Place-Based Workshop
Learning from Place: Bdote
Offered in partnership with Minnesota Humanities Center
Thursday, July 10, 20257:20 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.
This is an immersive, place-based experience led by Dakota community members that visits sites of great significance in the Twin Cities adjacent to the Wakpá Taŋka (Mississippi River) to share Dakota history and the impacts of settler contact. Workshop attendees will get to travel beyond traditional conference borders with a 6 hour outdoor experience that will take place on Thursday, July 10th.
While the workshop will focus on the experience of Dakota Peoples in Minnesota, participants will gain insights relevant to the places they call home and Indigenous communities they neighbor. Participants can expect to come away with a new perspective on how to engage in place-based and culturally relevant science praxis with a fuller history of the Indigenous lands each of us inhabits, whether in Minnesota or elsewhere.
