Sioux Valley Dakota Nation has purchased the operations and lease of Grand Valley Park in Manitoba. "...the park has an important cultural and historical significance for us, not only for our nation but for Indigenous people in Manitoba and Canada across the country," said Sioux Valley Dakota Nation Chief Jennifer Bone. Sioux Valley has hosted several events at the space, including cultural camps and activities for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The hope is to upgrade some of the park's amenities and facilities to encourage others to use the space. They want to provide more accessibility for community members and some educational resources. "That's our traditional territory for Dakota people.… We're really reclaiming and revitalizing that area."
