Historic Justice: Native Tribe Reclaims Land After 160 Years

The state of Minnesota is transferring the Upper Sioux Agency state park, which holds the burial sites of Dakota people who died due to broken treaties, back to the Dakota tribe. The park's history includes the withholding of supplies from Dakota people, leading to starvation and deaths, as well as the US-Dakota war of 1862 and the largest mass hanging in US history. The transfer is seen as an attempt to make amends for historical injustices, but it has raised concerns about the impact on tourism and the potential for similar transfers in the future. This marks the first time a state park in Minnesota will be transferred to a Native American community.
