FORWARD WIDELY! CALL IN YOUR SUPPORT TODAY FROM 1 PM - 3 PM!

On September 2nd, Members of Dakota Oyate reoccupied the land surrounding Coldwater Spring. As Dakota people who consider the spring as essential to our spiritual lifeway and the surrounding land as a part of our homeland of Bdote, we believe that we will be better stewards of the land than the United States has been. This is evidenced in the fact that the site is abandoned, littered with dilapidated structures, and the soil is polluted.

We intend to make use of the site by: providing a place for ceremonies; hosting a space for cultural teachings, Dakota language classes, and youth camps; and establishing gardens to distribute traditional foods to our elders.

Please contact the following persons and express your support for the Dakota people. Demand that the Department of the Interior transfer the 27-acres of the abandoned Bureau of Mines property back to Dakota people and conduct a full clean-up of the site, including the removal of dilapidated structures and restoration of the land to its previously pristine condition.
