Gustavus Adolphus College was founded in 1862 during the same months as the Dakota-U.S. War which resulted in the removal of Dakota people from their homeland.
Learn about the Dakota War and a two-year grant project that has brought together faculty, students, staff, Dakota leaders and other community partners for a series of listening sessions and critical conversations about the college’s presence on Dakota lands, its settler history and its relationship with Dakota people today.
