- Towards Recognition and University-Tribal Healing (TRUTH)"A 2020 High Country News report catalogued more than 99 percent of all Morrill Act acres, identifying their original tribal inhabitants and the principal raised for university endowments through the sale of those lands. Their study revealed that in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the United States awarded 10.7 million acres - acquired from 245 tribal communities through 162 violence-backed land cessions - to 52 land-grant colleges, which in turn raised over $17 million for their endowments. In exchange, the U.S. paid tribal nations less than $400,000." - Description from the TRUTH Story Map
- Morrill Act (1862)"Passed on July 2, 1862, this act made it possible for states to establish public colleges funded by the development or sale of associated federal land grants. Over 10 million acres provided by these grants were expropriated from tribal lands of Native communities...." - Description from National Archives
