THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2002 "A photograph in last week's Pioneer Press showed a smiling Gov. Jesse Ventura stepping into a dance arena with Audrey Bennett, Prairie Island Indian Community president. The ceremony, attended by representatives of the state's 11 reservations, celebrated Ventura's signing of an executive order reaffirming the government-to-government relationship between the state and American Indian nations. The order also required state agencies to understand and respect the unique status of American Indians, and to further their goals of self-determination and self-government. That could affect the way federal dollars are allocated. I doubt if there's a governor in the country who made so dramatic a turnaround on such complex issues during a single term of office. . ."
