About Us
Waḳaƞ Ṭípi Awaƞyaƞkapi is a Daḳota-led and Native-run nonprofit organization dedicated to the stewardship and protection of Waḳaƞ Ṭípi, a Daḳota sacred site along the Mississippi River. Our work is fundamentally accountable to the land. Through land stewardship and restoration, sharing of traditional and ecological knowledge, and by building cultural connections, Waḳaƞ Ṭípi Awaƞyaƞkapi engages all people to honor and care for our natural places, sacred sites and the cultural value within them.
With the help of supporters like you, Waḳaƞ Ṭípi Awaƞyaƞkapi fulfilled a decades-long vision by opening the Waḳaƞ Ṭípi Center in May of this year. The center serves as an intergenerational gathering place honoring Wakaƞ Tipi as a sacred site.
The opening of the center ensured that the next seven generations have a space that is wholly dedicated to the preservation, education and celebration of Daḳota culture.
For this GTMD, we invite our community to help us keep the momentum moving forward by giving a gift for mission support to ensure the next seven generations will benefit from the work done today.
