Event Registration

St. Cloud State University professor Iyekiyapiwiƞ Darlene St. Clair will lead our group on the site, delivering a talk along the way and creating an experience that we can all relate to. 

Darlene says about this tour: "We are living, learning, and working in a particular place with a long, fascinating, troubling, and frequently unknown story. One goal for this tour is that participants begin to experience the place we live in as Mnisota Makoce, the Dakota Homelands. We will be visiting a Dakota sacred site located in an area that would later be called the Twin Cities."

We will email to confirm your spot and meet-up details.   

Please note, registration is limited to 20 participants.
