Robert Thorstensen of Red Wing and Marion Duggan of St. Paul first met and fell in love as students at the University of Minnesota in 1940, and the rest, as they say, is history. The Thorstensen family papers-the bulk of which are the couple's letters back and forth during World War II-were officially added to the Minnesota Historical Society collections this week, where they will be preserved for future generations. The Thorstensens' children donated four boxes of family documents to MNHS,...
Far too many students, especially in underserved groups and communities, lack robust access to the core elements of a quality education. That includes free, quality preschool; high, challenging standards and engaging teaching and leadership in a safe, supportive, and well-resourced school; and an affordable, high-quality college degree. United States Department of Education Students from the bottom socioeconomic quartile are eight times less likely to earn a bachelor’s degree than students from the top socioeconomic quartile (7.4 percent vs. 6...
The state of North Dakota and American Indian tribes have agreed to settle two lawsuits over the state’s voter identification requirements. The crux of both lawsuits is North Dakota's requirement since 2004 that voters have identification with a provable residential street address. That can be hard to come by on reservations, where many streets have no signs, many family members live together, and some tribal members have no permanent address or are homeless. Many tribal members rely on post office boxes as their permanent address, and many d...
Gov. Kristi Noem is asking the nine Native American tribes in South Dakota to enter into law enforcement agreements with the state to better tackle crime and meth on reservations. The Republican governor on Thursday commended tribes for addressing problems with meth addiction and said the state wants to help tribes that don't have sufficient tribal police officers to counteract crime and drug addiction. But tribal leaders said the governor would have to overcome a history of trauma and strains in their relationship over the governor's revival...
On February 11, the Trump Administration released its proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2021. Like prior years, the President's budget again calls for large cuts to many federal programs that support tribal housing. The proposal would reduce the Indian Housing Block Grant to only $600 million, which is the same level of funding tribes received in 1998 when Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 was first enacted. Other programs, such as the Indian Community...
Minneapolis is considered the city where the American Indian Movement began in the late 1960s, as Caroline Preston of the Hechinger Report recounts. The University of Minnesota–Twin Cities also has the oldest Department of American Indian Studies, founded in 1969. But these facts did not prevent the university from having a dismal 27 percent six-year graduation rate for American Indian and Alaskan Native students nearly 40 years later in 2008. But now, those numbers have turned around. In 2...
The Bureau of Indian Education cut almost $40 million for the Higher Education Grant Program in next year’s budget proposal. According to the Department of Diné Education, $13.4 million of that went to 3,565 Navajo students in 2019. Tribal officials say the scholarships are vital and many students wouldn’t be able to attend college without them. "These funds, the federal dollars that we receive, it’s for need-based students, which is the majority of our students … Even though we give $2,500 dollars per semester it makes a huge differen...
