On the last day of 2025, the Minnesota Now team looked back on some of our favorite conversations of the year. We heard from Hmong Minnesotans commemorating 50 years of Hmong immigration to the state. We talked to the childhood coaches of Minnesota-raised basketball stars Paige Bueckers and Chet Holmgren. And we sat down with Ojibwe language and culture professor Anton Treuer over a meal in our “Out to Lunch” series.
