The Elders: Stories from Fort Berthold – Minot State University
The Minot State University Native American Cultural Center, the MSU Diversity Council, and the Gordon B. Olson Library are proud to announce author and Minot State grad Hunter Andes will be on campus for an author visit during the University’s Native American Cultural Celebration taking place in November.
Andes, the author of “The Elders: Stories from Fort Berthold,” will discuss his book during the author visit on Nov. 7 at 3:30 p.m. in the Gordon B. Olson Library.
“The Elders: Stories from Fort Berthold,” explores the relocation of settlements Elbowoods, Nishu, Van Hook, and others, to build the Garrison Dam. In 1953, 1,700 individuals were relocated for the creation of Lake Sakakawea despite the Three Affiliated Tribes’ objection. Andes’ book explores those events through the eyes of four elders who shared their adult experiences living in the bottomlands and their subsequent relocation.
The event is free and open to the public, and books will be available for purchase.
