Lt. Gov.-elect Peggy Flanagan promises to uphold tribal rights in listening tour

Lieutenant Governor-elect Peggy Flanagan (DFL) used a listening session last week at the Upper Sioux Community Center to reaffirm her incoming administration’s commitment to representing “all Minnesotans,” including rural agricultural areas and the state’s indigenous communities.

The event brought together members of the Upper Sioux Community in addition to other area residents. The discussion was wide-ranging and covered a number of issues, but largely centered on concerns voiced by USC members over treaty rights, education, and cultural preservation.
