Minnesota tribal officials back proposed education amendment

ST. PAUL — The push to make quality public education a civil right in Minnesota appears to have the support of state tribal leaders.

Members of the state Indian Affairs Council openly voiced their approval of the proposed constitutional amendment at their meeting in downtown St. Paul on Tuesday, Feb. 18. If ratified, they said, the amendment would signify a long-overdue step toward improving education for the state's Native American youth.
