Bismarck Documenters to present at Wisdom & Watecha lunch event

June 18, 2025

The Bismarck Documenters, powered by Buffalo’s Fire, will present at the Sacred Pipe Resource Center’s Wisdom & Watecha event on June 20 from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. Wisdom & Watecha is an Indigenous version of a lunch-and-learn series that encourages community members to share knowledge, stories and skills.

The Documenters program trains residents to attend and report on public meetings to improve local government transparency and accessibility. Lunch will be provided.

The event is at 925 Basin Avenue, suite 2, in Bismarck, North Dakota. For questions, call 701-663-3886 or email native@sacredpipe.net.

We provide the independent reporting that non-Native, extractive outlets often overlook. We give our communities the context and the facts they need to make informed decisions.
