Although Jason Champagne didn’t grow up on a Native American reservation, he visited relatives on them growing up and saw nutrition was a major issue. Now, the 37-year-old University of Minnesota graduate student wants to change that. Like many Native American students in Minnesota, Champagne relied on tribal-funded scholarships to help pay for his college degree. The fall of 2009 marked the first year University students were awarded the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community Endowed...

With summer wrapping up and the start of the school year around the corner, we wanted to write to talk about education funding in this year's budget. After years of declining support for schools, we're proud that this year we made education a priority.

This year, we increased funding for our students and teachers by nearly $485 million to ensure that all students, from our youngest learners to our college...

There were few settlers in the west until after the Civil War. When they arrived one of the first things they did was build a schoolhouse made out of logs. Soon rural education districts were developed and the need for teachers grew dramatically. The struggle to provide those teachers grew as rapidly. The story of education in Minnesota followed along that line and Steve Grineski captures it in his new book We Were Pretty Darn Good. Teddy Roosevelt said that the farmer was the back bone of America and the need for education was absolutely...

At first glance, the small farm near Lino Lakes looks much like other charming hobby farms in the area. But it holds a distinct niche in Minnesota and likely the nation. The patch of corn near the driveway is a special white heirloom corn handed down by generations of Oneida Indians. The black beans sprouting on nearby vines were grown for centuries by Hopi Indians. There’s squash from the Lakota tribe, corn from the Dakotas, and a team of urban teenagers who are learning to harvest, cook and...
