The University of Minnesota's founding board of regents 'committed genocide and ethnic cleansing of Indigenous peoples for financial gain, using the institution as a shell corporation through which to launder lands and resources,' a new report found.
The University of Minnesota should hire more Native American faculty, offer students additional financial support and give back land to atone for its historic mistreatment of the state's tribes, a report conducted through a collaboration with the school concluded Tuesday.
The effort draws on archival records, oral histories and other sources to examine through an Indigenous lens the troubled history between Native people and the state's flagship university. The university stopped short of saying whether it would adopt the recommendations but thanked researchers in a statement for what they called their"truth-telling."
"It's been seven generations since this initial violence took place and now today we're dreaming of what the next seven generations has to look forward to," Goodwin said. Meanwhile, it found that the university's permanent trust fund controls roughly $600 million in royalties from iron ore mining, timber sales and other revenues derived from land taken from the Ojibwe and Dakota tribes.
