Minnesota State Capitol mall to honor tribal nations with a Tribal Flag Plaza

29 April 2025 on Minnesota Public Radio.

Many of my readers know of my years of extensive Native American research for Tribes and individuals. I was pleased to learn about the Tribal Flag Plaza being built on the Capitol Mall in the beautiful area of the Minnesota State Capitol building. The mall area has several such dedicated areas.

Excerpts from the story: “The state’s Capitol Mall will see some changes over the next decade. The Capitol Mall Design Framework aims to develop the mall into a welcoming space for more Minnesotans and to represent the state’s diversity better.”

“The design plan includes a Tribal Flag Plaza, located in the Lower Capitol Mall. The plaza will feature flags from each of the 11 federally recognized tribes in the state. He says the board worked with tribal liaisons from the Office of Gov. Tim Walz and Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan to coordinate meetings with tribes.”

Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan is a member of one of those 11 Tribes, the White Earth Nation.
