The Wedge neighborhood exists on the sacred land, the traditional homeland, of the Dakhóta Oyáte, unjustly obtained in the Treaties of 1837 & 1851. The Ojibwe and other Indigenous nations have cared for this land as well. Minnesota comes from the Dakota name for the area, Mni Sota Makoce — "the land where the waters reflect the skies."

We invite you to learn more about the history of this land, and to search out the wisdom and stories of the Dakota, Ojibwe, and other Native people today:
