Ramsey County Court installed flags for the 11 federally recognized tribes in Minnesota during a ceremony held Monday in downtown St. Paul.
The ceremony marked a historic moment in the relationship between the state’s second largest judicial district and tribal nations.
Ramsey County District Court Chief Judge Sara Grewing offered remarks to the approximately 300 people who gathered during the afternoon ceremony at the Landmark Center.
“May these flags that are about to post remind every person who walks through the doors of our courthouses — judges, litigants, staff, attorneys, staff and community members — that justice does not look the same for everyone, and it must be shaped by those that it serves,” Grewing said.
