The Daḳota name for October is C̣aŋwapekasna wi (Moon When the Trees Shake their Leaves). It's easy to see where this name comes from, as the leaves change color and fall from the trees. Some Daḳota communities use Wayuksapi Wi (Harvest Moon) for October.

Visit the Waḳaƞ Ṭípi center to see the works of Rubia Buck, Alayna Eagle Shield, Leah Thomas, and Thomasina Top Bear in Wiƞyaƞ, a Creative Force, now on display in the exhibit hall.

There is still time to enjoy the flowers this fall! While most of our native wildflowers are now entering dormancy or finishing with seed production, these fall blooms are going strong. They provide food for our pollinators during the last couple months of the growing season, which allows pollinators to prepare for overwintering and migration. Waḳaƞ Ṭípi Awaƞyaƞkapi's Land and Environment team has been integrating more late blooming plant species in seed mixes and plantings to ensure our pollinator relatives have a variety of options available.

What is your favorite native fall bloom?

Septembers plant of the Month selected by the WTA Land & Environment team is the partridge pea! The distinct features of this legume are its symmetrical foliage with leaves opposite arranging and deep maroon seed pods in the fall. During the winter, the seeds pods are food for small animals and birds. It is a particular favorite of pollinators and serves as a larval host for Little Yellow and Orange Sulfur butterflies. Let us know if you've spotted this plant around the sanctuary site on your visit! 🌱✨😊

This summer WTA was awarded the opportunity to have 2 interns on staff to support the land and enviroment team who oversee the sanctuary. Mio and Talofa spent the summer participating in land stewardship activies including native plantings, gardening, invasive species management, and site maintence. Both interns brought so much care and knowledge to their roles, which has made it sad to seem them go, but we know both of these talented individuals will go on to do amazing things. ✨🌿
