Minnesota must better tap the gifts of American Indians and people of color

While we respect the decades and insights that Star Tribune columnist Lori Sturdivant has contributed to Minnesota, we were disappointed by the way that she ignored values of those who lived here before the immigrants she praised in her Dec 23 column (“A glance back, and glimpse of state’s future”).

Her omission is sadly similar to a recent, unfortunate Minnesota House DFL decision and a recent Star Tribune news article.
