SUMMARY:Celebrating 250 Years: Songs of America's Hometowns with Charlie Maguire
DESCRIPTION:April 23 | 7pm | Warroad RiverPlace \nFree & Open to the Public \nEvent Page HERE \nFolk musician Charlie Maguire presents a program reflecting on the lives of everyday Americans as the country approaches its 250th anniversary in 2026.

Maguire performs using guitar\, harmonica\, jawharp\, spoons\, and even a frying pan\, creating a sound that is both simple and rich in tradition. \nBlending music\, storytelling\, and a bit of humor\, this program offers a down-to-earth look at American life\, past and present\, and leaves audiences with a strong sense of connection to the people and places that continue to shape the nation.

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\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. \nBook will be available for purchase the day of the event.

SUMMARY:Prohibition: 90 Years of Temperance\, Temptation & Song 
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nProhibition defined — and divided — America through the 1920s\, ushering in an era of dizzying new freedoms even as it sought to curb some of the nation’s worst social ills. Born from the same reforming zeal that had helped end slavery and given women the vote\, Prohibition fueled the rise of organized crime\, corrupted civic institutions and turned millions of ordinary citizens into lawbreakers before it was eventually repealed in 1933. Beginning in the mid-19th century through the Jazz Age\, popular song reflected both the scourge of alcohol abuse and the wistfulness of a people barred from partaking in one of their greatest pleasures. Cecelia Otto’s American Songline program Prohibition: 90 Years of Temperance\, Temptation & Song chronicles the entire era through the songs sung by both “wets” and “drys\,” from Victorian parlor songs like “Father’s a Drunkard and Mother Is Dead” to Tin Pan Alley favorites like Irving Berlin’s “See You in C-U-B-A” — and even speakeasy favorites like “The Charleston.” \nAugust 18\, 6 pm at the Roseau Four Seasons Center – Free Event\n \nCecelia “Cece” Otto is a classically trained singer\, composer\, international best-selling author and historian who has performed in venues all over the world both as a soloist and in ensemble. She graduated from Perpich Arts High School\, went on to study linguistics and music at Macalester College\, and later earned the first (and only) Interdepartmental Dual Master’s \nDegree in Vocal Performance and Composition from the Lamont School of Music at the University of Denver. In 2013\, she completed her cross-country musical journey An American Songline\, performing 30 concerts of historic vintage music on venues along the Lincoln Highway. \nCece then went on to create other historical programs such as The Songs of World War I\, which was endorsed by the World War I Centennial Commission in Washington DC; Centennial of Suffrage\, which examined the fight to secure voting rights for women; and Prohibition: 90 Years of Temperance\, Temptation & Song. She has written books and recorded albums \nbased on her research and is an active member of several regional and national historical groups. She is currently developing programs based around the music of the Great Depression and World War II. \n  \n This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board\, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund and by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
