Today, I'm joined by John Legg (@thejohnlegg), a PhD student at George Mason University, to talk about the U.S.-Dakota War in 1862. We'll talk about this short conflict, but more importantly the larger legacy of the war on the Dakota people. We also get into why reconciliation will be almost impossible for the Dakota and Minnesotans, and the problematic relationships between Indigenous groups in the U.S. and the Federal government. 

LISTENER'S NOTE: I'm going to apologize now-I babbled a bit at the end. So enjoy John, forgive me, and enjoy the episode!
