Before it was a fort, it was sacred. At the confluence of the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers lies Bdote—a Dakota word meaning “where two waters come together.” For generations, this was a place of ceremony, and community for the Dakota people. Just above it, the U.S. built Fort Snelling — Today, this land is both a place of deep trauma and enduring spirit. May we learn the full story. May we remember. #bdote #fortsnelling #oneminutetours
