Indian Affairs Council, the<br \/>Minnesota Humanities Center, and the Smithsonian\u2019s National Museum of the American Indian in<br \/>Washington, D.C., was approved unanimously by the tribes residing in Minnesota and made it possible<br \/>for Why Treaties Matter: Self Government in the Dakota and Ojibwe Nations to be developed as an<br \/>educational tool for Minnesota audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition includes 20 free standing banners with evocative text, historical and contemporary<br \/>photographs and maps, a touchscreen video experience featuring the stories of Dakota and Ojibwe<br \/>people, and an enhanced website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.treatiesmatter.org\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.treatiesmatter.org\">www.treatiesmatter.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This exhibit reveals how Dakota and Ojibwe treaties with the U.S. government affected the lands and<br \/>lifeways of the Indigenous peoples of the place we now call Minnesota, and explains why these binding agreements between nations still matter today. It is meant to share important cultural information with all Minnesotans, that they may better understand the true circumstances surrounding&nbsp;Minnesota land, its use, and the vibrant cultural and political traditions its original inhabitants have sustained in the face of challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\tclass=\"site-section site-panel__image_overlay panel panel-image_overlay site-section__bg--default\"\n\t\t\tdata-depth=\"\"\n\t\t\tdata-js-panel=\"image-overlay\"\n\t\t>\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"site-section__inner site-section__inner--no-padding\">\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t<div role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Screenshot 2024-07-24 at 3.37.38 PM\" style=\"background-image:url('https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wp.stolaf.edu\/lutherancenter\/files\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-24-at-3.37.38-PM.jpg?resize=1600%2C1039&#038;ssl=1');\" loading=\"lazy\"  class=\"site-section__bg-img site-section__bg-img--m-stack\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t@media all and ( min-width: 960px ) {\n\t\t\t#site-panel__image-overlay-69eb09584b079 {\n\t\t\t\theight: 500px;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t<\/style>\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\n    \n\t<div id=\"site-panel__image-overlay-69eb09584b079\" class=\"site-panel__img-overlay-wrap site-panel__img-overlay--no-ribbon horz-center vert-top\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"site-panel__img-overlay-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"t-content t-content--light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"site-section__desc\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-depth=\"0\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-name=\"content\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-autop\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-livetext\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>St. Olaf College adopted a land acknowledgment statement in the spring 2020.
