Gessner Through the use of new technologies and platforms, the Minnesota Historical Society (MNHS) has been able to reach new levels of transparency in working with Dakota communities on the access, management and care of Dakota material culture collections. By digitizing and sharing information about collections and using an online platform for soliciting feedback - which then becomes attached to the permanent record of the object – the MNHS is relinquishing the authority of intellectual control over Dakota material culture which they have historically claimed to have. In doing so, the institution is not only opening pathways to meaningful dialogue, but is benefiting by gaining new insights and knowledge shared with them by cultural insiders. By expanding upon this shared authority, the MNHS is also being educated in regards to the traditional modes of care for items within their Dakota material culture collections. Over the course of the last few years, through outreach efforts, many Dakota people have also learned about museum best practices in physical preservation. In the past, this type of dialogue has not existed or has been extremely strained. Through sharing information and partnering, personal and professional relationships are guiding emerging professional practices. By promoting online resources that can be accessed via the internet from anywhere, the MNHS has recently begun fostering meaningful dialogue and partnerships. These resources include the Dakota material culture collections, and to a lesser extent, the photograph collections and genealogical records. In sharing these resources, the MNHS has not only promoted access, but has fostered reciprocal sharing of knowledge, in turn creating a more robust and complete understanding. In familiarizing new audiences with digital surrogates, MNHS has promoted the sharing of information, as well as the decentralization of authority. By completing this work in partnership with Dakota i communities – often within their own communities – the MNHS is also reaching underserved audiences. _________________ Month Year Approved by Research Committee: ______________________________ Mark Muñiz Chairperson ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS “It’s a long way from your head to your heart.” I try to remember the dozens of times that J.B. Weston has said that to me and realize I must not be as quick of a study as I thought. But I do think I am starting to catch on. He must mean that someone can know something, academically, but that does not necessarily make it real – for him, to live and experience something is to truly understand it. With this in my mind, I sit reflecting on how my life has changed since beginning this work – actually what started as work but what is now so enmeshed in my life that I cannot call it “work” – and my phone rings. It is J.B.’s sister Myrna, the woman who has taken us in and made my family a part of hers, calling from South Dakota. She asks how I am and I tell her something like, “I’m trying to write about all of these things we’ve been working on. It’s important for me to figure out how to tell our story in the right way.” Myrna’s love for her Dakota people is apparent in everything that she does and says, and I can hear it today. Like she does, she says in her language “Wocekiya tokaheya – prayer first.” Then adds, “Think of it this way: I’m your aunty, so just explain it like you would to me.” So here goes. I am forever indebted to my Dakota family, teachers, and friends, especially Myrna Weston Louis, J.B. Weston, Franky Jackson, and Melvin Lee Houston, and I always do my best to listen to them carefully. My whole world is my wife Chandra and our daughters Juniper and Iris. I am full of gratitude for my grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters (Gessners, Sathers, and Westons) and for all of my family, friends and teachers. With you all next to me, I attempt to do a little bit of something bigger. iii From my head I think, but from my heart I feel. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF PLATES.................................................................................................... viii Chapter I.

  • Marketing of Menthol Cigarettes and Consumer Perceptions Joshua Rising1*, Lori Alexander2
    Rising and Alexander Tobacco Induced Diseases 2011, 9(Suppl 1):S2 http://www.tobaccoinduceddiseases.com/content/9/S1/S2 REVIEW Open Access Marketing of menthol cigarettes and consumer perceptions Joshua Rising1*, Lori Alexander2 Abstract In order to more fully understand why individuals smoke menthol cigarettes, it is important to understand the perceptions held by youth and adults regarding menthol cigarettes. Perceptions are driven by many factors, and one factor that can be important is marketing. This review seeks to examine what role, if any, the marketing of menthol cigarettes plays in the formation of consumer perceptions of menthol cigarettes. The available literature suggests that menthol cigarettes may be perceived as safer choices than non-menthol cigarettes. Furthermore, there is significant overlap between menthol cigarette advertising campaigns and the perceptions of these products held by consumers. The marketing of menthol cigarettes has been higher in publications and venues whose target audiences are Blacks/African Americans. Finally, there appears to have been changes in cigarette menthol content over the past decade, which has been viewed by some researchers as an effort to attract different types of smokers. Review Summarized in this review are 35 articles found to The marketing of cigarettes is a significant expenditure have either direct relevance to these questions, or were for the tobacco industry; in 2006, the tobacco industry used to provide relevant background information.

  • Was Gen. Henry Sibley's Son Hanged in Mankato?
    The Filicide Enigma: Was Gen. Henry Sibley’s Son Ha nged in Ma nkato? By Walt Bachman Introduction For the first 20 years of Henry Milord’s life, he and Henry Sibley both lived in the small village of Mendota, Minnesota, where, especially during Milord’s childhood, they enjoyed a close relationship. But when the paths of Sibley and Milord crossed in dramatic fashion in the fall of 1862, the two men had lived apart for years. During that period of separation, in 1858 Sibley ascended to the peak of his power and acclaim as Minnesota’s first governor, presiding over the affairs of the booming new state from his historic stone house in Mendota. As recounted in Rhoda Gilman’s excellent 2004 biography, Henry Hastings Sibley: Divided Heart, Sibley had occupied key positions of leadership since his arrival in Minnesota in 1834, managing the regional fur trade and representing Minnesota Territory in Congress before his term as governor. He was the most important figure in 19th century Minnesota history. As Sibley was governing the new state, Milord, favoring his Dakota heritage on his mother’s side, opted to live on the new Dakota reservation along the upper Minnesota River and was, according to his mother, “roaming with the Sioux.” Financially, Sibley was well-established from his years in the fur trade, and especially from his receipt of substantial sums (at the Dakotas’ expense) as proceeds from 1851 treaties. 1 Milord proba bly quickly spe nt all of the far more modest benefit from an earlier treaty to which he, as a mixed-blood Dakota, was entitled.
