About this listen
Jim Rock (Dakota) taught astronomy, chemistry, and physics at Wayzata High School for almost 30 years. He also spearheaded a summer program at the University of Minnesota called Andogiikendassowin / Wasdodyawacinpi (Seek to Know), which introduced students to Indigenous ways of knowing that combine science, music, sacred sites, waterways, and experiential learning. Jim and his wife, Roxanne Gould, continue to support Indigenous-led projects like Makoce Ikikcupi (Land Recovery) from their home in Golden Valley.
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.
