On Sunday morning October 11 we will honor Indigenous Peoples’ Day by asking and seeking to answer this question: What would it mean for white Minnesotans to move beyond Land Acknowledgement to Land Reparations? Our speaker will be John Stoesz, who is now spending two weeks a month in Mankato and is participating in UUMF while in the city. John spent 30+ years working in leadership roles for faith-based justice and peace organizations. In 2012 his family sold his grandparents’ farm in southwestern Minnesota. Since this is Dakota homeland, he donated half the sale amount from his portion to Native organizations working for land justice — most to Makoce Ikikcupi. Now retired, John focuses much of his time on awareness raising, organizing and fundraising among white Minnesotans for Dakota land return.
