On
August 16, at the Embassy Suites in Minneapolis, MN, the OIW will hold its 32nd
Annual Assembly. The timing is perfect - 150 years to the day, August 17, will
find us at the very site where this war began. Before the Sioux uprising could
be brought under control, at least 450 - and perhaps as many as 800 - whites
were killed, mostly non-combatants. Measured in terms of the number of lives
lost, the outbreak was the worst in American history, and launched a series of
Indian wars on the northern plains that did not end until 1890 at Wounded Knee,
South Dakota.
We will spend the first night at the
Embassy Suites in Minneapolis (actually Bloomington), the next two nights in
Mankato, MN, and our last night (the 19th) will be back in the Embassy Suites
for our banquet and wrap up. Some of the sites we will visit include New Ulm,
Mankato, Upper & Lower Sioux Agency, Fort Ridgley, the site of the battle
of Birch Coulee and Fort Snelling. We'll even have dinner in an 1852 German
Beer Garden!
The price for all of this is
$345.00, which includes all meals except one dinner, but does NOT include
lodging. Reservations for hotels must be made on your own - Hotel Information
Here. A deposit of $150.00 fully refundable until July 19, will hold your place.
If you want to be part of this fantastic opportunity to learn about one of our
least understood Indian wars, don't miss "Let Them Eat Grass."
