March through Minneapolis protests Camp Nenookaasi eviction

By Melissa Olson via MPR, December 13, 2023

Political organizers and supporters of Minneapolis’s unsheltered population marched Tuesday evening from the site of the Wall of Forgotten Natives — a now-closed encampment — to Camp Nenookaasi, an existing camp the city plans to tear down.

The marchers were protesting the eviction planned for next Tuesday. 

Christin Crabtree, a camp organizer, said the march follows the same path a group of unhoused women walked when they were evicted from The Wall of Forgotten Natives in August. She addressed the crowd near the site of the former encampment, near the intersection of 22nd Street and Little Earth Trail along the northeast corner of East Phillips Park.

“We’re following the path that the relatives walked that day,” she said.
