History in Perspective: The Treaty of Traverse des Sioux Painting. Did you know the Treaty of Traverse des Sioux painting once hung in the Minnesota State Capitol’s Governor’s Reception Room? The one that depicts the 1851 treaty signing where the Dakota ceded vast lands to the U.S. government. The artwork has faced criticism for overlooking the pressures and broken promises that followed. In 2016, it was moved to the Capitol’s third floor, where added context helps tell the full story. This shift reflects an ongoing effort to acknowledge Minnesota’s complex history.
