Zak, I learned that Lake Agassizi drained south to Mankato and then north to Bdote at the Mississippi. It also drained north to Hudson Bay.

I was going through some old photos/videos and thought I’d share a few snippets of soothing things I found.
This is the Mississippi River a few years ago in August, near Bdote, where it joins with the Minnesota River.

“Fort Snelling” by Nicholas Brewer (1890). This looks like the Hexagonal Tower of the stone fort that was built around 1820. Above the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers, the fort is in the ancient Dakota cultural landscape of Bdote and is now in the center of the Twin Cities.

Going to Minnetonka …you’ve got some serious O-VA-RIES. Good scores. I like the savers in Inver Grove Heights. It is very very white also, but for some reason I don’t feel like I’m on another planet. And I really like the drive, crossing the bridge over Bdote.

That'll probably be the line we wind up drawing.. can't create any distinction that allows for fascism, and even then we need to monitor public schools (and boards) actively.
Luckily that wouldn't stop Bdote Learning Center.. charter, but still public.

the folks getting upset about moving the dog park somewhere else would understand that it's not ok to put a dog park inside Stonehenge.
It's the SAME idea!
In Dakota Tradition, Bdote is a holy site.
Then you add on the Concentration Camp where so many died in 1862-3?
"Move the Dog Park" is easy.

It's like the folks YEARS ago, upset after Black Mpls residents pointed out that MLK Park was *NOT* a good place to recommend putting in a dog park.
Except this is WORSE, because the dog park *got* built!
