Lunch & Learn: Beads & Buffalo

Description

Lunch & Learn is a monthly program at the Vermillion Public Library designed to fit within your lunch hour! Join us for lunch on Friday, April 5th from 12:00 – 1:00 pm. We will be hosting Speakers Bureau Scholar Roderick Brown, who will be telling us about the tribal artifacts that can be found at the Dakota Discovery Museum in Mitchell, South Dakota. The presentation will focus on two factors intertwined with cultural change among Plains tribes, the introduction of glass beads, and the near extermination of bison. Refreshments will be served, and guests are also welcome to bring their own food. This program was made possible by the South Dakota Humanities Council, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
