Timeline: November 9, 1862 Dakota Conflict

On this date in history, 1862, exactly 150 years ago today, General Henry Sibley and his troops and Indian hostages were facing a Minnesota prairie winter. He loaded the 303 condemned into wagons and moved downriver from the lower agency to Camp Lincoln near Mankato. While passing through New Ulm, the captives are attacked by an angry mob. A few are killed and several are injured. An additional 1700 uncondemned Indians are moved to Fort Snelling in St. Paul.

We honor all victims of the Sioux Uprising, we forgive the crimes committed by our ancestors, and we support the reconciliation long-sought by Indian and white cultures.
