{Mankato, MN} The Dakota War of 1862 was an armed conflict between the United States and several eastern bands of Dakota collectively known as the Santee Sioux. The war ended with the largest mass ex*****on in United States history with the hanging of 38 Dakota men.

It began on August 18, 1862, when the Dakota, who were facing starvation and displacement, attacked white settlements at the Lower Sioux Agency along the Minnesota River valley in southwest Minnesota. The war lasted for five weeks and resulted in the deaths of hundreds of settlers and the displacement of thousands more. In the aftermath, the Dakota people were exiled from their homelands, forcibly sent to reservations in the Dakotas and Nebraska, and the State of Minnesota confiscated and sold all their remaining land in the state. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakota_War_of_1862

Yesterday, after months of research and work and discussion, the Maryland State Pension Board of Trustees unanimously approved a motion to create a Climate Advisory Council to advise the Board and investment staff on risks and opportunities related to climate change. This kind of work is essential for the health and growth of our pension system. I’m proud to have helped lead this effort!
