Good Relatives Series: Caring for the River
Dakota people view Ȟaȟa Wakpá (Mississippi River) to be a living relative, a source of life and abundance. What does it mean to be a good relative to the river? How can we care for her with respect and reciprocity? Join Owámniyomni Okhódayapi and partners for a roundtable discussion about awaŋyaŋkapi (all-encompassing care), river health, and environmental restoration.
The Sacred Water Shared Future campaign is powered by you! The heart of this centennial celebration is the incredible variety of events planned and hosted by our partners — community groups, nonprofits, businesses, schools, and individuals who feel a connection to the Mississippi River.
We do not host events ourselves; instead, we serve as a central hub for river-focused activities happening across the Twin Cities throughout 2026.
