SUMMARY:Shadows at the Crossing: Spirits of Old Traverse des Sioux
DESCRIPTION:During Shadows at the Crossing\, step into the past on this immersive\, lantern-lit outdoor tour that brings the history of Minnesota Territory to life. Along the way\, you’ll encounter the spirits of those who lived at Traverse des Sioux during its most pivotal years. Their stories of courage\, conflict\, resilience\, and cooperation offer a deeper understanding of our shared history.  \nOnce a key gathering place along the Minnesota River\, Traverse des Sioux experienced a surge in prosperity after the signing of the 1851 treaty\, but its growth was short-lived. Today\, little remains of the once-thriving town\, making this event a rare opportunity to explore its layered legacy. \nTickets:\n Adult: $12\n Senior (65+): $10\n Youth (ages 12–17): $5\n MNHS & NCHS members receive a 20% discount\n Recommended for ages 12 and up due to the interpretive nature of the program. \nAdvance purchase recommended. Walk-ups will be accommodated as space allows.\nTickets go on sale Friday\, September 12.

SUMMARY:Film Series | Choctaw Code Talkers
DESCRIPTION:Choctaw Code Talkers is the personal and heartfelt story of Choctaw soldiers whose dedication and bravery assisted in ending World War I\, even though\, as individuals\, the men were not recognized as American citizens. In 1918\, in Northern France\, during the fiercest and bloodiest battles of World War I\, a small core of Choctaw American Indian soldiers foiled the German oppressors. These brave men used their Native language to transmit secure messages as part of the American Expeditionary Forces\, helping turn the tide of the war and ensuring an Allied victory. These men had volunteered to fight for the government that only a few decades before had caused the Choctaw Nation to experience a great tragedy known as the “Trail of Tears Removal.” \nThe film combines original archival war footage and images with testimonies from the Code Talkers’ families\, Choctaw Tribal leaders\, linguists\, military personnel and historians. Shot on location in multiple cities throughout Oklahoma and in Los Angeles\, California\, the program also includes intimate scenes from remote areas of Tribal Trust Land\, as well as museums and military bases. Choctaw Code Talkers brings a unique perspective to these forgotten heroes and their early wartime contributions. \n60 min.\, NR. \n<<WATCH THE TRAILER>>\n——\nThe Nicollet County Historical Society and Saint Peter Community and Family Education present these documentaries in partnership. The public is welcome to join us for these free films at the Treaty Site History Center.
