The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community has awarded nearly $2.5 million in grants to a dozen Indian tribes and Indian-related nonprofits across the United States, including five recipients in Minnesota, Wisconsin and South Dakota.
"Recognizing that there is a need in Indian Country and being fortunate enough to help out in areas that we can is just an enormous source of pride for all of our community members," said Rebecca Crooks-Stratton, secretary and treasurer for the Mdewakanton Sioux.
