Writer and Historian Heather Bruegl will discuss the Dakota War of 1862 between the United States and various bands of the Dakota/Sioux Nations.  It was brought on by various treaty violations and ultimately ended with the mass execution of 38 Dakota warriors and the Dakotas banishment from their homelands in Minnesota.  Armed conflict between the United States and the Dakota people wouldn't end until the 1890 Massacre at Wounded Knee in South Dakota.
