As Minnesota honors Indigenous Peoples’ Heritage Month, Dr. Anton Treuer invites us to celebrate the beauty, strength, and enduring contributions of Indigenous nations while looking toward the opportunities that lie ahead. In this inspiring keynote, Treuer will explore the deep history and living cultures of the Indigenous peoples of Minnesota and consider what becomes possible when Tribal nations and local communities build relationships grounded in respect, learning, and shared purpose.

This keynote event is open to the public and offers an invitation to move beyond awareness toward meaningful relationship-building and collaboration. For the City of Minnetonka and communities across Minnesota, honoring Indigenous Peoples’ Heritage Month can be more than a commemoration—it can be a starting point for new partnerships, deeper understanding, and a shared vision for a thriving future.

There will be a book signing to follow. All are welcome.
