\nAt the beginning\nof t he 17th century\, an indigenous Andean man\, don Felipe Guaman Poma de\nAy ala\, wrote a nearly 1200-page letter addressed to King Philip III of\nSpa in. The first part of the letter gave the king a history of Andean\ncultur e and traditions before the Spanish conquest\, providing vital\nhistorical and ethnographic information. The letter then outlined the\nhistory of th e conquest and the effects of Spanish colonial rule on the\nAndean world\, which Guaman Poma believed had been turned upside down by the\nunjust pra ctices of Spanish administrators. The end of the letter proposed\na new\, better form of government that would incorporate pre-conquest Andean\npoli tical and economic structures. In addition to his written text\, Guaman\nP oma included 398 full page line drawings in the letter. This lecture will\ nfocus on these fascinating drawings\, which provide an intriguing glimpse \ninto life in the Viceroyalty of Peru and also illuminate Guaman Poma’s \nsynthesis of European visual techniques with indigenous Andean systems o f\nsymbolism and spatial concepts.

In the spring of 2005\, Jim Miller\, a Native
\nspiritual leader and Vietnam War veteran\, found himself in a dream ridi
ng\non horseback across the Great Plains of South Dakota. Just before he a
woke\,\nhe arrived at a riverbank in Minnesota and saw 38 of his Dakota an
cestors\nhanged. At the time\, Jim knew nothing of the execution\, which w
as ordered\nby Abraham Lincoln and took place on Dec. 26\, 1862. “When y
ou have\ndreams\, you know when they come from the creator\,” said Mille
r. “As any\nrecovered alcoholic\, I made believe that I didn’t get it.
I tried to put\nit out of my mind\, yet it’s one of those dreams that b
others you night\nand day.”
Four years later\, embracing
the message of the\ndream\, Jim and a group of riders retrace the 330-mile
route of his dream on\nhorseback from Lower Brule\, South Dakota\, to Man
kato\, Minnesota\, to arrive\nat the hanging site on the anniversary of th
e execution. “We can’t\nblame the wasichus anymore\,” said
Miller. “We’re doing it to\nourselves. We’re selling drugs. We’re
killing our own people. That’s\nwhat this ride is about\, is healing.”
Dakota 38\nis the story of their journey — the
blizzards they endure\, the Native and\nnon-Native communities that house
and feed them along the way\, and the dark\nhistory they are beginning to
wipe away.
“We are honored to be\nscreening this film\, and it’ s being offered to the community free of\ncharge in alignment with the wis hes of Silas Hagerty\, the filmmaker\,”\nsaid Kristine Bretall\, The Cen ter’s Director of Performing Arts. “The\nmission of this film is heali ng\, and Silas asks that it be screened as a\ngift in line with Native hea ling practices. We will accept donations to\ncover the cost of the screeni ng\, but all are welcome and we do not want an\nadmission fee to deter any one from seeing this powerful film.

The C enter's\n2018–2019 Film Series comes to a close Thursday\, April 18\, wi th\nDakota 38—an award-winning documentary film from director S ilas\nHagerty that remembers the 38 Dakota men who were killed Dec. 26\, 1 862\, in\nthe largest mass execution in U.S. history. The film is part of The\nCenter’s current BIG IDEA project\, Unraveling: Reimagining the \nColonization in the Americas.
In the spring of 2005\, Jim\
nMiller\, a Native spiritual leader and Vietnam War veteran\, found himsel
f in\na dream riding on horseback across the Great Plains of South Dakota.
Just\nbefore he awoke\, he arrived at a riverbank in Minnesota and saw 38
of his\nDakota ancestors hanged. At the time\, Jim knew nothing of the ex
ecution\,\nwhich was ordered by Abraham Lincoln and took place on Dec. 26\
, 1862.\n“When you have dreams\, you know when they come from the creato
r\,” said\nMiller. “As any recovered alcoholic\, I made believe that I
didn’t get\nit. I tried to put it out of my mind\, yet it’s one of th
ose dreams that\nbothers you night and day.”
Four years l
ater\, embracing\nthe message of the dream\, Jim and a group of riders ret
race the 330-mile\nroute of his dream on horseback from Lower Brule\, Sout
h Dakota\, to Mankato\,\nMinnesota\, to arrive at the hanging site on the
anniversary of the\nexecution. “We can’t blame the wasichus a
nymore\,” said\nMiller. “We’re doing it to ourselves. We’re sellin
g drugs. We’re\nkilling our own people. That’s what this ride is about
\, is healing.”
Dakota 38 is the story of their
journey — the\nblizzards they endure\, the Native and non-Native commun
ities that house and\nfeed them along the way\, and the dark history they
are beginning to wipe\naway.
“We are honored to be screening this film\, and it’s being\noffered to the community free of charge in align ment with the wishes of\nSilas Hagerty\, the filmmaker\,” said Kristine Bretall\, The Center’s\nDirector of Performing Arts. “The mission of t his film is healing\, and\nSilas asks that it be screened as a gift in lin e with Native healing\npractices. We will accept donations to cover the co st of the screening\, but\nall are welcome and we do not want an admission fee to deter anyone from\nseeing this powerful film. I’d like to thank the Magic Lantern for\nhelping us fulfill this request.”
