An invitation from the South Dakota Humanities Council, that includes opportunities for discussion, writing, and publication:

In celebration of our 40th Anniversary, the South Dakota Humanities Council is looking for your stories to answer the question “What Makes a South Dakotan?”  Your entries and perspectives will make up the fifth volume of SDHC’s South Dakota Stories series, which we will release in Sioux Falls at our 10th Annual South Dakota Festival of Books (September 28-30, 2012).  To help spur this discussion and get you thinking about such a broad question, we invite you to take part in one of many Civic Reflection discussions that SDHC will be sponsoring in the upcoming months.  Learn more at www.sdhumanities.org!
