As a former New Yorker that moved to Wisconsin, I would love to see a Wisconsin, NY connection. There have been several governors of Wisconsin that were originally from NY. The Oneidas were from NY. And there are many towns with the same name of those in NY. My grandmother was from Superior and ended up marrying my grandfather from the Bronx. 100 years later I ended in Wisconsin.

Nice documentary, but it's a bit "White Washed" like most of American history. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakota_War_of_1862 The Dakota, (or Santee Sioux), had been forced off of most of their land. Forced to attempt "farming" and after a crop failure in 1861 & harsh winter afterwards, the Bureau of Indian Affairs starved them to death, even though they had a stockpile of grain in storage at the fort. When the Indians begged for some of the grain that was SUPPOSED to be given to them, they were told to "Go eat prairie grass". It had NOTHING to do with a dozen eggs, AND the starving Indians killed 5 settlers, then went on a rampage that was the Dakota war of 1862. 38 Natives that had surrendered out of 308 were hanged in Mankato, MN. And as Paul Harvey would say it; Now you know "The Rest of the Story"!

Thanks for the feedback! The egg story is a real thing (see pg 128 in Minnesota: A history, by Lass, for example), but you're right I should have been clearer about the food issue instead of generalizing it as "mistreatment by the government."

Why are we still referring to our indigenous population as Indians? At this point it's beyond ignorant.
@placesofthepast16 күн бұрын
Your feedback is appreciated. The answer to your question is because many indigenous people use the term themselves, and some even prefer it, it depends on the person. The best option is of course to use the name of the individual group whenever practical.

Considering that our present Moronic president considers them to be "Immigrants ", and 1/2 of the voting population voted for him, you are being generous with the term "ignorant"!

This was a super fun video. I went to SNC and spent many hours in Main Hall. It’s wonderfully preserved and the octagonal areas are sitting areas, well they were in the late 90s, at least! The other buildings I have not seen! I might have to make a trip back up there to check those up once it’s not so frigid!

Wendelin Grimm, a German immigrant who moved to Minnesota in 1857, created a winter-hardy alfalfa that allowed farmers to successfully grow alfalfa, despite the cold winters. Wendelin Grimm shaped alfalfa in the US with his hardy high-quality alfalfa. In fact, alfalfa in America today all relates back to Grimm's Alfalfa

5:37 do you really think its appropriate to say the fort brought civilization to Minnesota for the first time when the Dakota had been their for hundreds if not thousands years before? seems to be a pretty whitewashed version of history painting the colonizers as good people brining civil society to the "savage natives"
@placesofthepast29 күн бұрын
Thanks for your thoughts! Historians use the term civilization to refer to a society that has reached a particular style of organization, having things like a strong government, bureaucracies, cities, advanced technology, intensive agricultural, written language, and other things. Hence the first civilization is only placed at around 3500 bc, and certainly doesn’t imply that only then were the first good people. So it’s about a specific kind of society, doesn’t apply to all cultures, and shouldn’t need to, it isn’t a benchmark for the worth of a culture.

@@placesofthepast sadly there’s always those who virtue signal about the plight of the previous residents. Of course they themselves are free to start the ‘reparation’ process and give their property back to whoever they want.
