Description: On April 29, the Minnesota Court of Appeals reversed the Department of Natural Resources’ January 2018 decision renaming Lake Calhoun as Bde Maka Ska. Since then, there has been considerable confusion about the ruling and the DNR’s decision to appeal. There is also great passion on both sides of the debate regarding the lake’s name. The DNR understands that people have strong perspectives on the history and meaning associated with each name. But I’d like to step back from that debate and discuss how the DNR understands its role in the naming of geographic features and its decision to appeal the recent ruling.
