EXHIBITIONS:
COMMEMORATING CONTROVERSY: THE DAKOTA–U.S. WAR OF 1862 Through Dec. 29, 2015 Sealaska Gallery, Second Level In the late summer of 1862, a war raged across southern Minnesota between Dakota akicitas (warriors) and the U.S. military and immigrant settlers. In the end, hundreds were dead and thousands more would lose their homes forever. On Dec. 26, 1862, 38 Dakota men were hung in Mankato, Minn., by order of President Abraham Lincoln, the largest mass execution in United States history. The bloodshed of 1862 and its aftermath left deep wounds that have yet to heal. What happened 150 years ago continues to matter today.
Commemorating Controversy: The Dakota– U.S. War of 1862 – an exhibition of 12 panels exploring the causes, voices, events and long- lasting consequences of the conflict – was produced by students at Gustavus Adolphus College, in conjunction with the Nicollet County Historical Society. The project was
funded by Gustavus Adolphus College, the Nicollet County Historical Society, the Minnesota Humanities Center, the Min- nesota Historical Society and the people of Minnesota through a grant supported by an appropriation to the Minnesota His- torical Society from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
NATION TO NATION: TREATIES BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND AMERICAN INDIAN NATIONS Through Fall 2018 Fourth Level Nation to Nation examines treaty-making between American Indians and European powers, and between American Indians and the nascent United States, when those treaties were serious diplomatic nation-to-nation agreements based on the recognition of each nation’s sovereignty. The exhibition then ex- amines the shift in U.S. policy toward Indians and the way the United States subsequently used treaties to gain land as it expanded
