One thing led to the next, and I was hired on after I graduated and eventually, over time, worked my way up to being director of the center and have been in this role now for 12 years.” Today, the Pa German Cultural Heritage Center has an extensive research library available for those who wish to study genealogical, historical, and cultural research. “If people come to our new headquarters today, they can come in to do research any time between 10 a.m. and noon and one and four on Monday through Friday during our normal operation hours.

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above.  Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here. Rustic gallery glamFood writer Amy Thielen of Park Rapids recommends a gallery space in Detroit Lakes with a show that opens Thursday for the peak summer season. The gallery, run by ceramicist Ellen Moses, is called Art Project 605. Visitors can see the abstract landscape paintings and drawings of Jennie Ward of Lake Park. Entitled “Love Song in the Chaos,” the show will be up through Aug. 2.  Thielen offers this background: Ellen moved back from New York City during the COVID time. I feel like we gained in the North Country — we gained a lot of very cool people who moved back up north, where they are now working remotely. She and her wife Lori O'Dea bought a storefront. In the back, it's Ellen's studio: She makes plates, cups and 3D sculptures. In the front space of the storefront there's a gallery, and [Thursday night] a show opens by Jennie Ward, an artist who lives a little bit further west in Lake Park.Jennie's paintings are really interesting. They're very beautiful. They're abstract expressionist landscapes. The colors are big, swaths of thick paint; she's a great colorist. I'm very excited for this work. I think everybody in town will love it.  It's a beautifully renovated storefront: a beautiful, clean, minimalist working space. It reminds me of a corner in a bigger city, like New York or Chicago.— Amy ThielenGlobal grooves galaPadma Wudali is an amateur musician who plays the veena, a South Indian classical carnatic instrument. She loves the band Maithree, whose work combines Indian and Western classical music styles and instruments.Maithree will be performing this Saturday, July 13 at 6:30 p.m. at the Hindu Society of Minnesota's campus in Maple Grove. The concert is a fundraiser for a new Cultural, Arts and Heritage Center.Padma says: Maithree is a band of Minnesotans who collaborate with classical music, both Western and Indian. So it to me it's not about them diluting any of their art forms, but rather stepping into each other spaces to create amazing music. The music that we will get to hear is Indian, classical Irish, Turkish melodies all seamlessly blended together and various compositions.Shruthi Rajesekar is the youngest member, and I'm super excited to see her work be represented by this group. She is a Western classical music composer who very much grew up in Plymouth and how her work is just being admired by so many people in the United States and abroad.— Padma WudaliBand blitz bashAmanda H. Malkin runs the PaperLoves Conservation in St. Peter, where she's involved in the local arts scene. She's looking forward to the 2024 Minnesota Original Music Festival, which starts next Wednesday, July 17 and culminates in two days of live, local music on July 20 and 21 at MN Square Park in St. Peter. Amanda describes the events leading up to next weekend: There are workshops and jam sessions. There's also this really awesome event called the 48-Hour Band Challenge. They basically invite musicians who are interested to put their names in a hat. New bands are formed by picking names out of the hat, and then those new bands have 48 hours to write a song together and then perform it. It's a way for musicians to find each other, workshop together, learn, practice, vibe!— Amanda H. Malkin

The plan outlines five modes of service, including Shared Ride (microtransit), County Ride (local bus service), Quick Ride (high-frequency service), Rapid Ride (bus rapid transit), and Airport Ride (service to the airport). The proposed routes include connections throughout Gwinnett County, improving mobility, and reducing reliance on personal vehicles. County commissioners will vote on whether to adopt the plan, which may lead to a more extensive and interconnected transit system in the region. The microtransit system, similar to a county-run Uber service, is already in operation and is planned for expansion across the county over the next decade. Story 3: Gwinnett police ID suspect in shooting at Sugarloaf Mills A Decatur man named Ethan Dumas, 20, is wanted by Gwinnett County police in connection with a shooting that occurred at Sugarloaf Mills on August 5. Dumas is facing seven charges, including three counts of aggravated assault, criminal damage to property in the first degree, terroristic threats and acts, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and reckless conduct. The shooting, which caused panic at the shopping center, followed a confrontation between two suspects and a shoe kiosk employee. Fortunately, no one was injured by the gunfire. Dumas is described as 5-feet-11-inches tall and around 170 pounds. Authorities are urging anyone with information about his whereabouts to contact Gwinnett County police detectives or Crime Stoppers. A cash reward is being offered for information leading to his arrest and indictment. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info.

K9 Blue was assisting in tracking a stolen vehicle suspect in Norcross when he was fatally shot during a shootout between police and the suspect. To commemorate his service and sacrifice, a marker will be unveiled at the Graves Park Dog Park in Norcross during a ceremony on Sunday. The event, which begins at 2 p.m., will be emceed by Gwinnett County Police Chief J.D. McClure and feature speeches from various officials, including Gwinnett County Commission Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson and others.       Story 5: Former Gwinnett Commission Chairman Wayne Hill to address Sugar Hill Preservation Society   Former Gwinnett County Commission Chairman Wayne Hill, a Sugar Hill native, is scheduled to speak at the Eagle Theatre on Broad Street. The event, hosted by the Sugar Hill Historic Preservation Society, will take place on Wednesday, September 20, at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Wayne Hill, known for his 12-year tenure as Gwinnett's commission chair, has been actively involved in promoting progress in Gwinnett County and the metro Atlanta area for decades. He played a key role in projects such as the F. Wayne Hill Water Resources Center and the Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center. The Sugar Hill Historic Preservation Society is dedicated to preserving and teaching Sugar Hill's history.   Story 6: Grants bring IT opportunities, cutting-edge equipment to Georgia Gwinnett College   Georgia Gwinnett College has received two National Science Foundation grants totaling over half a million dollars to enhance opportunities for science students and acquire cutting-edge equipment. The first grant, worth $203,047, is for an inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS), which can measure very small metal concentrations. This advanced equipment, rare at primarily undergraduate institutions, will attract prospective science students and provide valuable hands-on research experience. The second grant, valued at $300,000, supports the expansion of GGC's Technology Ambassador Program (TAP), aimed at increasing the number of students in IT majors, especially those underrepresented in computing. It will also create a community dedicated to promoting IT outreach and career development workshops. We'll be back in a moment   Break 3:  ESOG – Ingles 3   Story 7: Duluth football 3-0 for the first time since 1985   The Duluth football team has achieved a 3-0 start for the first time in nearly 40 years. They secured this milestone by defeating Chamblee 27-12 at North DeKalb Stadium under the leadership of head coach Cam Jones. Prior to this season, the team's best start was in 2011 when they reached 2-0, but their current 3-0 record is the program's first since 1985. Coach Jones has been instrumental in reviving the team's performance, having taken them to the state playoffs in 2021, their first appearance since 1994. Duluth displayed a strong performance against Chamblee, with key plays leading to touchdowns and a convincing victory.     We'll have final thoughts after this And now, Leah McGrath, corporate dietician at Ingles markets talks with us about foods that help with swollen feet Break 4:  Henssler 60 Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

'It feels awesome': Heather Boyd makes history as first woman and first Anishinaabe to lead Grand Portage National Monument 

North Star Journey

Play Episode Listen Later May 26, 2023 4:25


A few miles from the Canada border, Heather Boyd walks the grassy trail of the national monument's Ojibwe Village. She passes the soaring pointed timber of the palisade fence that encircles the recreated historic depot, what was once the famed 18th-century cultural crossroads of the Grand Portage Anishinaabe and the fur trade.Boyd then stops in the field where the National Monument hosts the annual Rendezvous Days event. Thousands of visitors flock to the remote site every August for music, camping, reenactments and craft workshops. “This is the encampment area,” Boyd says. “It's wild to see tent upon tent here.” She looks up at the nearby western hills, the site of the Grand Portage Band's annual powwow, also in August.“I'm really looking forward to blending the two events a bit more, the powwow and the Rendezvous here” Boyd says. “Well, it's celebrating both cultures, right? So, being able to encourage not only visitors here, but encourage them to go up to the powwow, too, and have that experience.”Boyd is the new superintendent of the Grand Portage National Monument. She is the first woman and first Anishinaabe person to hold the National Park Service position since the monument was established in 1958. The Anishinaabe have occupied the land since “time immemorial,” as the monument's signage points out.Today, Boyd is wearing a pin given to her by the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, the tribe that has been co-managing the site with the park service for decades. She is also wearing a traditional Native ribbon skirt, striped in red, white and black.  “The ribbon skirt represents resiliency and identity and is just empowering as a woman,” Boyd says, “and a woman in a management position — that I'm the first Anishinaabe and the first woman to ever lead here.” Many say her appointment is a historic moment in the co-stewardship of the monument, which is within the boundaries of the of the Grand Portage Indian Reservation. The Grand Portage Band donated the land to the federal government.“I understand living in a tribal community,” says Boyd, who is an enrolled member of the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa from Bayfield, Wis. “I think that's one of the things they saw in me.”Less than half a mile up the road, April McCormick sits in the timber building that houses the Grand Portage Reservation Tribal Council, the partner in co-management with the National Park Service. McCormick is the Tribal Council secretary treasurer.“We're really trying to have our leadership be reflective of who we are,” McCormick says.   McCormick says Boyd is a good fit because of her 14-year tenure as an administrative officer for Isle Royale National Park, the Michigan island site in Lake Superior, which is part of the Anishinaabe ancestral homelands. It's less than 40 miles from Grand Portage and on a clear day, you can see it from Boyd's new office.McCormick adds that even though Boyd is from a different Anishinaabe band, she is one of them and the community has welcomed her.“She has a deep understanding of tribal government and protocol,” McCormick says. “And also, just understanding the value of our culture, and traditions, and how we're telling our story for national parks. Whose worldview, whose lenses are we using?”Citing the efforts of the Grand Portage Band, McCormick points to the growing number of Native women working at the national monument. She says the current chief of interpretation Anna Deschampe is the first Grand Portage Band member to fill the position, within the division of interpretation and education. Boyd will work with Deschampe to refine the storytelling at the national monument, from signage and exhibitions to reenactments and workshops. The National Park Service announced Boyd's appointment last summer. She's only recently relocated from Michigan. The choice to wear the ribbon skirt regularly at Grand Portage, instead of the typical green and khaki of the NPS uniforms, is one way she's making an impact on the site's culture.  “Throughout my career with the Park Service, I don't see a lot of Indigenous people,” Boyd says. “As I go to different meetings, I'm the only one in a ribbon skirt in a room. Breaking that barrier so people feel like this is a regular thing means a lot to me.”Boyd points to other Native women in leadership, who in growing numbers in the last few years have been wearing the ribbon skirt in their official capacity in state and national government.White Earth member and Minnesota Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan often wore a ribbon skirt. And Deb Haaland, who in 2021 became the first Native woman to serve as the U.S. Secretary of the Department of the Interior (the department responsible for the National Park Service), wore a traditional ribbon skirt at her swearing-in ceremony in Washington D.C. While Boyd says she still has a lot to learn about the site, she knows she also wants to make an impact by doing more community events, like a recent Ojibwa language roundtable that was hosted in the monument's Heritage Center. The center houses a museum, art gallery and shop; she wants to bring more local artists into the space, too.  Joseph Bauerkemper, professor and director of the Tribal Sovereignty Institute at the University of Minnesota Duluth, says Boyd's appointment is important but not surprising. “The Grand Portage Band has really sophisticated, long-standing, consistent leadership, even when different elected officials and community leaders have come and gone,” Bauerkemper says. “Grand Portage has worked very effectively in partnership with the National Park Service for many years, and so this is not a radical shift in that relationship, but it's a significant improvement in that relationship.”He compares Boyd's appointment to the Biden administration appointment of Haaland. “It's of similar import, because Secretary Haaland brings extensive knowledge and experience to that position” he says. “Native nations don't have to explain to the Secretary of Interior who they are, what they are, what they're up to, and that's a big deal. We can see the same thing going on — sure on a smaller scale, but no less important — at the monument there at Grand Portage.” Grand Portage National Monument is considered a leader in the National Park System for its co-management agreement, which creates a sharing of power and responsibility between the federal government and local tribes. Charles F. Sams III, the current National Park Service director (and the first tribally enrolled member to hold the position), testified before congress in 2022 about Grand Portage.“The stewardship of Grand Portage National Monument exemplifies how successful co-management can be, while infusing valuable dollars into the local Tribal economy,” Sams said.  Boyd also sits on the NPS Tribal Relations Advisory Committee for the Midwest region, which includes superintendents and staff from other parks and sites and meets monthly by video call. At the May meeting, Boyd sat in the conference room of the Heritage Center. St. Croix National Scenic Riverway superintendent Craig Hansen — who is the former superintendent of Grand Portage — was on the call and said Boyd's appointment is significant. “It shows the commitment to that community and that site,” Hansen said. Also on the call was Alisha Deegan, the superintendent of the Knife River Indian Village National History Site in North Dakota. A member of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation, Deegan is also working at a federal site in her ancestral homeland. “Having that connection to the land that is beyond government is huge,” Deegan said. “The pride extends beyond her and her family.” Deegan explained that, as a Native person, it can be “really difficult” to work for government, or feel welcome entering a federal building or park, because of the U.S. history of oppression, violating treaties and taking land from Native populations. “Having Indigenous people in leadership positions, there is that permission to come back to sites,” Deegan said. “Elders may come and shares stories they wouldn't have before.” Boyd sits at her desk in her office at the Heritage Center. She is framed by a window that overlooks the Ojibwe Village and the Historic Depot, with Grand Portage Island and Isle Royale appearing as purple streaks in the distance on Lake Superior.  Boyd says she feels like she's home, even though she hasn't lived on her own Red Cliff reservation for 20 years.  “So, when I first came over here, it just felt right,” Boyd says. “When I first started with the Park Service, I wasn't promoting my heritage and my culture because it didn't feel right. Here, I feel like I'm empowered to do that. It feels awesome.” The Grand Portage National Monument grounds are open year-round. The Historic Depot opens for the season Memorial Day weekend. Correction (May 26, 2023): A previous version of this story incorrectly stated the Lieutenant Governor's title. This has been fixed.

The centerpiece of the Wolcott Heritage Center is the Hull-Wolcott House, which was built in 1830 in Maumee, Ohio. This mansion is a great reflection of the pioneer family who built it and remained in that family for several generations before giving it to the Maumee Historical Society. Over the years, the society added seven other buildings to the center that all represent the early life of this historic city.  The Wolcott family is intertwined with not only Maumee's history, but they represent a coming together of the Native American culture with early American pioneers. Mrs. Wolcott was the granddaughter of a Miami chief. Many people believe that several members of the Wolcott family might still be hanging around the property.
