MnDOT apologizes for damaging Fond du Lac graves

Officials from the Minnesota Department of Transportation spared no words apologizing to the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa for desecrating a cemetery near Minnesota Highway 23 recently.

"No question, disturbing the sacred burial sites was an incredibly horrific event," MnDOT Commissioner Charles A. Zelle told a crowd of neighbors and band members Wednesday night at the Fond du Lac Community Church. "We do take responsibility. ... We're just beginning to understand the pain and the anger that comes from a disruption that we could have avoided."
