New events and opportunities

Today and tomorrow in Winona, Minnesota, the Winona Dakota Unity Alliance is hosting the Great Dakota Gathering, Homecoming, and Pow-wow all day today and Sunday, Sept. 10 at Unity Park (east end of Lake Winona). The event is a commemoration and homecoming, as well as an opportunity to educate people about the Dakota "Trail of Tears," when the Dakota were executed, imprisoned, and forcibly removed from their homeland (in present day Minnesota) following the Dakota War of 1862.
