learn more about the event. There will be two events supported during the biennium.
$1,775,000 the first year and $1,700,00 the second year are to the Association of Minnesota Public Educational Radio Stations for production and acquisition grants in accordance with Minnesota Statutes section 129D.19.Of this amount, $75,000 the first year is for the Veterans' Voices program to educate and engage communities regarding veterans' contributions, knowledge, skills and experiences with an emphasis on Korean War veterans.
Area residents learn about and appreciate Native American history and culture. More Minnesotans of all ages, ethnicities, and incomes will have access to Minnesota history and culture. The project will help increase awareness and knowledge of history and how it affected people's lives so that it can help Minnesotans to make informed decisions in the future. The project will help to interweave history into more facets of community life.
