The Blue Earth County Historical Society invited artist T. Carter to talk about one of her works: a quilted dance shawl.
Carter says the shawl was made as a piece of forgiveness and remembrance for the 38 Dakota tribe members hanged in Mankato during the US–Dakota War of 1862.
"People are stuck with either fear or guilt with the Dakota–US war of 1862. So I created this shawl as a way to move us forward and get us out of our guilt and anger," she says.
Feel Little Thunder is a descendent of one of the Dakota 38.
He says the occasion is an opportunity for understanding, adding, "I think it's time for us to acknowledge of all our wrongs that both races did to each other, and do this healing ceremony and go on with life as human beings under one creator."
You can see Carter's dance shawl, along with other pieces by American Indian artists, on display at the historical society until the end of the month, as part of its "Discover the Dakota Culture and Heritage" series.
