How state universities profit from land taken from Native Americans

  • Resumen

  • In 1862, the federal government passed the Morrill Act which ultimately allocated over 10 million acres of land to states to start and develop colleges. But the federal government acquired the land from Native Americans through unfair treaties, seizures or agreements, and a recent report from the nonprofit media organization Grist investigated how a number of land-grant universities continue to profit from the land. Today on "Created Equal," we're joined by Tristan Ahtone, editor-at-large of Grist, and Steve Yanni, land grant director for Bay Mills Community College, to discuss the report and the the history and mission of tribal colleges and universities.
