About this listen
Sydney Beane (Dakota) moved to Minnesota and purchased a home in Plymouth in 2003. In the 1970s, he was trained as a community organizer through a Robert F. Kennedy Fellowship. He has since served in many roles, including as co-founder of the Native American Community Development Institute (NACDI), Chair of the Board for Little Earth, and an advocate for recognizing Indigenous place names. Sydney is a lifelong educator as well as a filmmaker, historian, and documentarian. In 2023, he was honored with The Frank Blythe Award in Media Excellence for his work.
In Mni Sóta Makoce (Minnesota), Indigenous people have lived, worked, and played near Ȟaȟa Wakpadaŋ (Bassett Creek) for thousands of years. Through an oral history project, 15 Indigenous people share how they experience the watershed as part of their historic and contemporary cultures. These interviews were conducted by Dr. Kasey Keeler with support from Valley Community Presbyterian Church (VCPC) and partners.
