tories have the power to heal. This is the fundamental belief that has shaped the work of Healing Minnesota Stories since 2011. Through Dakota Sacred Sites Tours and Twin Cities Pilgrimage, the stories of Native and African-American histories in St. Paul and the surrounding area have been creating dialogue, understanding, and healing. The healing goes two ways, from the listener to the storyteller and from the storyteller to the listener. Stories heal because they make invisible pain visible. Rev Jim Bear Jacobs and Rev Danny Givens dive deeper into storytelling, racial justice and St Paul during worship.
