Wakan Tipi: the center of the universe

To many people, the bend in the river south of downtown Saint Paul is empty space—a no-man’s land at the base of the bluffs, filled with an underused park and some of the busiest train tracks in the country. But to the Dakota people, this is wakan tipi, the center of the Dakota universe. KFAI’s Bill Lindeke took a tour with Jim Rock and Roxanne Gould, two native American custodians of the area, who have spent years fighting to revitalize and restore this sacred space.
