Bde Maka Ska Pavilion at Night — Minneapolis, Minnesota

October 2024 — The modern pavilion at Bde Maka Ska glows softly under evening light, its signage prominently honoring the lake’s Dakota name — “Bdé Óta Othúŋwe,” meaning “Many Village Place.” This site, located in southwest Minneapolis, holds deep historical and cultural significance as part of Dakota homeland, long before it was renamed “Lake Calhoun” in the 19th century. After years of advocacy by Indigenous groups and community leaders, the lake officially reclaimed its Dakota name in 2018, marking a shift toward recognizing Minnesota’s original peoples and languages. The illuminated pavilion stands today as both a gathering space and a statement of cultural restoration, blending modern urban design with respect for ancestral land and history.

Flags Above the Foshay Tower — Minneapolis, Minnesota

Flags Above the Foshay Tower — Minneapolis, Minnesota

September 2024 — The American and Minnesota state flags ripple above the Foshay Tower in downtown Minneapolis, silhouetted against the glass and steel geometry of nearby modern office buildings.

Modeled after the Washington Monument, it symbolized both the ambition and excess of the late Jazz Age. Today, the tower stands as a protected landmark, housing a hotel and museum that preserve its Art Deco legacy. The juxtaposition of flags and architecture here reflects Minnesota’s blend of historic pride and urban evolution — a monument to both civic identity and architectural endurance.
