Take Down the Fort Campaign, St. Paul, MN, 2006-present
Part of a larger movement for justice, decolonization, and liberation in Dakota homeland, the Take Down the Fort campaign aims to both literally and metaphorically dismantle Fort Snelling—a potent symbol of imperialism and oppression. The fort—now a popular living history center and state park located at the confluence (Bdote) of the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers—is the site of both Dakota genesis and genocide.
