Tour Mdewakantan Sioux Cultural Center

The Racial Justice Team has arranged for a group tour with a guide at Hoċokata Ṫi, the cultural center for the Mdewakanton Sioux Community in Shakopee, to which all interested participants are invited.

Date: Saturday, March 9, 10 a.m. at the site (tour expected to last 60-90 minutes).

Cost: $7 per person. Please notify the church office (office@nokomisheights.org / 612-825-6846) to sign up so we know how many plan to participate. You can pay in advance or give us the $7 on the day of the tour.

Carpool if interested from Nokomis Heights: mention to the office when you sign up and plan to meet at 9 a.m. We’ll leave no later than 9:15.

Location if not planning to carpool: Hoċokata Ṫi, 2300 Tiwahe Cir, Shakopee, MN 55379

Hoċokata Ṫi [ho-cho-kah-tah-tee] has a 3,805-square-foot public exhibit, called Mdewakanton: Dwellers of the Spirit Lake. It provides visitors with a cultural experience that enhances their knowledge and understanding of the Mdewakanton Dakota people and their history. You can learn more about it at: https://shakopeedakota.org/culture/hocokatati/ .

This will be a great opportunity to expand your knowledge if you have attended one of the Sacred Sites tours, or to prime your learning if you plan to sign up for the Sacred Sites tour that will be available through Nokomis Heights later this spring!
