Dakota Pow wow this weekend in Mendota Mn

Our heritage is linked to and through us and we are brothers and sisters in that connection. Creating community is the key to healing and finding peace here now. These displaced Natives have looked for a home here in Minnesota for a long time. Mendota was the root location for these people. The church there still supports them with sharing their space with them each year. The Natives believe there is no ownership of land, simply stewardship, as we are temporary here. I think we would benefit by keeping that in mind. Dick Bankcroft who lives nearby as shared his land with these people for a long time, opening this space for sweat lodges and get togethers. A noble expression of community. Join me Saturday afternoon as we honor him for his generosity. Singing, dancing, eating and friends galore - what a great way to spend a day!!
