Commissioned Student Organization<\/p>\n
Mission<\/strong><\/p>\n It shall be the purpose of\u00a0Th\u00f3 Wi\u014b Magazine to act as the on-campus literary, visual, and musical arts publication, taking submissions and publishing the works of students and faculty as it has since its origin in 1974.<\/p>\n Formerly known as Murphy Square, the name of the organization and literary journal has been changed to Th\u00f3 Wi\u014b Magazine. This decision was made by the 2021-2022 school year’s board in order to distance the organization from the colonial roots of Murphy Square Park and to promote equity and inclusion\u00a0within the publishing industry, starting here at Augsburg University.<\/p>\n \u201cMinnesota, being home to the Dakota people for thousands of years, has many places of power. One of which is located at what is now Indian Mounds Park, which is home to earth mounds that reflect a star constellation honoring Th\u00f3 Wi\u014b. To the Dakh\u00f3ta people, the Blue Star Woman is the entity that sends you to earth. But she is also the first entity you meet when you die. The Dakh\u00f3ta have no heaven or hell, only life and then afterlife. This name honors our local places of power and ancient Dakh\u00f3ta Star knowledge.\u201d \u2014Reuben \u201cKitto\u201d Stately<\/p>\n Officers<\/strong><\/p>\n Lead Editors: Jacey Mismash and Jack Jensen<\/p>\n Managing Editor: Corey Hayden<\/p>\n Layout Editor\/Art Director: Marcia Rowe<\/p>\n Assistant Editor: Sana Wazwaz<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/96\/2021\/11\/1500-300x300.png\")
