JFC... growing up in South Dakota, every wacipi/powwow I ever attended started with a color guard. If the *Lakota* can proudly fly the U.S. flag while recognizing (even embracing) the complexity of the symbolism, you can fucking too, buddy.

Today was my kiddo’s first grand entry in her jingle dress. It made my heart happy to enter the ring with the veterans, elders, honored guests, royalty, and dancers at Prairie Island Indian Community Wacipi this afternoon. It was a good day.

This isn’t distant history. My great great grandpa was a child in that concentration camp. His daughter, my great grandma, died in 1979. She was a strong Dakota Winyan. A survivor, as were all my D/Nakota grandparents (and great grands). I’m in my 50s. She called me Pinky and made my wacipi regalia.

It’s horrific! Also …

US Department of War imprisoned my g-grandma’s dad and his family in Fort Snelling after Dakota Conflict in 1862. That is where ICE is currently based out of Whipple Bldg in Minneapolis.

She died in 1978, I am in my 50s. She made my wacipi regalia.

That facility sits near the center of all things. Our Dakota creation at Bdote. My Mdewakantowan ancestors were imprisoned at Ft Snelling in 1862. Many were killed on forced march to the fort. Over the winter, disease took more before being exiled by train/steamboat to starve at Crow Creek in SoDak.
