The Fond du Lac Band of Minnesota Chippewa are bringing formal discrimination charges against the state Human Rights Commissioner, (first name unknown) Wilson. The Band's claim states that the Commissioner has not only discriminated against hiring Native American's, but has also neglected to offer services for these populations.
By bringing charges, the Fond du Lac Band hope the commissioner will be motivated to provide services that are called for under the Minnesota Human Rights Act. When asked, at a recent meeting, what types of program and services he would be starting for Native American people, Wilson said his main concern was to get rid of backlog of cases.
