Featured poets: Lori Walsh, Joyce Jefferson, Tracy Hauff, and Lanniko Lee

The South Dakota Art Museum hosted a reception for Navigating Narratives: The Corps of Discovery in Titonwan Territory this past Saturday. The highlight was an outdoor poetry reading by four of the exhibition poets in the museum's shaded plaza on a clear and calm early evening.

"These Men" is the prose piece that Tracy Hauff penned for Sunday, September 30, 1804. It is an imaginative accounting of that day's events from the viewpoint of Mni Sose, the Missouri River.

This year’s educational art exhibit from the Center for American  Indian Research and Native Studies (CAIRNS) focuses on the articles of  the 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty between the “different bands of the Sioux  Nation of Indians” and the United States. 

Contemporary Oceti  Sakowin artists, poets and musicians interpret the seventeen articles of  the treaty through their works, which are presented alongside the text  of the articles. More information on the exhibition can be found on the  CAIRNS website:

The  1868 treaty acknowledged that the Sioux are a sovereign nation. In my  eyes, continuing the sovereignty of the Sioux Nation and ownership of  the Black Hills are critical aspects that came out of signing the Fort  Laramie Treaty, and the terms of the treaty are as valid today as they  were in 1868. The United States Constitution, Article IV, Clause 2,  establishes that treaties constitute the supreme law of the land. We  must never forget this.‒TRACY HAUFF, OGLALA SIOUX TRIBE, 2019
