SUMMARY:Land of Everlasting Sky Book Launch & Signing
DESCRIPTION:Jill Swenson is the author of the new book\, The Land of Everlasting Sky: A Memoir of Loss and Legacy on Lake of the Woods. She is the great-granddaughter of Charlie and Ellen Kling\, who staked a homestead claim in 1904\, a few miles east of Warroad. Jill grew up in the Twin Cities and spent summer vacations up north with her cousins in Warroad as a kid. She was a college journalism professor\, a farmer\, and\, for the past fifteen years\, an editor of nonfiction books. \nToday’s presentation is a conversation about the history and heritage of two families – one immigrant\, one Indigenous. We intend to include you in the conversation and will save plenty of time for questions. Books will be available for sale and signing after the presentation. \nJoining us this afternoon is Don Kakaygeesick\, the great-grandson of Ojibway spiritual leader\, Kakaygeesick [“Everlasting Sky”]. Don is also a painter who received the North Star Award in 2021 for his lifetime of artistic achievements. He is also a ceremonial pipe carrier for Treaty 3 Council meetings held in Canada and lives in Warroad. \nModerator Kathy Magnusson is a member of the Roseau Public Library and the founding director of Wildewood Learning. She is a Social and Emotional Learning specialist who introduces and implements trauma- informed\, resiliency-based practices across organizations\, empowering leaders and staff to serve families\, children\, and youth effectively. She is also the author of the recently published children’s picture book Luna’s Light. Kathy will moderate today’s conversation with author Jill Swenson and Don Kakaygeesick. \n\nFREE Event at the Roseau County Museum\, July 13\, 11 AM\, co-hosted with the Roseau Public Library.\n\nBook Description\n\n\nFor fans of the series Finding Your Roots\, a compelling memoir about how land connects us all—and how\, if we are to mend our relations to each other and the earth\, we must first reckon with our past\, no matter how distant\, shameful\, or tragic. \nWhen Jill Swenson returns to her mother’s hometown after her funeral\, she finds a new Seven Clans Casino under construction in Warroad\, Minnesota\, on Lake of the Woods. There\, she learns\, Red Lake Nation has recently dispossessed descendants of Ojibway spiritual leader Kakaygeesick from their land—land where the family has lived for the last two centuries—and has also denied them tribal membership. \nIn searching for answers\, Jill meets the great-grandson of Kakaygeesick. Over weeks\, months\, and years\, a friendship forms between them\, and Jill gradually discovers what allotments\, blood quantum\, and the history of the Bureau of Indian Affairs have to do with her\, the great-granddaughter of immigrants who homesteaded on reservation land. Estranged from her father\, still mourning the suicide of her husband and the loss of their farm in upstate New York\, and now grieving her mother’s death\, Jill has spent decades trying to put the past behind her—but discovers the only path forward is to reckon with history. \nClear-eyed and yet deeply personal\, The Land of Everlasting Sky is a compelling exploration of the history we inherit and our relationships to land and each other.
