Traditional #Wojapi Recipe – #NativeAmerican Berry Sauce Made Simple
By Corinne Griffith
June 4, 2025"Wojapi (pronounced WO-jah-pee) is a cherished Native American berry sauce rooted in #Lakota and #Dakota traditions. Made from wild berries and gently sweetened, this rich, velvety sauce was traditionally served with fry bread but today pairs beautifully with pancakes, yogurt, oatmeal, and even ice cream.Dairy & Eggs
"Whether you’re exploring Indigenous cuisine for the first time or rekindling a family favorite, this simple recipe is a perfect introduction to the beauty of ancestral cooking.
Why I Love This Recipe
"There’s a deep simplicity and warmth to Wojapi that makes it feel like a hug in sauce form. It’s naturally sweet, full of bold berry flavor, and comes together in minutes using fresh or frozen fruit. What I love most is that it’s endlessly versatile—use it as a topping, a dip, or even a glaze.
"It’s the kind of recipe you can make in one pot, with five ingredients or fewer, and still have something that feels rich with history and meaning. It has the same joyful, flexible vibe as Caramel Apple Nachos, but with deep cultural roots.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen berries
(traditional choices: #blueberries, #chokecherries, or #blackberries)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thicker consistency)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)Optional Swaps & Tips
- Sweeteners: Maple syrup adds a subtle woodsy note, but honey is more traditional in some versions.
- Berries: Mix and match what you have. #Raspberries and #strawberries work too, but for authenticity, lean toward wild berries.
Cornstarch: Skip it for a thinner, more rustic sauce. Use it if you want a pudding-like consistency.
Citrus: A touch of lemon juice balances the sweetness and brings out the berry flavors."Source:

#Minneapolis: #Dakota and #Lakota #Oyate Set Up Lodges Outside #WhippleBuilding
By #NiskíthePrayerCamp, #CensoredNews, Feb. 10, 2026
"Niskíthe Prayer Camp is honored to have been asked to share our tipis for this endeavor and we plan to work to supply our Dakota relatives in Minneapolis with supplies that they will need to continue this occupation and fulfill their demands for the return of #FortSnelling.
"Despite being visited yesterday by both state park rangers and Minneapolis police, our Dakota relatives survived their first night in the tipi encampment at Fort Snelling, a former internment (read 'concentration') camp for Indigenous people upon which the federal #ICE detention center in the Whipple Building is now situated. The Dakota want it back, and we plan to help them!
The Red Lake Nation said, 'The Dakota and Lakota Oyate have set up lodges outside the Whipple Building.' "

#Taos #ReggaeBand #IrieBellion Releases Powerful Single Advocating #ClemencyForLeonardPeltier
By Native News Online Staff
January 07, 2025"Six-piece reggae band IrieBellion, based in #TaosNewMexico, has released a new single to advocate for the release of #LeonardPeltier, a #NativeAmericanActivist who has been imprisoned for nearly 50 years.
"'Leonard Peltier’s Song' features Grammy-winning flutist #RobertMirabal of Taos Pueblo and a traditional drum group composed of singers from several Indigenous nations. Through this collaboration, the band hopes to amplify calls for President Joe Biden to grant clemency to Peltier.
"The song blends IrieBellion’s reggae-inspired rhythms with Robert Mirabal’s signature flute playing and the traditional Indigenous drumming and singing of #JohnSwiftbird (#Lakota), #ChaskePacheco (#Dakota / #SantaDomingoPueblo), and #BrysonSanchez (Dakota / #SanFelipePueblo).
"The song makes a direct #PleaForJustice, with Davis crafting a chorus —'Do the right thing, let freedom ring/ It's been so long, let's right this wrong' — that appeals to #PresidentBiden to take action and right what the band views as a longstanding wrong.
"The musical advocacy for Peltier's case has a rich history in popular music. #RobbieRobertson (Mohawk), the legendary guitarist and songwriter of The Band, created a particularly powerful statement with his song 'Sacrifice', which incorporated Peltier's own voice through a recorded prison phone call with Robertson. Little Steven (#StevenVanZandt), known for both his work with Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band and his solo career, also contributed to this musical legacy with his own 'Leonard Peltier,' which, like IrieBellion's new release, used Caribbean rhythms to carry its message of justice.
"Peltier, a member of the Turtle Mountain Band of #Chippewa Indians, became involved in the American Indian Movement (#AIM) in the 1970s, a time of tension between Indigneous communities and the U.S. government.
AIM advocated addressing issues such as police brutality, treaty violations, and systemic inequality affecting Native Americans.
"Peltier’s case comes from a 1975 shootout on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, where two FBI agents and a young Native man were killed. The shootout occurred during a period of violence on the reservation, often referred to as the '#ReignOfTerror,' when residents faced threats and attacks for their ties to AIM.
"Peltier was convicted in 1977 of killing the agents, but his trial has been widely criticized. Key evidence was withheld by the prosecution, including ballistics reports that could have supported his defense.
"Eyewitness testimony used to extradite Peltier from Canada was later recanted, with the witness stating they were coerced by the FBI. Even the U.S. attorney who handled the case has since admitted that no one knows who fired the fatal shots.
"Peltier has maintained his innocence for nearly five decades, and his case has been condemned by numerous human rights organizations, including #AmnestyInternational. Calls for his release have grown in recent years, with Peltier now in his late seventies and facing health challenges.
"'Leonard Peltier’s Song' is available on streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music, and can also be found on IrieBellion’s HearNow page. The band encourages listeners to not only enjoy the song but also take action by learning about Peltier’s case, signing petitions, and contacting officials to advocate for his release.
"For those who want to learn more, organizations such as the International #LeonardPeltierDefenseCommittee provide resources and updates on efforts to secure his freedom."
