Bde Maka Ska is the restorative name of Lake which has been called Lake Calhoun for the past 200 years after the Indian Removal Act. Art In Public Places created gathering spaces along the shore of Zan'ya_ Yut_-k_a, another lake, where artists stamped animals and Dakota names into sidewalk squares.
