Taking exception: 'The disrespect that modern Native Americans battle'

We are the Tribal Council of the Prairie Island Indian Community, which is a sovereign nation and a federally recognized Indian tribe. Our people, the Mdewakanton Dakota Oyate, have lived in the area now known as Minnesota for centuries. Our Dakota ancestors survived here, even when our land was taken away, the leagues of non-Natives arrived, and the cities amassed around us. We have strived for centuries to make life better for the next seven generations of our Oyate.
