Program presenter Dr. Jane Lamm Carroll will examine the experiences of four granddaughters of Chief Cloudman, bicultural women who grew up near Lake Harriet; and of another Anglo-Dakota, Daybreak Woman, who was born and raised in a Mdewakanton band at a trading post on the Minnesota River. Compared to their peers, how did these women of mixed parentage identify, socialize, and navigate language, culture, marriage, family life, and aging? Were they comfortable or at ease in the Anglo-American or the Dakota communities?
Dr. Carroll is author of the award-winning book, Daybreak Woman: An Anglo-Dakota Life, and professor of history and women’s studies at St. Catherine University.

Since 1883 Cottage City has experienced on-going transition. From the beginning, modest lake cottages built on small lots south of Bde Maka Ska have been replaced by bigger homes. Our tour will recall the initial community and consider the twin impacts of evolving design styles and recent larger-scale buildings.
We will meet at the southeast corner of Thomas Avenue South and West Bde Maka Ska Parkway.
The tour will be held rain or shine — except if an electrical storm is forecasted the morning of the tour.
Suggested donation at the walking tour will be $5 for non-members of LHHSG.
Register for one of the two tours. Attendance is limited to 25.
This program tells the story of two churches–their history, their architecture, and their
neighborhoods. Linden Hills Congregational Church grew out of the Union Sunday School, which began meeting in 1896. By 1903, charter members had built a frame church building at 42nd and Upton designed by George H. Keith. The Linden Hills congregation later provided help to the founding members of the Morningside church as they sought meeting space. This began an enduring relationship between the two congregations each of which helped shape neighborhood life. The Edina Morningside Community Church building was designed by Harry Wild Jones.
