Lower Sioux Indian Community To Get Ancestral Land Back

February 4, 2021 by Inés Ixierda

Lower Sioux Indian Community is making plans to finalize a land acquisition with historic significance. The land to be returned to the Community includes Minnesota Historical Society parcels at the site where the U.S. Dakota War of 1862 started that eventually led to the largest single day, mass execution in U.S. history.
