Honoring Dakota Project hosted a Mni Sota plates painting event in Winona, Mni Sota.

We had so many creative relatives put their heart into their creations.

One for them to keep and one for them to donate to HDP for an upcoming event.

We are so thankful for the hospitality Winona community embraces us with every time we visit the homelands.

Honoring Dakota Project held two open houses for staff and students at Winona State University this week.

We are so excited to be apart of the Education Community for the upcoming academic year!

After we finished our campus engagements we met up with L&E and RWA to have a visit with our aquatic plant relatives this afternoon.

As we get ready to close out another Honorable Harvesting Season, it comes with deep reflections.

This year we started taking our former Interns that have now graduated and became our Apprentices, to work with us in Winona this summer.

The students that just graduated from Red Wing Public Schools in the class of 2026, was our largest number of Interns.

They were freshmen in high school when HDP started as a program under Red Wing Arts.

For four years we had them under our guidance during cultural teachings and community engagement events.

Now adults, they’re engaged, well spoken and represent Honoring Dakota Project beautifully.

To our ROCKSTAR youth group, HDP is so blessed to be apart of your world and you all apart of ours!!

The Dakota name for August is Wasuṭuŋ wi (when things are ripe). In late summer, many wild fruits, nuts, and berries are ripe and ready to be gathered, like raspberries, plums, grapes, and hazelnuts. In some Dakota communities, another name for August is Kanta Ṣa Wi (Moon When the Plums are Red) or Woksapi Wi (Harvest Moon).
