In October of 2007, my assistant, Claire Reuning, and I sat down to talk to Bill Ziegler about the history of Little Earth of United Tribes. We were working on a neighborhood history of Phillips and we learned that the archival records for Little Earth are sparse. So we went straight to the source in Little Earth to learn about its history.

  • Saint-Paul Et Minneapolis
    SAINT-PAUL et MINNEAPOLIS 2 sœurs jumelles à la frontière de 2 mondes Au cœur du Minnesota, trait d’union entre les Grands Lacs et les Grandes Plaines, la dernière ville de l’Est, Saint-Paul, fait face à Minneapolis, la première ville de l’Ouest. C’est ainsi que l’on a tendance à présenter les Twin Cities, les deux jumelles au milieu desquelles coule le majestueux Mississippi. C’est aux chutes Saint-Antoine, révérées jadis par les Ojibwas et les Sioux, les seules barrant le Père des Eaux sur la totalité de son parcours, qu’est née la plus grande agglomération arrosée par cette frontière naturelle et symbolique qu’est le Mississippi. Avec environ 900 lacs de toutes tailles s’étalant à la confluence du Mississippi, de la rivière Minnesota et de la rivière Sainte-Croix, elles ont en commun d’immenses espaces verts, forestiers et liquides, à explorer à pied, en vélo, en canoë, en Segway, en petites foulées, en patins à glace ou en planche à voile, mais aussi une riche palette d’activités culturelles, l’agglomération comptant une petite centaine de musées. Tout semble ici conçu pour privilégier la qualité de vie au quotidien. Ayant chacune une identité et une personnalité bien différentes, bénéficiant en outre d’environs fort agréables, plusieurs jours sont nécessaires pour en apprécier toutes les facettes. 1 SOMMAIRE UN PEU D’HISTOIRE 3 MENDOTA, LE SAINT-PIERRE DES ORIGINES 3 UNE VILLE ROULEE DANS LA FARINE 3 UN PARC NATIONAL AU CŒUR DE L’AGGLOMERATION ! 4 SAINT-PAUL, UNE VILLE CAPITALE 5 MINNEAPOLIS, UNE VILLE « ARCHI » CONTEMPORAINE 7 DES MUSEES QUI SONT AUTANT D’ŒUVRES D’ART 9 BALADES EN VILLE(S) 11 VIE NOCTURNE 11 AUTOUR DE LA BIERE ET DU VIN 12 MINNEAPOLIS ET SAINT-PAUL, C’EST DE LA BALLE ! 12 FAITES LES COURSES AVANT DE RENTRER ! 13 FAIRE DE SON SEJOUR AUX TWIN CITIES UNE VERITABLE EXPERIENCE 13 LES ENVIRONS 14 DORMIR 15 Y ALLER 16 AVANT OU APRES LE VOYAGE 16 CONTACTS 16 2 Un peu d’histoire Les tertres de l’Indian Mounds Regional Park du côté de Saint-Paul témoignent d’une présence indienne remontant à plus de 2000 ans.
