About us
SIA is a network of American Indian organizations in St. Paul, MN dedicated to advocating for our community.
“ We operate on the unceded land of the Dakota Nation in Saint Paul, traditionally known as Imnížaska (White Bluffs) - a part of the Bdote region. Along the banks of the Wakpa Taŋka (Mississippi River), Saint Paul is home to sacred sites like Wakaŋ Tipi and numerous ancient burial mounds (Maka Paha). Today, Saint Paul is home to Native people from across Turtle Island.”
