FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 22nd, 2019

ACCESSIBILITY BARRIERS OVERCOME WITH VIRTUAL REALITY IMMERSIVE VIDEO LOWER SIOUX AGENCY INTERPRETATIVE CENTER LEVERAGES CUTTING EDGE PLACEVR TECHNOLOGY

(Morton, MN – May 22, 2019) – Lower Sioux Agency Historic Site Visitors with mobile disabilities, poor weather, or lack of time longer are constrained because now people can experience the trails, scenery and outlying structures with virtual reality (VR).

“Everybody, no matter the mobile limitations they might have or what time of year they come, can view the trails as if they were walking there themselves,” said Cheyanne St. John, Tribal Historic Preservation Of-

ficer for the Lower Sioux Indian Community. The PlaceVR kiosk, created in collaboration with Golden Shovel Agency and a grant from the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council, provides people with an immersive experience of the interpretive center that engages multiple senses and is easily accessible to visitors of all ages. Anyone can get a 360-degree view of the peaceful trails curving along the Mŋiśota wakpa osmaka ouŋyaŋpi (Minnesota River Valley) or look around the inside of a tipi or the 1861 Agency warehouse.

The kiosk might be the very first immersive virtual reality experience for some, but one of the Lower Sioux Agency Historic Site goals in adopting this cutting-edge technology is to provide additional resources to new audiences who are familiar with VR and who prefer learning content with video.

“We not only want to make sure we’re up to date with technology; we want to make sure that we’re serving different generations and demographics and the PlaceVR technology allows us to do that,” said St. John. “Its definitely an educational resource for everyone, including our Dakota community.”

The LOWER SIOUX AGENCY, established by the U.S. government in 1853, is the site where the U.S.-Dakota War broke out in 1862. A visitor center and self-guided trails interpret agency and Dakota history. The site is located along County Highway 2, nine miles east of Redwood Falls. The Lower Sioux Agency is managed by the Lower Sioux Indian Community. To learn more and plan your visit go to:

http://www.mnhs.org/lowersioux

GOLDEN SHOVEL AGENCY is a Minnesota-based full-service economic development firm specializing in workforce attraction for economic and community development. The Economic Gateway Web system includes an expandable and on-demand content management system (CMS) and a robust social media implementation strategy. Learn how you can bring VR technology to your organization at:

http://www.goldenshovelagency.com

This project was made possible, in part, by a grant from the Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage
Grants Program and the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council, through the Minnesota Historical Society by the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment.

OFFICE OF ENVIRONMENT

REDUCE LAWN FERTILIZERS TO CONTROL ALGAL BLOOM

If you notice your pond or nearby lake smelling swampy and looks like pea soup, it may be from an algal bloom. Algae are organisms that are similar to plants that grow when they have water, sunlight, nutrient and

other factors. Algae can ‘photosynthesize’ in water. A type of Blue-green Algae is known as Cyanobacteria

and can produce harmful algal bloom. The blue-green algal can be toxic to people, pets and livestock. It is not known what factors are needed to produce a harmful algal bloom (HAB), but it is a good practice to reduce the nutrient Phosphorus.

Steps to reduce problems in water quality:

••

Avoid excess lawn and garden fertilizer, which contain nutrients that support algal growth. Don’t use phosphorus-containing lawn fertilizer, which is prohibited by Minnesota law in most circumstances. A pound of phosphorus can lead to 500 pounds of algae.

••••

Leave an un-mowed buffer strip between lawn and lake. Never rake leaves or clippings into the water. Maintain your septic system properly. Eliminate soil erosion and runoff.
If you, your children or your pets encounter blue-green algae, wash thoroughly as soon as possible, and keep dogs from licking the algae off their fur.

BURN PERMIT REMINDER

To obtain a Burn Permit call Justice in the Office of the Environment at 697-8642 (if unavailable you can call

Deb Dirlam 697-8643). Factors such as wind speed are a consideration in determining safe conditions for a burn. Permits are issued for the day of the burn. In order to issue the permit, we must check that the wind speeds will be less than 15 miles per hour. In the case that you want to burn over the weekend, stop in on Friday to obtain permit for Saturday or Sunday.

There is no charge for the permit. The fine for burning without a permit is $150 in addition to any charges by the fire department if they are called to the scene.

The Lower Sioux Burn Ordinance is in place to minimize the impact of undesirable environmental conditions and to regulate conduct related to burning within the authority of the Lower Sioux Indian Community. The Community recognizes certain burning habits are unhealthy for People and wildlife. It damages not only the

air quality, but also the soil and water. The Community strives to preserve the Community’s land, air, and wa-

ter and to safeguard the health of the Members. Within the exterior boundaries of Lower Sioux, it is unlawful for any reason to set any fire unless it is always attended, and he/she has first obtained a Burn Permit.

You DO NOT need a burn permit for the following:

••••

Warming and Food Preparation Fires Ceremonial Fires Campfires Fires Contained in an Approved Fire Pit

Make sure the burn pile is only woody materials (trees, branches, twigs and leaves).

PROHIBITED MATERIALS TO BURN:

••••••••

Gas, Oils, Rubber plastics, Styrofoam Tires and chemically treated materials such as railroad ties Treated lumber, Composite shingles Tar paper, Insulation Composition board, Sheet rock Wiring, Paint Hazardous and Industrial Solid Waste

HOUSING TIPS-HOW TO CLEAN YOUR OUTSIDE AIR CONDITIONER UNIT

To keep your AC unit more efficient and to prevent breakdowns it is wise to clean your AC unit from dust and debris. An AC unit that is not maintained will take longer to cool your home, will be wasting energy, and cost more to run. This task can be run by an HVAC professional but may be costly.

Tools you will need:

•

Air conditioner coil cleaner (follow your AC

manufacturer’s recommendation)

Vacuum cleaner with soft brush attachment Water hose with sprayer

•••

Work clothes, gloves, and eye protection

Follow these steps:

••

Turn off the thermostat Find the electrical disconnect (a metal box) near your outside unit, usually on an exterior wall

RECONCILING MEMORY: LANDSCAPES, COMMEMORATIONS, AND ENDURING CONFLICTS OF THE U.S.-DAKOTA WAR OF 1862 by JULIE HUMANN ANDERSON Under the Direction of Clifford M. Kuhn ABSTRACT The U.S.-Dakota War of 1862 resulted in the deaths of more than 500 Minnesota settlers, the expulsion of the Dakota people from their homeland, and the largest mass execution in U.S. history. For more than a century, white Minnesotans declared themselves innocent victims of Indian brutality and actively remembered this war by erecting monuments, preserving historic landscapes, publishing first-person narratives, and hosting anniversary celebrations. However, as the centennial anniversary approached, new awareness for the sufferings of the Dakota both before and after the war prompted retellings of the traditional story that gave the status of victimhood to the Dakota as well as the white settlers.
