Minnesota is returning state land to the Dakota people for the first time ever, with the Upper Sioux Agency State Park being transferred over the next decade. The move aims to make amends for the Dakota War of 1862 and its aftermath. The land, considered sacred to the Dakota people, holds historical significance and is currently a state park. The transfer is seen as a historic and humbling moment for the Dakota community, with plans to develop a new state park to replace the one being returned.
