Owámniyomni Okhódayapi

Owámniyomni Okhódayapi (formerly Friends of the Falls) is a Dakota-led non-profit. Our mission is to create a future where Dakota culture has a vital presence and Dakota values – such as mni wičóni, or water is life – are embedded into our communal existence.

We are currently working on the Owámniyomni project – a groundbreaking effort to heal a sacred Dakota site on the Mississippi River that has been desecrated by colonization and industrialization. We are transforming five acres of land in the heart of downtown Minneapolis into a place where Dakota people feel at home.

Join us as we reverse the erasure of Dakota people in our ancestral homelands.
