Ms. Geshick responded that there are multiple avenues to historical knowledge. However, an <br />acknowledgement that indigenous people are still here is important with projects <br />Commissioner Baggenstoss added that indigenous people are not only modern but are a valuable <br />piece of the world. He acknowledged that Roseville has the opportunity to do the right thing and get <br />in front of the discussion as it pertains to the name Pocahontas. <br />Commissioner Arneson suggested having a QR reader at the park to connect park-goers with <br />educational information about the native people who originally lived on the land. <br />Commissioner O’Brien noted that she has read much of the information put out by the Roseville <br />Historical Society.

In addition, he noted that he does not believe that a Commission has the <br />authority to engage other sovereign government bodies, discuss reparations or land donations. In <br />addition, he noted that historical research would be done by the Roseville Historical Society. <br /> <br />Kysylyczyn noted that he does not have any evidence of historic settlements on the specific piece of <br />land that Pocahontas Park sits on.
