The Winona-Dakota Gathering will include opportunities for cross-cultural sharing, community meal, activities for children, drum and dance, vendors, community resource tables and local organization information booths.
A Remember Our Loved Ones (ROLO) memorial program will be held on Sunday, October 6, 2024 in partnership with the Indigenous Peoples Task Force. The ROLO memorial is a project to honor and remember all people who have been lost to opioids or alcohol, people of every race, culture, or class are affected by this epidemic. The event is an opportunity for social connection for all people who are grieving loss of loved ones and community supporters aiming to improve community wellbeing and resilience. The ROLO program will include memorial posters of loved ones, resource tables, speakers including parent advocates and community leaders, community meal, music, and more. Community resource information for harm reduction will be available to the public. Additionally, the program will invite local youth to participate in prevention educational programs sharing their own messaging to reduce substance use in the community and reduce the associated stigma.
The mission of the Winona-Dakota Unity Alliance (WDUA) is to create sustainable alliances among Indigenous Nations and the Winona community with a mutual understanding that we are all related. Their vision is to sustain a regionally valued organization and unique annual event, the Winona-Dakota Gathering, and to continue reconciliation among all our relatives which is publicly recognized and practiced through ongoing friendships, community partnerships, and mutually meaningful activities.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund.
