Land Acknowledgement
Bethel Lutheran Church stands on land that is the home of the Wahpekute band of the Dakota nation, whose people have been stewarding this land for many generations. We regret the injustices done to them: unkept promises, broken treaties, forced removal from homes, and genocide.
So, with the Holy Spirit’s help, we pledge to repair relationships with our Indigenous neighbors by learning about their history, current stories, and public policies that have impacted and continue to impact their lives. In doing so we commit ourselves to making inroads to interrupt systemic racism and helping to promote healing and justice.
