"Our Home: Native Minnesota" Exhibit to Open December 2nd

When I think of the Native American Community, I quite often think about how they strive to maintain their heritage, their family traditions; their love for the land and wanting to maintain a lifestyle of preservation of the world we live in.

EXHIBIT COMING SOON

"Our Home: Native Minnesota" is a new exhibit that will be opening December 7th at the Minnesota History Center at 345 Kellogg Blvd., W. in St. Paul. The exhibit will be open from 10 am to 8 pm. (Admission is FREE on Tuesdays from 3-8-pm).

The exhibit will feature historic and contemporary photos, maps and artifacts to show life of the Dakota and Ojibwe people. It also attempts to reflect relationships throughout history as s well as their long held connections to the land.
