ࡱ> 8:7 bjbj?? $]] cccccwwwww  w3555555F5c5 ccJ   :cc3 3  cc +^w: ' `0    c  ):   Dear Commissioner McLaughlin and Ms. Hatt: Just today I received a review of Waziyatawin's book, What Does Justice Look Like? The Struggle for Liberation in Dakota Homeland, published in the powerful and prestigious review journal CHOICE, a publication of the American Library Association, which services academic libraries at all levels. The last two sentences are particularly relevant for the issue of what to do at Fort Snelling: "Waziyatawin makes a convincing case that the devastation of colonization continues through public policy and the hegemonic construction of public opinion. In that sense, the book's impact can be felt in the daily lives of many Native Americans today." Here is the review in full: CHOICE: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries A division of the American Library Association August 2009 Vol. 46 No. 11 Waziyatawin. What does justice look like?: The struggle for liberation in Dakota homeland. Living Justice Press, 2008. 192p index ISBN 9780972188654 pbk. $18.00 In this important work, Waziyatawin (indigenous governance, Univ. of Victoria, BC) develops the history of the Dakota Indians in Minnesota. She reveals through summaries of Sioux [sic] interaction with the Ojibwa and then white settlers that what Americans know as Minnesota has always been the homeland of the Dakota. Further, the historic accounts of the interaction between Native Americans and white colonizers have necessarily been told in the voice of the colonizer. There is another half to history. The author discusses the origin accounts that are inherent in the Dakota culture that, as is the case with many if not most Indian people, are at odds with the conventional wisdom held by Western academia. While Waziyatawin's use of origin and history to establish the Dakota in what is now Minnesota is fascinating, it is merely a foundation for the gist of the book-the impact of first contact with whites and the continuing effects of colonization. Waziyatawin makes a convincing case that the devastation of colonization continues through public policy and the hegemonic construction of public opinion. In that sense, the book's impact can be felt in the daily lives of many Native Americans today. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels/libraries. - F. E. Knowles, Valdosta State University Because the role of education -- what has been taught, what has not been taught, which perspective has been privileged and which not in our educational institutions -- is so powerful in shaping public opinion, I thought you would both be interested in this review. Fort Snelling and the public opinion surrounding it is a clear case of 150 years of one-sided "education." Thank you again for your time and consideration.
