X-WR-CALDESC:People tacitly accept dominant cultural stories and these stor
 ies\, if uncritically analyzed\, serve to perpetuate distorted perspective
 s of ourselves\, other cultures and peoples\, and our country.  \n\nStorie
 s construct and describe the world\, delineate personal and cultural ident
 ity\, serve as a recounting of historical events\, shape contemporary cult
 ure(s) and prescribe direction for the future. A story or narrative is a c
 ollection of memories selectively chosen to fit the needs of a particular 
 cultural group resulting in a device that controls the past and dictates t
 he future for all.\n\nAt this pivotal time\, stories that form how we view
  ourselves\, how we create relationships with the earth we live upon\, and
  each other\, need to be critically examined.\n\nPlease join Scot Zellmer\
 , faculty of Communications and American Indian Affairs at Minnesota State
  University for an evening where we examine our own local history and perh
 aps see the narrative through a different lens. \n\nAdmission is FREE of c
 harge. Please RSVP so that we can plan for space. \n\nSpeaker Bio\nScot ha
 s experienced and enjoyed several successful and significant careers and n
 ow centers his energies around research\, writing\, and teaching within th
 e fields of education and communication. \nHe is involved with many Americ
