Remembering the past, Dakota preach forgiveness, healing

MANKATO — Hundreds of people gathered in the cold and the snow at Reconciliation Park Saturday morning, trying to heal.

Some of them traveled hundreds of miles on horseback. Others had spent the night running from Ft. Snelling. Many just wanted to take part in a ceremony honoring the execution of 38 Dakota warriors more than 150 years ago.
