Before we list the names, may we remember the Dakota people that also faced confinement, removal, harassment, and violence before, during, and after the Dakota War. An important part of understanding U.S. History that's almost always elided in textbooks and public memory.
159 years ago today, 38 Dakota men were hung in the largest mass hanging in United States history.
38 men hung simultaneously, the day after xmas, with over 4000 settlers watching and celebrating.
These men were from my tribe. These men were my grandfathers.

Remember the #Dakota38, hanged in Mankato, MN on Dec 26, 1862, under the orders of President Abraham Lincoln. It is the largest mass execution in U.S. history.

The hanging of 38 Dakota came at the culmination of the Dakota War, which started because of a treaty broken by Congress. The Dakota people were being starved to death.

“Let then eat grass or their own dung,” Andrew Myrick, a trader & store owner who withheld their rations.
Andrew Myrick was among the first to die. He was found with grass in his mouth.

Today, on the anniversary of the hanging of the #dakota38, ordered by Abraham Lincoln, I lament the systemic white supremacy embedded into the foundations of our country that continually exonerates & acquits white land-owning men but unjustly hangs, incarcerates & lynches POC.
I published this blog post two years ago regarding this travesty of justice and the dark legacy of President Abraham Lincoln. #dakota38

The truth is, the foundations of our country were not written to protect everyone, which is why I'm running as an independent candidate for POTUS & my vision is to build a nation where, for the very first time, 'we the people' truly means #AllThePeople.
