Ȟaȟa Wakpadaŋ / Bassett Creek Oral History Project Podcast

For the first episode, please enjoy this conversation where Dr. Kasey Keeler gives an overview of the project.

Looking forward, the podcast is hoping to publish three of the oral history interviews each week. So far, interviews have been released with Diane Wilson, renowned Dakota author and educator, and Benjamin Yawakie, a former Golden Valley resident and the first Indigenous member of the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board. As the episodes roll out, you can access them on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

We are so grateful to the Hennepin History Museum for committing to this podcast project. Our hope is that this format will make the interviews more accessible to listeners, both in Minnesota and around the country/world!
