The United States was founded with stolen Indigenous land. Public institutions are still profiting from it today.
From education to penitentiaries, public institutions were built with stolen Indigenous lands – and still survive on Indigenous resources. Using publicly available data, Grist has located millions of acres of land taken from hundreds of Indigenous nations, land that provides revenue to state universities, K-12 schools, hospitals, and other beneficiaries through fossil fuel exploration, mining, timber harvesting, and other industries. This series explores how stolen wealth continues to transform public institutions.
