The resolution supports the repeal of the Sioux-Dakota Removal Act, highlighting the historical injustices faced by the Dakota, Anishinaabe, and Ho-Chunk Native Americans following the establishment of Minnesota in 1858. It outlines the series of events leading to conflict between the Dakota tribes and settlers, including treaty violations, starvation, and military intervention, which culminated in the largest mass execution in U.S. history. The resolution emphasizes that the subsequent acts of Congress in 1863 forcibly removed the Dakota tribes from their ancestral lands and annulled previous treaties, resulting in lasting harm to the tribes and their descendants.

The resolution calls for Congress to amend the Sioux-Dakota Removal Act to remove the banishment of the affected tribes from their ancestral homelands while preserving existing property rights. Additionally, it urges the President of the United States to issue a formal statement of reconciliation to the impacted Dakota tribes. The resolution aims to address historical grievances and promote healing by formally recognizing the injustices of the past and advocating for legislative change.
