The design for a tribal plaza at the
University of Minnesota's new football stadium is being unveiled today.
The Minnesota Tribal Nations Plaza will represent the 11 federally recognized tribes in the state.
Each tribe's flag, crest and information will be displayed at 18-foot-tall "sky markers" in the plaza.
The $2 million tribal plaza is made possible thanks to a $14.5 million donation to the university by the
Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux
Community.
