Homecoming

Dakota people talk about the beneficial personal and cultural effects of the Bde Maka Ska name restoration.

These videos express the good feeling that Dakota people experience when they see Dakota names for traditional places and visit places that recognize the long relationship of the Dakota to these places.  It is important to the culture that Dakota people feel at home in Dakota land.
