Rebecca Webster is an assistant professor in the American Indian Studies Department, University of Minnesota Duluth.
Been thinking about democracy lately? Same. As the received narrative about the United States and the founding fathers is being revised in many quarters these days, it might be informative to understand that white Europeans did not hatch democracy on this continent. Long before, the Three Fires Confederacy of the Anishinaabe and the Haudenosaunee Confederacy were participatory democracies. The Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts & Letters Roots of Democracy Series tackles this topic with a lecture from Rebecca Webster, Margaret Ann Noodin and Richard Monette. This online discussion and Q&A, via Zoom, is open to the public with advance registration.

The Madison essayist will read from her 2019 collection
The Painted Forest, a series of mostly Wisconsin-centric musings that often focus on Eastman s original home in the Driftless Area. The title essay centers on the folk art site of the same name in Valton, Wisconsin, but throughout the book, Eastman will have you reconsidering and reimagining this place we call home. The collection was named one of the best literary nonfiction debuts of 2019 by
Poets & Writers magazine and won the Council for Wisconsin Writersâ Nonfiction Book Award and an Outstanding Achievement Award from the Wisconsin Library Association. This reading from Shake Rag Alley in Mineral Point is, like the rest of its 2020-21 readings and discussions, offered virtually via Zoom. Register here.
