PRESTIGIOUS UNIVERSITY FOUND GUILTY OF 'GENOCIDE' AGAINST NATIVE AMERICANS, DEMANDS MAJOR REPARATIONS

  • The University of Minnesota engaged in the systematic oppression and mistreatment of local tribes for financial gain.
  • A report recommended the university hire more Native faculty, offer Native students more financial support, and return tribal lands.
  • This report is the first time a major US university critically examined its history with Native people.
  • While the university has taken some steps to remedy its past, more substantial actions like expanding scholarships are still needed.
  • The university used its founding board to steal tribal lands and resources, effectively functioning as a shell company to launder stolen goods.
