  • Parks and Trails Legacy Project Equity Highlights
    Information Item Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission Meeting date: December 3, 2020 and January 7, 2021 Subject: Parks and Trails Legacy Fund FY2022/2023 Biennium Projects Overview and Equity Highlights District(s), Member(s): All Policy/Legal Reference: Minn. Stats. §§ 473.325 and 473.315; Regional Parks Policy Plan, Chapter 8, Finance Strategy 3 Staff Prepared/Presented: Jessica Lee, Senior Parks Planner, 651-602-1621 Division/Department: Community Development Proposed Action None; information and discussion only. Background The purpose of this information item is to present the Regional Park Implementing Agencies FY2022/2023 proposed project lists for the Parks and Trails Legacy Fund Program (PTLF) and to highlight PTLF projects designed to advance equity. The Parks and Trails Legacy Fund was established to supports parks and trails of statewide or regional significance after Minnesota voters passed the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment to the State Constiution in 2008. A portion of the PTLF is appropriated to the Council to distribute to the ten Regional Park Implementing Agencies each biennium. In preparation for this appropriation, the Council asks the Agencies to prepare a list of proposed projects to be shared with legislative policy makers during the upcoming legislative session. Equity Toolkit. The Council works with the ten Agencies to understand and document how projects advance equitable use of the Regional Parks System. Each Agency identified which of their PTLF projects help advance equitable usage. At the December MPOSC meeting, each agency will feature one of these projects. The purpose of this exercise is to help foster a system-wide discussion on how we are collectively advancing equitable use in the Regional Parks System, including exploring effective ways to build equity components into PTLF projects.

  • Pelagie Farribault's Island
    Pelagie Farribault’s Island: Property, Kinship, and the Contested Meaning of Marriage in Dakota Country, Fort Snelling, 1820-1838. Catherine Denial, Knox College The easiest facts to discover about Pelagie Farribault's life are life markers: she was born in 1783, married in 1805, and bore eight children in her lifetime. These are the commonly shared milestones by which a woman’s importance is often understood and communicated in western culture: she was fathered by someone; she married a man; she gave him heirs. Yet nothing about Pelagie’s inner life survives in these details, nor in the documentary record of the region. She was, like many women of her time, illiterate; if she spoke her life story aloud, it has long since faded into silence. Testimony to her existence is found only in documents created by men for quite different ends: trade narratives; wills; legal briefs; and military plans for imagined contingencies. It was in one of these documents that I encountered Pelagie for the first time – a name in a clause at the end of a treaty penned in 1820. On August 9 of that year, Colonel Henry Leavenworth welcomed interpreter Duncan Campbell, Indian Agent Lawrence Taliaferro, fur trader Jean Baptiste Farribault, and twenty-three local Dakota men to the place he called Camp Coldwater, the temporary home of the U.S. Fifth Infantry, just above the juncture of the Mississippi and St Peter’s rivers. The goal of the meeting was to finalize an agreement for the construction of a permanent fort in the Upper Midwest. By the day’s end the assembled Dakota had signed a contract gifting a fifteen-acre 2 reserve overlooking the rivers to the U.S Military, and within a month, construction of Fort Anthony (renamed Fort Snelling in 1825) had begun.1 The contract signed by Leavenworth, six of his officers, Taliaferro, Farribault, and the Dakota leaders was short but precise.
