ABSTRACT
Throughout the years, we (Wilfred and Katie) have been exploring and developing our questions together around what reconciliation looks like here in the United States, specifically what it means here in Mahkato (Mankato), Minnesota. The Reconciliation Sense-Making Framework was born from these explorations. It started with an idea for a truth, healing and reconciliation game, formed through kinship between Wilfred Keeble and Katie Boone. The game is designed for story sharing and co-inquiring, learning from the truth of what unfolded in Mankato. This place is the site of the largest mass execution on United States soil, and the game works to elicit new questions through new understandings from the intercultural spaces where the oral histories can be shared. We have found that it is through the questions that we find our way to the ‘how’ we do this work.
