SUMMARY:St. Paul – Learning from Place: Bdote
DESCRIPTION:Learning from Place: Bdote is an immersive experience that brings participants to sites of great significance to Dakota people in the Twin Cities.

We will be outside the entire time. Participants need to provide their own transportation\, lunch\, snacks\, and beverages.  \nThere will be about 1.5 miles of walking throughout the day\, sometimes on unpaved paths\, as well as standing for periods of time. We will provide audio headsets for amplification of the tour guides.
