JUNE 15, 2000 Two eighth-grade students from Minneapolis displayed their work on the Nelson Act, a Minnesota state law that alloted Indian land to white homesteaders, at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of American History in Washington, DC. Jessica Dercks and Leslie Kopatz were part of an exhibit called "Turning Points in History: People, Ideas, Events." The Nelson Act of 1889 caused 91 percent of White Earth tribal land to be transferred out of their control. Get the Story:
