Land Acknowledgement Statement
The Mounds View School District, ISD 621 is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. The District resides on Dakota land ceded in the Treaties of 1837 and 1851. We acknowledge the tragic history of the Dakota people that originally occupied this area. This land acknowledgment is the first step in the education of our community about this land and our relationships with it and each other. We are committed to honoring this land and all Indigenous people of many nations. The Mounds View School District will recognize, support, and advocate for each American Indian student, all Indian Nations and peoples.
