"Love and Loss After Wounded Knee" with Julie Dobrow
2025-11-30 15:00 - 17:00 | Bemis Hall, 15 Bedford Rd, Lincoln, MA, 01773, United States
Like most star-crossed lovers, they came from vastly different worlds. Elaine Goodale, a white woman who grew up on a farm in the remotest part of the Berkshires, was a poet, writer, and teacher who’d come to the Dakota Territory in 1884 to teach Native American children. Ohíye S’a, or Charles Alexander Eastman, was a Santee Sioux, born in Minnesota and one of the only Native Americans educated at Dartmouth College and Boston University Medical School. He’d come to Pine Ridge as a reservation physician. Elaine and Charles improbably met in December 1890, and more surprisingly, fell in love. And then the Wounded Knee Massacre happened, and changed everything. Hear biographer, Tufts University professor and Lincoln Historical Society member Julie Dobrow talk about her new dual biography, Love and Loss After Wounded Knee. Co-sponsored by the Lincoln Historical Society and Lincoln Public Library.
