The artist Angela Two Stars (Dakota, Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate) is the first Indigenous artist commissioned by the Walker Art Center to create a work for the museum’s Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. The installation
Okciyapi (Help Each Other) will take the form of a custom-cast concrete labyrinth that contains words and phrases in the Dakota language.
”Our identity is grounded in our language,” Two Stars says in a statement. “Our ceremonies, songs, and stories are rooted in language. Without our language, we would lose an integral part of who we are as Dakota people.”
