We are grateful to you, and your membership pays for your admission any day the Giiwedinong is open.

What we need: On October 12, Giiwedinong, will open in the heart of the 1855 treaty territory - downtown Park Rapids, Minnesota. To put it simply, we need to raise $250,000 for this labor of love and commitment. Through thousands of volunteer hours and fortuitous donations, and a lot of dedicated work, we will bring to Akiing - Minnesota's first independent Indigenous Museum.
