We invite the community to engage in conversation with the Jeremy and Collins of Thrive, the mural artist, and the Honoring Dakota team each Thursday afternoon at 4 PM at the mural site.

It is an opportunity to learn about the journey of this project and reflect on this piece of legacy art which will inspire us to continue to work in the community.

The Honoring Dakota Project is a process of community conversations and events that provide education to discover our shared stories, bridge our communities, and create a space for healing. There is an ongoing need to acknowledge the Dakota people as vital members of the Red Wing Community. Through art, shared experiences, and conversations we will uplift, honor, and celebrate our rich cultures.

We invite the broader community to embrace a fundamental Dakota understanding: “Mitakuye Owasin” - We are all related. It is a rare and precious opportunity to practice proper representation and inclusion - two communities within a larger community working to address and repair personal, interpersonal, and historical trauma.
