ReplyDeleteTawnshi. My name is LeVi and am orginally from Minnesota. I have declared my major in Ethnic Studies, with a Business/Corporate emphasis, and am active in the American Indian Student Association and the Ethnic Studies Student Organization here on campus. I am looking forward to taking this class so that I can become more familiar with the original and present day Native nations of Minnesota. This is important to me so that I may become better educated about my homeland.
