Download 2016 Annual Report As PDF Document 2016 ANNUAL REPORT he year 2016 was historic for South Dakota’s Trail of Governors as the foundation reached the half-way point with 15 bronze statues – Thalf of our former governors’ images. We celebrated this milepost of the journey on this Trail since beginning six years ago with zero dollars and a handful of volunteers. Progress continues to rely on volunteers from board members to underwriters, artists to historians, advisors to donors. Not only does this Trail celebrate South Dakota’s leaders, it also cele- brates the talent and creativity of our artists, it enhances the aesthetics of our capital city, and it showcases the resolve of our citizens. Trail supporters include a variety of South Dakotans and folks from all over the United States. We have business owners, governor family members, governor staff members, art enthusiasts, history buffs, tour- ism promoters, and school teachers. In 2016, we honored Govs. Green, Boe and Rounds. Each of these leaders stood proudly on behalf of South Dakota during tough times and prosperous times. They protected us. They promoted us. These bronze tributes are one way South Dakotans show respect to them Governor Warren E. Green – 13th Governor of South Dakota M. Michael Rounds - 31st Governor of South Dakota for their dedication as our leaders. 2016 Trail of Governors Annual Report Gov. Green – 13th, 1931-1933 Despite his surname, we think of Warren E. Green as our Dirty Thirties Governor. He had the dubious honor of leading South Dakota during the worst of the drought years. Not only would nothing much grow and grasshoppers ate what little green did surface, but the dust bowl created a severe financial crisis. Green’s tenacity and financial acumen helped South Dakota avoid further disaster during these tough, tough times. Green’s statue by Lee Leuning and Sherri Treeby near the Capitol tells the story as you feel the wind blowing mightily while hoppers alight on his slender frame. Green stands with hat in hand, bracing himself against the elements. Green’s donors were Leroy and Charlene Foster, Mansour and Ruth Karim, and Green’s grandchildren and great grandchildren. Warren E. Green - 13th Governor of South Dakota A vision to create a lasting legacy of South Dakota’s governors. 2016 Trail of Governors Annual Report Gov. Boe – 23rd, 1965-1969 Nils A. Boe dealt with many changing policies as governor, both at the federal and state levels. It was a time of change and he was known as a leader of conviction and courage. As U.S. Senator Karl Mundt once said of him, “we have a governor with some guts.” Boe was South Dakota’s only bachelor governor and having four sisters, he would occasionally ask one of his sisters to serve as his hostess. He was very fond of his loyal beagle often found at his feet, Beagle Boe. Boe’s statue by John Lopez and James Michael Maher near BankWest’s headquarters in downtown Pierre features the famous first dog’s likeness. The funds for Boe’s statue were donated by BankWest and Charles Burke II. Nils A. Boe - 23rd Governor of South Dakota A vision to create a lasting legacy of South Dakota’s governors. 2016 Trail of Governors Annual Report Gov. Rounds – 31st, 2003-2011 M. Michael Rounds was Pierre’s only hometown boy to serve as governor. In fact, he grew up in a house not far from where his statue stands near the Governor’s Mansion. When not making decisions at the Capitol or attending meetings, Rounds would often be walking corn and milo fields, hunting ring neck pheasants like other avid South Dakota hunters. He not only enjoyed the sport, he promoted it to lure visitors to the state. Rounds’ bronze image by James Michael Maher features his beloved dog Baby at his side, with his hunting gun in hand, ready to take on another field and bring home dinner. Rounds’ statue was funded by his friends and family, the families of Steve and Trace Beck, Beck Motor Company, and Fischer Rounds and Associates. M. Michael Rounds - 31st Governor of South Dakota A vision to create a lasting legacy of South Dakota’s governors. 2016 Trail of Governors Annual Report George T. Mickelson - 18th Governor of South Dakota Richard Kneip - 25th Governor of South Dakota Charles Herreid - 4th Governor of South Dakota A vision to create a lasting legacy of South Dakota’s governors. 2016 Trail of Governors Annual Report Dedicated to Founding Member Patricia Adam 5th Gov.

  • Closing Time: a Twenty-Five-Year Retrospective on the Life and Death
    Copyright © 2009 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. MARSHALL DAMGAARD Closing Time A Twenty-five-Year Retrospective on the Life and Death of the University of South Dakota at Springfield Twenty-five years ago, South Dakota Governor William J. Janklow and the state legislature closed the University of South Dakota at Spring- field and converted it into a minimum-security prison. The closing— contested bitterly in the capitol, the courts, and public meeting halls— climaxed almost a century of continuing debates over the existence of the school.1 The community of Springfield had built much of its identity and economy around the school, and residents mourned the loss. Today, the former campus is the site of Mike Durfee State Prison, but memories of the University of South Dakota at Springfield and the fight to keep it alive remain vivid. To visitors, Springfield seems an unlikely place for controversy. The little town is tucked between the softly undulating tallgrass prairie and the slowly rolling Missouri River. Until the mid-nineteenth cen- tury, the area was the domain of the Yankton Sioux Indians, who, un- der their legendary leader Strike-the-Ree, ceded about 14 million acres between the Missouri and Big Sioux rivers with the Treaty of 1858. That treaty, followed closely by the Homestead Act of 1862, triggered a tor- rent of European immigrants—Czechs, Dutch, English, Germans, Ger- mans from Russia (including Hutterites and Mennonites), Russians, Swedes, Norwegians, Poles, Irish, and Austrians—who settled in what became Bon Homme County, Dakota Territory. The newcomers also included many cold-hardy settlers from Canada, plus empire-building Yankees from New England, who leapfrogged through Ohio, Indiana, 1.

  • Patriotic Pageantry: Presidential Visits to South Dakota
    Copyright © 2001 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Patriotic Pageantry: Presidential Visits to South Dakota Harold H. Scbuler outh Dakota citizens came out by the thousands to welcome thirteen presidents from 1899 to 1999. Flags and bunting float- Sed from rooftops and doorways, bands played, and bells rang to mark each gala occasion. Cheering crowds jammed parade routes and strained to catch sight of the president. A hol- iday atmosphere surrounded the visit of William McKinley, the first presidential visitor to the state, when an estimated one hun- dred thousand people gathered in city streets and at railroad depots to see him. The only nineteenth-centur>' president to visit South Dakota, McKinley was also the only president unaccom- panied by the Secret Service. Established in 1865 to investigate rampant counterfeiting, the agency was not charged with pro- tecting the president until after McKinley's assassination in 1901. Throughout the 1900s, presidential visits continued to be awe- inspiring public events, with thirty-six South Dakota cities host- ing at least one president. More than patriotic pageantry for just one man, these visits were also the story of a traveling White House amidst a swirl of Secret Service security, press corps, and politics. William McKinley, 14 October 1899 n the third year of his presidency. William McKinley agreed to visit South Dakota on 14 October 1899 as a part of a mid- Iwestern tour. It may well have been the state's biggest one- day celebration as the president "was met with tlie most enthu- siastic ovation at every point," the Aberdeen Daily Neu)S report- ed.

  • Read Papers Presented at the Conference
    The Kaisers Totebag: Fundraising, German-Americans and World War I Richard Muller, M.S.S The Kaiser’s Tote bag: Fundraising, German-Americans and WW I Germans are nothing if not about tradition, loyalty, symbolism and generosity. These traits, while not unique to Germans, German-Americans or any ethnicity for that matter, are examined here in the context of generating financial and moral support for various factions engaged in fighting WW I. Two families, one from South Dakota, one from New York City provide the context for this paper. England and France were using loans and war bonds to pay for their role in the Napoleonic War and WW I. The United States eventually followed suit, when it entered the war. Fundraising to support war is nothing new. Fundraisers have used “Thank you Gifts” to help raise money for decades. In the fundraising business there is an old adage, if it works once, beat it to death. 148 In this case, Frederick III took a page out of his great grandfather’s fundraising playbook noting how Frederick I funded the Napoleonic War of 1813. Then, the Prussian Royal family asked loyal German citizens for their gold (rings, jewelry, dinnerware, etc.) to support the Kaiser’s need for the materials of war. In exchange for their donation, they received an iron ring, following the practice of “a ‘Thank You Gift’ in return for a quality, soon to be appreciated premium.” This was a sort of “Thank you” gift at the time, much like today’s fundraisers offer tote bags and coffee mugs for donations.

    March 10, 2021 The Honorable Kristi L. Noem Governor of South Dakota South Dakota State Capitol Pierre, SD 57501 RE: Request to Veto HB 1217 regarding Transgender Students in Sports Dear Governor Noem: We, the undersigned organizations committed to women’s rights and gender justice, urge you to veto House Bill 1217. This bill would harm both cisgender and transgender girls and women, particularly Black and brown girls and women, and is likely to violate both the U.S. Constitution and Title IX, putting South Dakota’s federal educational funding in jeopardy. Our organizations have a long history of advocating for fairness in sports and opportunities for all girls and women to benefit from athletic participation and competition. Inclusion of transgender girls and women in girls’ and women’s sports advances those goals. As organizations that care deeply about ending sex-based discrimination and ensuring equal access to athletics for girls and women, we support laws and policies that protect transgender people from discrimination, including in participation in sports, and reject the suggestion that cisgender girls and women benefit from the exclusion of girls and women who happen to be transgender. Rejecting the harmful and misguided invocation of “women’s rights” as a justification for sex discrimination against transgender athletes, women’s rights organizations and elite athletes have in recent years repeatedly voiced their unequivocal support of transgender inclusion in athletics. In April 2019, 23 national women’s rights and gender justice
