Native American Heritage Month Guest Speaker: Dr. Ramona Klein
MINOT, N.D. – The Minot State University Native American Cultural Center is hosting a special Native American Heritage Month presentation featuring Ramona Klein.
The event, titled Native American Heritage Month Guest Speaker: Dr. Ramona Klein, is Thursday, Nov. 5, with an 11 a.m. session held for students, staff, and faculty and a 6 p.m. session open to the public. Both sessions will take place in the Hartnett Hall Collaboration Space and are free to attend.
"We are excited to have Dr. Klein speak about her experiences at the Fort Totten Boarding School,” said Lisa Hale, Native American Cultural Center coordinator. “Hearing firsthand from a survivor helps younger generations understand these events were real and had lasting impacts on Native families and communities. Although this history was often left untold, it is our responsibility to remember, learn from it, and work to ensure it never happens again."
Klein, an enrolled member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians, will share her personal experience as a survivor of the Fort Totten Boarding School. Through education, reflection, and open discussion, everyone can learn from those who endured this painful chapter in history. Klein's firsthand account offers a powerful opportunity to listen, learn, and honor the resilience of survivors.
For more information on the event, see the attached flyer.
This event is made possible by the Native American Cultural Center, MSU Diversity Council, and Student Activities.
