More coverage of Native Sovereignity Day at the Minnesota State Capitol.

Worth noting is that only the 11 federally recognized tribes were represented. I saw no mention of the Mendota Mdewakanton Sioux who reside a mile or two from where I live. They have been seeking federal recognition for many years.

This has been #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth and I wish I had done a little more to focus on it. The close-ish #Mdewákhaŋthuŋwaŋ #DakotaOyate (#Mdewakanton #Sioux) had some extremely enticing planned events at #HoċokataTi in Shakpi of #MniSótaMokoce (Shakopee, #Minnesota), which conflicted with our schedule. But I am currently planning a trip there soon. 🙂

I hope some of #MNastodon visit there too. 🙂
