The Minnesota State Legislature will go back into session on Tuesday, Feb. 20, and here’s an action item to put on your calendar.
The Lower Phalen Creek Project is organizing a Day at the Capitol on Wednesday, March 14, to rally support for $3M in state bonding funds to design and build the Wakan Tipi Center. It will be an environmental and cultural interpretive center at the Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary. It is named for the Dakota spiritual site, Wakan Tipi Cave at the Sanctuary.
Bond funding in 2018 will be the decisive step towards making the Wakan Tipi Center a reality! Organizers are trying to get 250+ people to attend. The day starts at 7:30 a.m. at the Minnesota History Center with a celebration and training, followed by visits with your legislators starting at 9 a.m.. The event concludes at 1 p.m.. Organizers will provide training, so that even if this is your very first time talking to your elected officials, you will be prepared. You will also be accompanied by other supporters.
