The Reconciliation Project
Charred tipi skeletal frames and historic markers placed across the campus of Augustana College in eastern South Dakota for the Nobel Institute Peace Prize Forum in 1992. The temporary installation stood silent and ghost-like, with burnt lodgepole pines and trampled snow echoing memories of massacre and deceit alongside voices of reconciliation and remembrance recorded in English and Lakota on the historical markers scattered throughout the site. The Reconciliation Project is reviewed by Lucy Lippard in her book Lure of the Local. Video by (and thanks to) Lori Windle.
