Greetings from Sisseton

Season 25 Episode 1 | 28m 38s

Dakota Life sits down with artist Bryan Akipa to discuss his path as an artist. We drop in on a group of quilters making a difference in the world. We share the story of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate and how the past is the key to understanding the tribe today. And we visit the Bien family ranch and gain insight into why conservation is essential to their ranching operation.
