Minnesota had 24 Indian boarding schools – 21 of which were directly supported by state or federal resources.
Today we remember the Native children – our babies – who never returned home to their loved ones from schools here in Minnesota and across the country.

Thank you to Speaker @melissahortman and the Native Legislative Caucus for hosting the second Sovereignty Day. Both the executive and legislative branches are working to honor the inherent sovereignty of the Tribal Nations who've been governing since before Minnesota was a state.

It was powerful to have the first ever round dance in the rotunda of the Minnesota State Capitol. What pure joy to celebrate our Native legislators and our entire community. I never imagined this would be possible. It’s a brand new day.

Happy Halloween! During this festive time, it’s important to be aware of cultural appropriation. Dressing up as #NativeAmericans or other races or ethnicities is not respectful. #Native culture is not a costume. Learn more from this handout from @OKCPS: bit.ly/3gR74QB

Costumes are put on to become something you are not. When we put on our regalia or dance outfits, we are putting on these items because that’s who we are.

It’s #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth when we acknowledge and honor the deep, rich Native American history in Minnesota and celebrate our continued existence and resistance as contemporary people. This month, and every month, I’m proud to be Indigenous.
