HOCOKATA TI | Experience Dakota History!
Get your students out of the classroom with a guided tour of Hoċokata Ti’s public exhibit, Mdewakanton: Dwellers of the Spirit Lake, which provides visitors with an experience that will enhance their knowledge and understanding of the Mdewakanton Dakota people and their history.
Whether guests prefer to explore the exhibit on their own or desire a group guided tour, Mdewakanton: Dwellers of the Spirit Lake will provide guests with a traditional Mdewakanton Dakota experience unlike any other.
Bring history to life and let one of our professional cultural interpreters guide your group through the exhibit as they provide insight into the meaning behind the displays and artifacts. Our immersive and interactive exhibit gives guests a better understanding of Mdewakanton lifeways that can’t be experienced through books.
