Gov. Mark Dayton has appointed Anne McKeig to the Minnesota Supreme Court, the first Native American appointed to the state’s highest court.
“McKeig is a member of the American Indian Bar Association, and the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, White Earth Reservation,” according to an on line biography posted by St. Catherine University, McKeig’s alma mater.
McKeig specialized in child protection and Indian welfare issues, according to the Star Tribune. Also, the Minnesota Supreme Court now has a majority of women for the first time since 1991.
