Land Acknowledgement Statement
Minnesota State College Southeast acknowledges that our campuses in Red Wing and Winona occupy ancestral lands once belonging to the Dakota Nation. We recognize that the Dakota people continue to live and thrive in Minnesota, including the Prairie Island Indian Community. We honor with gratitude the land and acknowledge the history that brought us to reside on these territories. We dedicate ourselves to being good stewards of the land and its resources, to continually seek wisdom and understanding, and to pursue equity and inclusion efforts that support the sustainability of the diverse communities in which the college serves.
