The Department of American Indian Studies and the Circle of Indigenous Nations held a panel discussion called, "American Indian Sovereignty Matters."  It was a great discussion!

There are many resources to find out more about American Indian Sovereignty and the history of the Dakota and Ojibwe in Minnesota.  Below are just a few resources from the University of Minnesota Library Collections.  I'm also including a few websites that may be of interest based on topics brought up during the panel.
Websites
Gray Wolf info from the MN DNR and an article from the Star Tribune written by Clint Caroll in response to wolf hunting, titled, Minnesota Wolf Policy Should Include Ojibwe Perspective
Books
