December 5, 2015, Saturday - Feast of Words Family Event at Mill City Museum

Time: 11 am – 3 pm

Location: Mill City Museum, 704 S 2nd Street

Feast of Words Family Event

Minnesota. Where did this name come from? The Dakota language is the first language of Minnesota, yet few Minnesotans know the meaning of the name of their state. Feast of Words is a family event centered on this place we all call home, Mnísota (Minnesota). Learn about indigenous place names throughout the state, try local indigenous foods, learn to prepare wóžapi, a traditional Dakota berry pudding, and immerse yourself in the Dakota language. The program begins at 11 am and again at 1:30 pm and lasts 90 minutes. This program is presented by the Dakhóta Iápi Okhódakičhiye (Dakota Language Society) and the Healing Place Collaborative.

The program is free, but reservations are required. For reservations: http://tickets.mnhs.org/show_events_list.asp?shcode=692
