\"\"<\/a>PRIOR LAKE, MN \u2013 The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) recently opened a public exhibit that celebrates and chronicles the history of the tribe and allows visitors to experience Dakota culture. The exhibit is located in Ho\u010bokata Ti (2300 Tiwahe Circle, Shakopee), the SMSC\u2019s new cultural center and gathering space.
\nThe 3,805-square-foot exhibit, titled Mdewakanton: Dwellers of the Spirit Lake, enhances the public\u2019s knowledge and understanding of the Mdewakanton Dakota people and their history. Tours of the exhibit gallery will be offered to guests, where they can view a collection of Dakota Sioux artifacts. Ho\u010bokata Ti (ho-cho-kah-tah-tee) means \u201cthe lodge at the center of the camp\u201d in the Dakota language.
\n\u201cThis new center is the heart of our Community. Preserving our Dakota heritage is important to our people, and this exhibit gives our tribe an opportunity to share our culture and history with others,\u201d said SMSC Chairman Charles R. Vig. \u201cWe invite guests to come learn the story of the Mdewakanton Dakota.\u201d
\nThe exhibit includes artifacts such as arrowheads, tools and a dugout canoe, as well as artifacts on loan from the Smithsonian\u2019s National Museum of the American Indian. Visitors will learn the story of the tribe through audio and visual interactive elements that depict the history of Mdewakanton Dakota people, from their existence before settlers to making treaties with the U.S government, the U.S.-Dakota War and present day.
\nThe exhibit is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $7.50 for adults; $3.75 for children 12 and under; and $4 for seniors, veterans, students, Club M members, and family members of SMSC employees and team members. SMSC employees, team members, children 5 and under, and seniors over 65 receive free admission.
\nThe Ho\u010bokata Ti gift shop features a variety of Native-made art, books, beaded and quilled items, and craft supplies that build upon the cultural center\u2019s mission to educate visitors about the Dakota people. The outdoor trails, gardens and lower level of the building are not open to the public.<\/p>\n
