Join us in Celebrating the Waḳaƞ Ṭípi Center!

After decades of community organizing and a multi-year campaign, we are excited to officially open the doors to the Waḳaŋ Ṭípi Center on the East Side of St. Paul.

Designed to honor the significance of Waḳaŋ Ṭípi Cave as a Dakota sacred site, the goal of Waḳaŋ Ṭípi Center is to serve as an intergenerational gathering place.

The Grand Opening will feature reflections from partners, drum group Toká Máza, giveaways, and a shared meal.
