Greetings MnSTA Members! 

I am pleased to share with you the opportunity to receive a free copy of the book, Wildfire: The Culture, Science, and Future of Fire . This resource is made possible through a gift from the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community, Understand Native Minnesota campaign. We are grateful for their purchase of copies of this book and approaching MnSTA as an organization to receive this book. We hope this book will help you gain background knowledge about the role of fires in an ecosystem and the way Indigenous communities use fire. To request your free copy, please complete this form by Wednesday, August 14, 2024; the book will be mailed to you at the address you provide. Please note, that this opportunity is reserved for MnSTA members, limited to one copy per person and  limited to the first 650 members that complete this form.  If you know of others that may wish to receive a copy, please encourage them to join MnSTA at this link: Membership 

In addition to providing members a copy of the book, the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community is buying and donating enough copies of this book to give away classroom sets to teachers. The first opportunity to obtain classroom sets will be at our fall conference on science education (MNCOSE). This annual conference connecting science educators from across the state is scheduled for November 1st and 2nd in St. Cloud. More information and registration can be found here: https://www.mnsta.org/cgi/page.cgi/MnCOSE24.html.

We look forward to hearing how you use this resource and connecting with many of you at the conference.
