(1) When we write to friends and family, though we seem to be reporting on the past we are actually looking to the future. (2) The work I do, the work I seem to have been doing for quite a while, is to seek out ideas and images that enable our common future to avoid being mindlessly burdened by our shared past. Were I a good Buddhist, I would know that neither past nor future exist. There is only now and even in “now” there is no absolute reality. I am enough of a Buddhist to know that there is certainly no absolute reality in “history.” Even in the middle of a single household, it is evident that each of the different children grow up in different families, if only by virtue of birth order. So within the much larger and more complex system of relationships among people living in the United States, it is inconceivable that any of us inhabit identical narratives, identical ways of telling the stories of the history of this particular nation-state.

  • The US-Dakota War of 1862: Changing Interpretations Through Material Culture, Monuments, and Commemorative Activities
    The US-Dakota War of 1862: Changing Interpretations Through Material Culture, Monuments, and Commemorative Activities Kristin Glomstad Advisor: James Rice Readers: Cathy Stanton, Ninian Stein THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS MASTER OF ARTS PROGRAM IN HISTORY AND MUSEUM STUDIES TUFTS UNIVERSITY May 2017 ii Abstract The material culture surrounding the US-Dakota War – encompassing war artifacts, souvenirs, commemorative objects, and monuments – presents a unique and physical opportunity to read the changing interpretations of the war. For many years, the material culture created around this conflict reflected the mindset of the victors, and reinforced the traditional narrative of the war, the Dakota, and American Indians. The material culture examined in this study is a physical manifestation of these ideas, but also a challenge, and finally, a reinterpretation. These objects subtly reinforced the traditional narrative, pervading popular culture and academia. Yet in their visibility, they also drew criticism and questions. These issues, along with increased Dakota involvement became a part of the ongoing shift in the conversation on and understanding of the US-Dakota War and Native America. iii Table of Contents Introduction The US-Dakota War of 1862: Its Causes, Aftermath, and Original Artifacts.........1 Chapter 1 Connection to the Civil War – Defender Medals...................................................26 Chapter 2 The War Remembered in Popular Culture – Standard Brewing

Ojibwe Absent Narratives in Minnesota Forest Park History by Elizabeth Ley Steinson A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of St. Cloud State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History March 2018 Committee Members: Robert Galler Jason Eden Robbie Mann 2 Abstract A discursive analysis of Minnesota conservation history, with particular emphasis on the establishment of national forests, follows a recognizable pattern of the benign development of federal and state initiatives to ameliorate environmental despoliation around the turn of the twentieth century. Tensions over the creation of bureaucratic institutions to solve these problems are also generally described in terms of binary struggles between local special interests and conservationists who argued over proper management the land and its resources. Absent from these narratives are the indigenous populations who continued to use these lands and resources and resisted federal and state efforts to impede further loss of their homelands.
