This meeting will take place via video conferencing and telephone access, access details above.

1. Call to Order 7:00
2. Land Acknowledgement
   • “We are standing on the ancestral lands of the Dakota People. We want to acknowledge the Ojibwe, the Ho Chunk, and the other nations of people who also called this place home. We pay respects to their elders past and present. Please take a moment to consider the treaties made by the tribal nations that entitle non-Native people to live and work on traditional Native lands. Consider the many legacies of violence, displacement, migration, and settlement that bring us together here today. And please join us in uncovering such truths at any and all public events.” – Excerpt from the acknowledgement given in the USDAC Honor Native Land Guide – edited to reflect MN tribes.
