In the wake of the US-Dakota War of 1862, the government expelled most Dakota Indians from Minnesota. One of the few permitted to remain was Celia Campbell Stay, a woman of mixed Anglo-Dakota ancestry. Forced by war to refashion her life, she disguised her Dakota roots and created a new identity for herself as a non-Indian settler. With historian Annette Atkins.
