University of Minnesota Commited Genocide Against Native Peoples, New Report Shows

For seven generations, the University of Minnesota has profited off of Indigenous land and perpetrated genocide against its original inhabitants, according to a landmark report published today by a Native-led research group.

Now, the state's 11 federally recognized tribes are asking the university for land back, representation among administrators and the student body, and a commitment to "repatriations in perpetuity."

The research was spurred by the March 2020 High Country News publication of an investigation into the land grab universities across the United States that continue profiting from Native land.
