As Dakota Sioux, we believe we arrived on this planet from a faraway galaxy beyond the Milky Way and Orion. We often call ourselves Star People, which is why we named our firm “Wičaŋpi.” The literal translation of “Wičaŋpi (wee chә pee)” from the Dakota language to English is “Star People.” Inspired by the resilience of the Minnesota Mdewakaŋtoŋ Dakota Sioux, who overcame the bounties placed on them by the state of Minnesota from 1863 to 1886, we established Wičaŋpi Research & Consulting. Initially, we collaborated with law firms to provide robust anthropological research services and substantive evidence in cases brought by the lineal descendants of these survivors; we helped law firms navigate the constraints of litigating American Indian issues in federal courts.
Anthropology offers valuable insights across various disciplines, including education, law, industry, healthcare, and social services. Our team at Wičaŋpi delivers expert consulting solutions while investigating systems of meaning, traditions, and culture. By partnering with us, our clients receive strong support and can deepen their understanding of American Indian culture and heritage, especially through collaboration with tribal agencies and organizations.
Our team of experienced consultants provides a range of services, including strategic planning, financial and data management, genealogical, archival, and ethnographic research, writing, editing, workshops, and training.

Wičaŋpi Research & Consulting provides expert consulting grounded in anthropological methods and backed by years of collaborative research. This approach values the perspectives of all involved parties and fosters effective collaboration among culturally diverse groups.
