    What is name reclamation? What does a public process of name restoration look like, and why does it matter? 

    Join us for a conversation about the process of restoring and reclaiming Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis, MN, on Thursday, Mar 18, 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm (Central)

    Panelists include Dr. Kate Beane (Flandreau Santee Sioux Dakota), Carly Bad Heart Bull (Flandreau Santee Sioux Dakota), and Tracy Nordstrom. Moderated by former Minnesota Public Radio news host Tom Weber.
