10-minute history lesson: Spirit Lake Massacre

Learn a little bit about the Spirit Lake Massacre and its players, including Inkpaduta and Abbie Gardner.
Challenge: Measure out 17x23 feet at home or in the yard today, because that is the size of the Abbie Gardner cabin in Arnolds Park. At one point, more than 10 people lived there. At least while we're quarantined, be thankful you have more room than that!
We understand this video is not the whole story -- that's way too complex for such a short, simple video -- but we do encourage you to look deeper by reading our blog series about the Spirit Lake Massacre at www.dickinsoncountyconservationboard.com.
