Description

Learn about the history of the land that we live on from a Native American perspective through storytelling. Through visiting Native American Sacred Sites, you will be invited to listen, reflect, and dialogue about Christian colonization as we consider together how to create a just society that embraces religious solidarity. The tour centers around the confluence of the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers, what the Dakota refer to as Bdote, or “meeting place of rivers.” The tour stops include Fort Snelling, the site of the Dakota internment camp following the Dakota-U.S. War, and Pilot Knob Hill, a traditional burial ground. Tour is led by Jim Bear Jacobs (Mohican) and Bob Klanderud (Dakota/Lakota). Come prepared for the weather; we will spend some time outside.
