Question: 
08. Is the Minnesota Historical Society telling the story of the white settlers who were killed during the Dakota War?
Answer: 

 
Yes. The history and stories of settlers involved in the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862 have been and will continue to be included in the history MNHS collects, preserves and shares. Just as we worked with descendants of Dakota involved in the war in sharing their histories, we worked with descendants of white settlers to bring their stories forward as part of this narrative.
