Upper Sioux Community authors give Dakota stories the spotlight in 'Voices from Pejuhutazizi'

UPPER SIOUX COMMUNITY, Minnesota — Walter “Super” LaBatte Jr. had no electricity in his home during most of his childhood years.

“So our entertainment was my dad telling stories at night,” LaBatte told his audience at the Grinder coffeehouse in Granite Falls on March 12.

The many stories he heard are alive today in “Voices From Pejuhutazizi: Dakota Stories and Storytellers.”
