As the state commemorates the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862, Dakota people celebrate their present, honor their past, and forge their future.
As the commemoration calls attention to important events in U.S. history, many people in Minnesota and globally desire to learn more about the formation and original inhabitants of the United States. It is a unique opportunity for Minnesotans to learn the history of the place they call home.
Some people refer to what occurred in both Minnesota and the nation as the genocide of America's indigenous people. It is a painful subject for many.
People have different ways of learning about the past. For many, it is through oral tradition. Others seek facts in written documents. As we navigate through controversial histories, it is important to honor all ways of knowing.
