  • Plans for “Minnesota Tribal Nations Plaza” Unveiled

    Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota (ICC)

    tribalplaza4_small.jpgThe University of Minnesota unveiled the design of a new plaza to honor Minnesota’s Indian Nations.

    Made possible through a $12 million gift from the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC), the new plaza will be named “Minnesota Tribal Nations Plaza.” In addition to $10 million announced last October, the SMSC has pledged an additional $2 million for improvements to the plaza. The University’s Board of Regents approved the name at its meeting during mid-September.
