Wakan Tipi Awanyankapi invites you to our annual Wotakuye Gathering at the Wigington Pavilion at Harriet Island on Thursday, October 3rd from 6 – 8 pm.

Wotakuye means "kinship" in Dakota, and this event celebrates and honors the kinship between our partner organizations, volunteers, donors, and all who've supported our work while raising funds to support our ongoing cultural and environmental programs.

This year, we will be honoring the role of mni (water) in our work as a Dakota-led environmental organization. We will highlight our progress towards daylighting Phalen Creek and celebrate the start of construction on our signature project, Wakaŋ Tipi Center, which will open in 2025.

Our Wotakuye Gathering will feature traditional drum songs from Imnizaska Singers, a dinner catered by Native Harvest, a zero-proof cocktail bar, a silent auction, and we'll be debuting a short film about our recent work to daylight Phalen Creek.
