The Mankato Reconcilliation Powwow

After the 1862 Uprising, 38 Dakota men were hung in Mankato, Minnesota. This book chronicles the pow wow that seeks to bring harmony to that rift.

About the author

Loren Dean Boutin took up writing in his retirement after a forty-year career as a psychologist. This book follows two other published books: Cut Nose, based upon historical facts and describing the 1862 War with the Dakota Indians (and its aftermath), and While God Was Hidden, which details major parts of the author's life and his spiritual evolution from an abused Catholic altar boy to being a dyed-in-the-wool skeptic for several decades to finally acquiring a strong belief in Native American spirituality. Aside from writing, Dr. Boutin enjoys the company of his wife of nearly four decades, her fine cooking, a favorite cat, a large and growing extended family, many good friends, and a wide variety of activities including boating, fishing, other lakeside activities, gardening, traveling, and, overall, a very comfortable life in St. Peter, Minnesota.
