“One morning, you wake up and drive to the building and see it’s in flames, with a bunch of SWATteam members standing in front with billy clubs,” recalls Sam Olbekson, the architect who designed MIGIZI’s previous headquarters (and who joined MIGIZI as a participant in the third grade). “You realize an important space in the community was just lost.” He approached MIGIZI’s executive director, Kelly Drummer: “The first thing we talked about was, alright, let’s start thinking about how we’re going to rebuild.” Drummer watched over the building the first three days of the uprising, including the night and morning it burnt down. “For the Native community, it was tragic,” she says of the loss. But she also witnessed the outpouring of support in the aftermath.
