Minneapolis studies Nat Am history

Minneapolis is conducting its first in-depth study of Native American heritage sites after it received two grants from the National Park Service.

The nearly $35,000 in funding will allow Minneapolis to designate and survey sites associated with commonly underrepresented groups, like the city’s Native American, African American and Jewish communities.

Katherine Haun Schuring, advocacy chair at Preserve Minneapolis, said the studies are well overdue and would help residents better understand the culture and history of Minneapolis.
