Dakota Homeland Frames

The Minnesota and Mississippi River Greenways offer evocative settings for discovery and learning, immersing visitors in thriving riparian ecosystems. While this stretch of river has endured great changes, it has long been and still is Dakota homeland. Along the trail, visitor encounter ten ‘Ded Dakota Makoce: This is Dakota Homeland’ messaging features that provide insight into Dakota culture and how Dakota people interact with this environment. The messaging features present stories that have not been widely shared with non-Indigenous audiences, inspiring sensory interactions with the landscape and offering an invitation to learn from these places through new perspectives.
