Celebrating 50 Years of Tiospaye

The John A. Day Gallery at the University of South Dakota is exhibiting historical images from the USD Photograph Collection and recordings from the South Dakota Oral History Center through March 28, in celebration of the long history of the student led wacipi (often referred to as powwow) at USD.

Celebrating 50 Years of Tiospaye is a pop up installation which grew out of several initiatives.

USD Native Services (NSS), USD Archives and Special Collections (A&SC), and Digital Imaging Lab, Digital Library and Photographs (DIL/DL/P) partnered together to locate, identify, and digitize images related to the Annual Wacipi held in the A&SC. The wacipi was and continues to be hosted by the Tiospaye Student Council, the Native American student group on campus, founded in 1957. The photographs range in date from 1966 to 1999 and also feature members of the Tiospaye Student Council, USD Native alumni, and various events held in collaboration with the Annual Wacipi. 

Over the past year, this unique partnership included the identification of more than 700 negatives by Dr. John Little, Director of Native Recruitment & Alumni Engagement. Sarah Hanson-Pareek, head of the DIL/DL/P, and Library Technology Librarian Anne Hinseth imaged the negatives and efforts are now underway to have them entered in the Digital Library of South Dakota for the 50^th Anniversary Wacipi on April 6 and April 7 at the Sanford Coyote Sports Center. Amy Fill, director of the University Art Galleries, selected four images from the collection to place on view in the Day Gallery.

The wacipi project is part of a larger project by NSS focused on finding all photographs featuring Native content throughout USD’s history held in the A&SC. Research includes other formats and materials held both in the A&SC and the South Dakota Oral History Center. Of particular importance is an early wacipi recording at USD from 1971, AIRP 625, in which “participants describe costumes, music, and giveaways.” The recording is included in this exhibition.

Digital Humanities News

 Throughout the spring semester, USD Digital Humanities Librarian Lindsey Peterson has hosted several primary source workshops for K-12 students. She visited Flandreau High School to speak to history, government, and economics students about the importance of archival research to their studies and future careers. Working with six class sessions of students, they workshopped how to identify tertiary, secondary, and primary resources and locate primary sources in digital and physical archives, like USD’s Archives and Special Collections and the South Dakota Oral History Center. They also discussed how to evaluate the benefits and limitations of historical documents, place them in context, and identify perspectives found within sources.

In collaboration with Iowa’s National History Day program and the Iowa State Historical Society, Peterson also worked with middle school students from central Iowa schools to develop methods for critically analyzing primary sources and including them into their National History Day research. Using a sample thesis statement about the American Civil War as a turning point in history, students used the Emancipation Proclamation, Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the 1866 Cherokee Nation’s treaty with the U.S. government, and nine letters from the Civil War & Reconstruction Governors of Mississippi Project to critique the limitations of their test thesis. Students incorporated a variety of perspectives and experiences—including letters authored by former slaveholding men and women, Mississippi Unionists, freedmen, and officials from Mississippi’s state penitentiary system—to craft a far richer, more complicated history about emancipation. The primary source evaluation and argument revision skills they practiced today will benefit them as they develop their projects on turning points in history for National History Day.  

Finally, she delivered a guest lecture and ran a workshop in March with the New York Historical Society’s Student Historian Internship program. High school students transcribed CWRGM documents and discussed the importance and challenges of editing historical documents for born digital editions. Then Peterson introduced students to the workflows and components of scholarly digital editions like CWRGM, and they discussed importance of increasing digital access to cultural heritage materials, like nineteenth century governors’ records, and the challenges they can present.
