Check out the exhibit that is at Hoċokata Ti (the Mdewakanton cultural center in Shakopee):

For the next session on November 18 (virtual, at 1PM), here is the homework:
In advance, we’d ask you to consider the following reflection questions:
- In what ways did the events impact you, personally? In what ways did the events impact those you know?
- How did your thoughts shift on the presence of racism in our community?
- In what ways might this racial reckoning impact how we (guides and staff) interact with visitors at Mia?
We envision small group discussions where we will ask one person in each group to act as a facilitator, to allow for all to share their thoughts. We will provide meeting agreements for this portion of the session.
