    Honestly? I feel like this could be both construed as a memorial OR a celebration. Perhaps an artist could create a sculpture to honor those hanged.

      It is interesting to see a memorial with no discernable editorial angle. I would be willing to bet that taking down such a memorial was based on a desire to hide history rather than any sort of sensitivity to victims.

        it was more the latter, actually. requests by and pressure from the native american community got the old marker removed in the early 70s.

        reconciliation park sits near the site today. https://mnprairieroots.com/2024/12/24/forgiveness-on-december-26/

    could have been much, much worse.

    in the aftermath of dakota war.

    lincoln commuted most of the ~ 300 death sentences resulting from of the hundreds of (mostly) sham trials that followed the five-week long war in southern minnesota.

      Good to know that passive voice to describe state violence goes back to the 1800s
