Dakota Sacred Sites Tours, Minnesota Council of Churches, July 29 & September 21

July 24, 2023

Healing Minnesota Stories is an effort to create understanding and healing between Native American and non-Native people, particularly those in various faith communities. Native people have suffered deep trauma over many years, losing their land, language, and culture; all who call Minnesota home are the lesser for it. 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 doable, and churches have a role to play in healing.

We believe in the healing power of stories. One way church members can engage in healing is by participating in Healing Minnesota Stories Dakota Sacred Sites Tours. Groups travel to local places and hear stories about why these places are both sacred and traumatic to the Dakota people. Attendance is limited. FYI: Tours have been popular and fill quickly.
