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 Adol- phus College, the Nicollet County Historical Society, the Minnesota Humanities Center, the Minnesota Historical Society and the people
of Minnesota through a grant supported by an appropriation to the Minnesota Historical Society from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
KAY WALKINGSTICK: AN AMERICAN ARTIST Through Sept. 18, 2016 Third Floor Gallery Kay WalkingStick: An American Artist is the first major retrospective of the artistic career of Kay WalkingStick (b. 1935), a citizen of the Cherokee Nation and one of the world’s most celebrated artists of Native ancestry. Featuring more than 65 of her most no- table paintings, drawings, small sculptures, notebooks and the diptychs for which she is best known, the exhibition traces her career over more than four decades and culminates with her recent paintings of monumental landscapes and Native places. Her distinc- tive approach to painting emerged from the cauldron of the New York art world, poised between late modernism and postmodern- ism of the 1960s and 1970s. Over decades of intense and prolific artistic production, she sought spiritual truth through the acts
