The report says the University should hire more Native American faculty, offer students additional financial support and give back land to atone for mistreating the state’s tribes.
A new report concludes that the University of Minnesota should hire more Native American faculty, offer students more financial support and give back land to atone for its historic mistreatment of the state's tribes.
The report is the result of a collaborative effort between the council and the university called the TRUTH Project — short for Towards Recognition and University-Tribal Healing — which has received funding from the Mellon Foundation, Minnesota Public Radio“The TRUTH Project just rips that open and really reveals a narrative that a lot of people I think just don’t know,” Geshick said.
That included a financial bonanza — dubbed the “Minnesota windfall” — that channeled more than $500 million to the fledgling University of Minnesota from leases and sales of land taken from the Dakota tribe after the federal government hanged 38 Dakota men in Mankato, Minnesota, in December 1862, ending the U.S.-Dakota war.
The report also found that the university had failed to teach a full history of the land on which it was founded and raised questions about how some medical research was conducted.
