Reconciliation Project

Reconciliation Project

Charred tipi skeletal frames and historic markers placed across the campus of Augustana University 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.
