Hutterites of South Dakota
March 18, 2012; 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Joanita Kant, SD Humanities scholar, author and former director of the Codington County Historical society, will present “Hutterites of South Dakota”. The program is based on her contacts and friendship with Hutterites since 1976 in eastern South Dakota. Kant examines their worldview through colony clothing patterns, children rearing practices, food customs, and history since their founding in 1528 in Europe. Those who attend may want to read publications by John Hostetler: Hutterite Society and Hutterite Life, and Michael Holzach’s The Forgotten People. Hosted by the Friends of the Watertown Regional Library, funding for this presentation was made possible by the SD Humanities Council, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. This is the first of a series of 4 entitled "Discover South Dakota: Interesting places and people" Stay tuned for more information...
