- Sacred cultural landscape
- Regional draw
- St. Paul
Wic̣aḣapi, formerly called Indian Mounds Regional Park, preserves a sacred Indigenous burial ground above the Mississippi River in Saint Paul.
The remaining mounds and surrounding cultural landscape connect with a long history of Native presence and remembrance. River views are part of the setting, while the burial ground remains central to its meaning.
Approach respectfully and follow current city interpretation and permitted routes. Do not climb or walk on burial mounds, cross protective boundaries, or disturb the ground. Check notices before arriving and give ceremonies and people reflecting at the site space; ordinary park facilities should not overshadow its sacred character.
