Dakota War in Dakota Territory: Conflict & Memory on the Dakota Plains

Dakota War in Dakota Territory: Conflict & Memory on the Dakota Plains is a series of forums, convened in communities adjacent to significant sites of memory associated with the US-Dakota War of 1862-64 which will engage the public in discussion of the values and implications of this conflict for our historical memory and current situation.The events of 1862-64 were both destructive and formative in Dakota Territory. The Dakota War destroyed some peoples' ways of life, but not the peoples themselves. Their descendants on the northern plains inherit the legacies of this conflict and carry the historical memory of it.
