Join the Indigenous Protector Movement on Thursday, August 20 from 5:30–7:00 PM at the Minneapolis American Indian Center for a panel discussion “Our Relationship to Pipestone: Culture, Ceremony, and Protection.”
Pipestone is more than a resource—it is a sacred place tied to ceremony, responsibility, relationship, and generations of Indigenous peoples. As another pipeline proposal looms, we are bringing community together to center Indigenous voices and speak about what Pipestone means, why it must be protected, and what our responsibilities are to the generations yet to come.
We are honored to welcome an incredible panel:
🪶 Gabrielle Strong — VP, NDN Collective
🪶 Iktomi Wašte Winyan — Brave Heart Society
🪶 Nick Tilsen — CEO, NDN Collective
🪶 Fred Desjarlait — Red Lake Nation
🌮 Indian tacos catered by Powwow Grounds will be provided for attendees.

The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission public comment period ends August 21. We encourage our relatives and allies to submit comments and make it clear: Pipestone is sacred. No pipeline.
Come eat, listen, learn, and stand with us in protection of Pipestone.
Protect the sacred. Protect Pipestone.
