A new fellowship set to begin next year will provide six Dakota youth ages 18-24 with the opportunity to research and tell stories of their communities' history in the Winona area. The program comes from the Winona County History Center in partnership with Prairie Island Indian Community and Lower Sioux Indian Community.
The goal for the fellows is to answer the questions: What do I want Winona to know about my community? And what do I want my community to know and honor?
Stephen Curley, director of partnership initiatives at the Winona County History Center, joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk more about the five-month program, which will take applications through Nov. 30.
