Coming Soon Ramsey County Historical Society Exhibit Gallery Landmark Center “Why Treaties Matter: Self-Government in the Dakota and Ojibwe Nations” August 23 - September 22, 2012 A collaboration of the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council, the Minnesota Humanities Center and the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian, this project is funded in part with money from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund that was created with a vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008 and The Patrick and Aimee Butler Family Foundation. (www.mnhum.org/treaties). “Why Treaties Matter: Self-Government in the Dakota and Ojibwe Nations” is a new traveling exhibition that will explore the Native nations in Minnesota and their history of treaty making with the United States. The exhibit will open August 23, 2012 at 6pm in the RCHS Exhibit Gallery on the first floor at the north end of the Landmark Center, where it will be on view through September 22, 2012. In August 2010, a resolution creating a unique partnership of the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council, the Minnesota Humanities Center, and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. was approved unanimously by the tribes residing in Minnesota and made it possible for the exhibition to be developed as an educational tool for Minnesota audiences. The exhibition will include 20 free standing banners with evocative text, historical and contemporary photographs and maps, and a 10-minute video titled, “A Day in the Life of the Minnesota Tribal Nations.” Ramsey County Historical Society is partnering with St. Paul Public Schools, Metropolitan State University, and Landmark Center to create compelling programming in conjunction with the exhibit. Look for a schedule of Thursday evening presentations in the Landmark Center to learn more about treaties and their consequences in Minnesota.
