This memorial is to honor those Dakota who created the First Mahkato Wacipi in 1972.

The Wacipi is to remember the thirty-eight Dakota executed in Mankato in 1862 and to create a spirit of reconciliation between the people of Mankato and the Dakota people.

The following Dakota people with members of the Mankato YMCA planned the first Wacipi:

Amos & Ione Owen · Wallace & Gertrude Wells, Sr. · David Larsen, Sr. · Norman & Edith Crooks · Amos & Rosemma Crooks · Hereditary Chief Ernest & Vernell Wabasha.

Co-founders: Bud Lawrence and Jim Buckley, Sr.

"I'd like to share that with the rest of the world. Maybe we can come upon something where we can all live as brothers." —Amos Owen
