~ Governor will first visit Shanghai, then leads 73-member Minnesota delegation on India trip ~
Saint Paul – Saying it is crucial for Minnesota businesses to expand relationships with global trading partners, Governor Tim Pawlenty today departs on a 10-day trade mission to India. The Governor will lead a delegation of 73 Minnesota business leaders, government officials and media to explore trade and investment opportunities and connect with key Indian and U.S. business organizations.
“Finding ways to sell more Minnesota products in countries with fast-growing economies and large populations is a key way to expand Minnesota’s economy,” Governor Pawlenty said. “India is experiencing strong economic growth and Minnesota business can and should participate in these expanding opportunities. Our trade mission will help Minnesotans make connections that can develop into relationships.”
Before beginning his trip in India, the Governor will first stop in Shanghai, China to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Minnesota’s sister-state agreement with Shaanxi Province. The Governor’s one-day visit will include an opening ceremony at China’s only Best Buy store and the presentation of computer equipment donated by the company to Shaanxi school.
While in India October 20-27, the 73-member delegation will travel to New Delhi, Bangalore, and Mumbai for a series of market and industry presentations, networking events, roundtable discussions and one-on-one business matchmaking events with potential Indian customers, distributors and partners.
India’s gross domestic product grew an average of 7 percent per year between 1994 and 2004 and recently has tracked at nearly 9 percent. U.S. manufactured exports to India reached $6.8 billion in 2005, an increase of 111 percent since 2000. Minnesota’s manufactured exports to India grew 208 percent to $85 million over the same period.
India is on track to become the world’s second largest economy in the next 50 years,” said Tony Lorusso, executive director of the Minnesota Trade Office, the state’s official export-promotion agency. “Indian companies have ambitious plans for expanding and diversifying manufacturing activities, particularly in the automobile, auto parts, metals, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and electronics industries, creating opportunities for Minnesota suppliers.”
Many other opportunities will come as India implements plans to improve the nation’s infrastructure over the coming decade, Lorusso said. Over the next several years, India’s transportation, energy, environmental, health care, high-tech, and defense sectors are expected to undergo major overhaul, creating greater demand for a wide variety of products and professional services.
There is also strong potential for Indian investment in Minnesota. In 2005, Indian investors owned assets worth $1.36 billion in the United States, up from $277 million in 2002.
Indian-owned companies in Minnesota include Suzlon Wind Energy Corporation in Pipestone, Patni Computer Systems, Inc., Wipro Ltd, and Natural Stone, Inc. Suzlon has been ranked as the fifth-leading wind turbine manufacturer in the world and its wind turbines are used at 12 wind park sites in southwestern Minnesota. Wipro was featured in Forbes Magazine's fabulous 50 Asian companies.
Governor Pawlenty will be accompanied by First Lady Mary Pawlenty. In addition to participating in business events on the mission, the First Lady will also devote her time to raise awareness of humanitarian and social causes in which Minnesotans are involved. Some of the programs involve providing hope to Indian orphans, training and resources for the disabled and advancing healthcare for children.

Beginning later this year, pipes will no longer be sold at Pipestone National Monument in southwestern Minnesota.
The move is the culmination of decades of contention and several years of more-formal talks about whether to continue selling pipes made from the quarries at Pipestone — spiritual objects carved from what many Native American tribes consider sacred ground.
Faith Spotted Eagle is chairperson of the Ihanktonwan Treaty Steering Committee and a member of the Yankton Sioux Tribe. She called pipestone “the blood of our people,” and said the decision to stop selling pipes at the monument is “a generational decision” that was the answer to decades of prayer.
Formal government-to-government discussions among the National Park Service and Native American tribes started in 2013. It’s a complex issue; selling the pipes carved from pipestone supports Native American craftspeople, but others argue that the sacred pipestone should not be sold.
Referring to past efforts to eliminate Native American language and culture — including government actions that took away control of the pipestone quarries — Spotted Eagle said “the paradox is that a place like that which deleted our presence there in the 1892 agreement began to sell pipes. … It was so hypocritical to us and so hard to fathom, with our grieving of the loss of that sacred place.”
She called the decision to end pipe sales on park grounds “a day of celebration that we have someone from the Park Service that can understand that we have a right to grieve what was lost and that we have been heard, that we don't want our sacred items to be sold.”

Under the new policy, pipestone carving will continue as part of the national monument’s cultural demonstration program, giving Native American craftspeople a chance to share their work and history with visitors. The store at the park, operated by the Pipestone Indian Shrine Association, will offer small pipestone crafts with background information on their significance.
The store operators will open a second location in downtown Pipestone, off park grounds and away from the quarries, where pipes carved from pipestone may continue to be sold.
“Ultimately we came to understand that the decision to carry a pipe is a deeply personal, cultural, spiritual responsibility — and that the National Park Service doesn’t have a role in that,” said Lauren Blacik, superintendent of the Pipestone National Monument.
“It’s a complex issue because there are so many different perspectives involved. It was by no means a clear-cut answer,” Blacik said.
She said one of the most important roles of park officials in the process was simply to listen. Monument staff regularly consult with 23 federally recognized tribes on a number of different topics.
“Consulting with tribal nations is a very important part of our management processes, and especially at a place like Pipestone National Monument, where we protect a site that is sacred to so many people and has been for thousands of years,” Blacik said. “It’s very important that tribes have a significant voice in those management decisions.”

The new policy was reached by consensus; not everyone was fully satisfied. Spotted Eagle said she’d like to see the sale of all pipestone objects — not just pipes — to end at the monument.
But she said the decision still represents a victory for generations of Native Americans who have had concerns about how the site is managed.

“We are thankful to all the people that have passed on that didn’t get to witness this,” she said. “But I'm sure they know it in the spirit world, so it is a celebration for them.”
