Hi John, Today is Indigenous Peoples’ Day — a chance for us to honor and celebrate the 11 sovereign Tribal Nations and robust urban Native communities that call the land of Minnesota home. I was proud to officially make Indigenous Peoples’ Day a state holiday here in Minnesota in 2023. It’s a reminder of the many contributions Indigenous communities make to our shared history, culture, and economy. Indigenous People are our neighbors, friends, and loved ones. But we still have work to do to keep Minnesota moving forward. There’s more we can do to strengthen our connection with Tribal communities and make sure our economy works for everyone, no matter where you live. Let’s continue building a Minnesota that honors everyone who makes up our great state. Thank you, Tim Walz
