ultimately disregard it. Finally, while it would be ideal to have a committee of Indigenous people who live and work in Roseville be the ones to serve on a committee, I expect it will be difficult to find enough people based on simply numbers of Indigenous residents. Non-residents would not have a vested interest in the name of a Roseville Park, so that is another reason we would need to pay them for their expertise. If a group is convened to discuss the park name, it would be great to follow the suggestion of Keely Vandre to consider additional park updates that could help reflect and educate the community on the Dakota people by including native plantings, educational trail, natural playground, etc. My hope is that by paying an Indigenous led group to lead the decision on the park name (and possible amenities), we will also learn new ways to collaborate and make decisions that we have not considered before. The richness of our community comes from its diversity, and we have a great opportunity to enhance that diversity. Thank you breaking old patterns of decision making and setting a course to become a truly inclusive and welcoming community.
