A tailored approach to assisted living that combines healthcare and Dakota Culture

ABOUT TINTA WITA TIPI

​The Prairie Island Indian Community, a federally recognized Mdewakanton Dakota Tribe, designed the Tinta Wita Tipi elder assisted living lodge in Welch, MN to care for elder residents in the community. The lodge is the first of its kind in Minnesota as it specifically caters to both the cultural and health needs of seniors by encouraging family involvement and placing an increased importance on the honor, care and respect that is traditionally shown to elders in the Dakota culture. Tinta Wita Tipi is managed by Ebenezer Management Services, the largest senior living management company in Minnesota.

"In Dakota culture we celebrate our elders and this facility allows aging community members to receive the care and respect they deserve while also addressing their healthcare needs," explained Tribal Council President Shelley Buck.
