Thursday, July 17, 9 AM-3 PM | Sacred Sites Tour- Healing MN Stories | Facilitators: Jen Galley & Amanda Berger | Cost: $65
Healing MN Stories : Healing Minnesota Stories is an effort to create understanding and healing between Native American and non-Native people, particularly those in faith communities. Native people have suffered deep trauma over many years, losing their land, language, and culture. While many people and institutions contributed to that trauma, it happened with the full participation of Christian churches. We all still need healing. Healing is possible, and churches have a role to play.
Sacred Sites Tour: The Sacred Sites Tour offers an opportunity to learn about Minnesota history from a Native perspective through story-telling and experiencing the sites in silence / meditation / reflection.
We will visit sites located around confluence of the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers, what the Dakota refer to as Bdote, or “meeting place of rivers,” including:
· Fort Snelling State Park
· Dakota Internment Camp following The Dakota-U.S. War
· Pilot Knob Hill, a traditional burial ground
