Stories from Fort Sisseton Festival

This year Plains Story Share had a 'booth' at the Ft. Sisseton Historic festival and used it as an opportunity to spread the word about the Veterans History Project and collect stories from willing folks. This year turned out to be more of an experiment on how to approach the future of PSS projects than a success story, but we did find a few wonderful people who shared a part of their lives with us.
