Introducing Mahkato Wacipi This two-disc set brings together traditional songs, dances, and stories from the native peoples of southern Minnesota in the form of a two-day Wacipi (or Pow-wow). The event, recorded here for the first time, commemorates one of the most egregious atrocities dealt to the Dakotah, Lakotah and Winnebago peoples by the United States: the U.S. Dakotah Conflict of 1862 and the subsequent hanging of 38 people. This field recording is an educational document of state and national importance. It features respected tribal elders recounting the history, and performances by some of the best drum circles in the Mankato (traditionally 'Mahkato') region. http://www.turtletrack.org/MahkatoWacipi/CDPromo.htm
