    The Native American burial mounds in Shakopee’s Memorial Park are a sacred ancestral site for the Dakota people. Built more than 2,000 years ago, these earthen mounds stand as important historical and cultural landmarks. The area was once home to a significant Mdewakanton Dakota village, led by chiefs known as Shakopee.
    Today, the City of Shakopee and the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community work together to protect and manage these historic burial grounds. The sites serve as places of reverence and remembrance for descendants and are protected under state law. Visitors are reminded to honor the solemn and enduring heritage of this land with respect.
