I am a Minnesotan born and reared! My family came to Minnesota from Norway and Sweden, and the other side came from Alcese, France to Canada and then to south east Minn, Preston Minn. My family has been there since the 1860s. I love being from Minnesota, have lived in NW Iowa close to 50 years, always a Minnesotan. Get on the phone, talk to family, Minnesota accent returns, yea, sure ya betcha😊😊

The young people taught by democrat controlled curriculum should get started on filing for reparations. Our democratic controlled teachers and schools have done a great deal of damage to our young people in this state and the whole nation. Brainwashing them into the democrats own Hitler youth! They’ll back stupid treasonous lies automatically. No thought process needed anymore.

It started out good, but too much AI used! Too many images not relating to the scenes being spoken about and miss pronunciation of St. Croix gave it away. Also, if you're going to use that atrocious new "MN flag" and be PC then you need to reference that the Mississippi river flows into the Gulf of America!

First heard of the state - and other states - in that jokey pre-Beatles song about state names ..
She sipped a minne sota ... that's what she did sip
along with other puns:
what did Dela ware, boys, what did Dela ware? .... She wore a brand New Jersey ..... etc etc

1960s hard to find a school atlas (UK) that had a breakdown of the US states ... other than Texas and California and Florida.

Very interesting documentary - my Finnish acquanitance lived there for about a year.

The story of the Merritt Brothers is absolutely intriguing, and both disgusting and heartbreaking, but unfortunately not surprising with Rockefeller involved.

Sibley becoming the first Governor. Should have seen that coming. Ugh. So as long as you're the person that lies good enough with little conscience as possible, then you can become the first governor of a new state.

I cant even imagine how beautiful the view was, especially Minnehaha Falls! This is so emotional for me. We do have a beautiful state. Born and raised, and currently reside in St. Paul, MN. As much as I try to leave, that Mississippi River she pulls me back!
