With 2025 drawing to a close, we are pleased to present the fourth and final issue of the year of Wiċoṡkaŋ, the magazine of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community. From stories of leadership and resilience to highlights of culture and community, it has been a privilege to share a glimpse of the people and progress that continue to move us forward as a tribal nation.

As always, thank you for taking the time to engage with this publication and stay connected to the stories that shape our tribe. We welcome you to take part, learn more, and share in all that makes the SMSC a vibrant and thriving community.

We look forward to continuing to share stories that reflect the strength, spirit, and continued growth of the SMSC in the year ahead.
