Voices of the Heartland is a collection of narratives in
the tradition of the Growing Up German-Russian series and
gleaned from the oral histories collection of the Dakota
Memories Oral History Project. The 3-6 minute narratives air
in the Dakota Datebook time slot each Monday and Friday at
8:35 a.m., 3:50 p.m., 6:30 p.m. and 7:50 p.m. continuing through
early October.
Jessica Clark, project coordinator, explained that these interviews
are designed to preserve the precious history and heritage of Germans
from Russia on the Northern Plains. The series is hosted by State
Senators Tim Mathern and Robert Erbele.
