Unfortunately this is a very white-washed version of MN history, the war of 1862 was absolutely started by the settlers breaking their treaty with the Dakota and trying to starve them out. MN history is built on the bodies of the Native Americans (not the "Indians" as the narrator erroneously states)
To be fair, Mankato is from the Dakota language, so man-kah-toe would probably be closer to how it would have originally been pronounced since almost every other anglicized Dakota name has the same schwa-like ah meets uh sound, like in Dakota, Oglala, Hunkpapa, etc.
Really enjoyed this. I kept thinking oh I hope he mentions Stillwater, the lumberjack industry, more on mining, the sciences, early computer development etc etc, and then I realized that would make it like 10 hours long. You did a really good job. I learned quite a bit. Thank you for making this.
If you care to and are unaware of it, I recommend everyone research the history of Lake George in Anoka county if you wish to know the history of a peace negotiation between the Lakota and Ojibwe hosted by the US government in which afterward the Lakota stole an Ojibwe girl and they followed the Lakota from what is now the Anoka area to the south shore of Lake George where a large battle took place over days and at least hundreds of Indians died. Apparently what is now the city of Anoka was a no-mans land so to speak between the Lakota and Ojibwe at that time. Thanks for the video.
Crazy I lived in the neighbor hood on the south side of the lake for a few years and grew up in the area. I even graduated from Anoka High school and never new this until now
Being a full blown Minnesotan, Irish, French, German and Swedish, with French Canadian roots from Canada and a separate family line related to a mixed race fur trader killed by Dakota.

I’m from Hibbing, where there actually is a three way watershed. North flows to Hudson Bay, East to Lake Superior and the Atlantic, west and south to the Mississippi
Yeah, the separate continental divides in MN do crazy things to watersheds and flow. The glacial runoff alone carved out the rolling hills and bluffs of SouthEastern MN.
@@lordcommander3224fun fact, the 3 way watershed is why Northern MN doesn’t have the US’s Nuclear Waste! It got rather far in Congress until someone pointed that out! It made sense otherwise, it’s sparsely populated, geologically stable, and there are already deep pits dug out!
Love this video! I recognized all of the places and history and loved how you tied it together in less than 30 minutes. I’ve passed on the link to our adult children.
Born and raised in MN. Really excited to see the james J. Hill house. Ive gone on 2 or 3 tours and its stunning. The basement with the white walls is kindo creepy though. Also, these are the most stunning scenes ive ever seen of my beautiful state! Thank you for this documentary!
A story I heard about New Ulm. The Schell’s brewery owner was always very kind to the Native Americans. So during the trouble the natives did not destroy the brewery. 🤷♀️ 🙂
@@placesofthepastI’ve personally heard a tornado was the reason they built the Mayo Clinic actually it was the St. Mary’s hospital, 1883 Rochester tornado estimated F5 was a devastating tornado that destroyed almost all of the city which indirectly created St. Mary’s Hospital now apart of the Mayo Clinic
Excellent video, and I need to get my drone a lot closer to some of these places myself. But BIG OOF on "the settlers first brought civilization to Minnesota". I physically winced, and decided to give you a second chance on the rest of the video.
@@ironyjudge thank you, the drone is great fun! I’m interested to hear what society attained civilization in MN before that point, if I missed something, as civilization isn’t a synonym for nation or culture, but is used by historians to mean a society that has reached an advanced level of organization that it has cities, writing, strong government, specialised labor, public works, organized religion, and maybe some others. In Mesopotamia, for example, Sumer is considered the first civilization on earth, if memory serves around 3500 bc even though cities had even been in the region for thousands of years before that point. So it’s not a term to mean “better” if that’s the concern but to indicate a specific kind of development. Thanks for engaging on this point.
@@placesofthepast you are saying that your indigenous people who had been there for thousands of years weren't a civilization. You meant western civilization. It's pretty offensive actually because of the implication they weren't civilized. They had those, just not in the white person way.
@@ironyjudge I think it’s important to remember that in the field of history the terms “civilized” and “uncivilized” has nothing to do with insulting anyone, but analyzing the type of a society’s development. My ancient Germanic ancestors weren’t a civilization, as they didn’t have literature, cities, etc, nothing offensive about it. There is also a spectrum of how organized a society can be, so there is some room for disagreement on the application of the term. Cahokia, for example, to my knowledge falls between the civilization of the Aztecs and the Native American cultures farther north, in terms of organization and marks of civilization. In a casual sense, people have used “uncivilized” to mean barbaric or crude, like Obi-won talking about blasters vs lightsabers, but really they’re using the term colloquially and inaccurately. Any serious history book I’ve ever read uses this terminology in the technical way. Thanks for the discussion, it’s an important one.
@@evanganske9240 I'm not the victim here, it's the indigenous people who he said wasn't a civilization. They are. And I guess by your standards nobody can ever provide criticism on videos. Don't like my comment? Keep scrolling, I guess. This is kind of a big deal in Minnesota.
We were stationed in Minneapolis and lived in White Bear Lake on Centennial road by North Oaks. My mom was best friends with a general Hoeflin. I heard the farmhouse we lived in on 20 acres was torn down for a mall.😊
I think the Mendota Bridge is the longest in the state. and many towns were named by the Indians. A group of Ojibiwai was in the early years was in the area which is now known as St. Cloud only a half a mile from where I live. I enjoy your video. Thank you
Fort Snelling was also the site of the largest mass execution in US history. Many tribes paid a heavy price for settlers to stay here. It’s valuable to remember and reflect on that too.
I strongly agree about Eurocentric history. He along with many others have failed to mention the Hocak/Ho-Chunk people inhabited Minnesota before the colonizing settlers came and removed us many times over, I mean us as Native American/Indigenous people. ❤
Best to go visit the reservations and speak directly to elders, it is not as hard as some may think, just need to find the ones who enjoy helping in this kind of manner.
Great history of Minnesota. Being a true Minnesotan I frequently hear people mispronounce some of our towns. Mankato is pronounced (Man-kay-toe). Great hockey town.
This is a great little documentary, but what do you have against Minneapolis? You show the falls in the Hennepin Avenue Bridge but even towards the end when you start panning up from the falls, the shot is cut before you ever show Minneapolis’ skyline. What’s with the almost total exclusion of one of MN’s biggest attractions?
Fair point! We at least catch the riverfront and in the background of the Basilica, but it was a combo of a. the video focusing on 19th century landmarks rather than more modern skyscrapers, b. the drone shots I did take directly of the skyline I realized were ruined by poor lighting, and c. when I went to get City Hall with handheld camera, the police freaked out :D

Yeah, civilization is a loaded word... I would consider the Dakota civilized. Some definitions are centered around a capitalist point of view, so I wouldn't necessarily say "Civilized" should have a positive/negative association.
Great video! Quick note about Mayo Clinic. It wasn’t the battle of New Ulm that gave rise, but the Tornado that ripped through Rochester in August of 1883. Sisters of St Francis came to an agreement with Dr. Mayo that they would build it if the Doctor and his sons would be the surgeons. Wish you would’ve shown a bit more of the beautiful history around it such as Assisi Heights (the nunnery) or the Mayowood Mansion.
At 20:10, you show the "make shift hospital" that Dr. Mayo organized in New Ulm. The building that you show is actually the DR. W W Mayo home in Le Sueur not New Ulm! It's on the Register of National Historic Places. I think that you should have been more careful about pointing this out.
Thanks for the clarification, I wasn’t intending to pass the house off as his setup in New Ulm, as I of course went to Le Sueur to get the footage, and it’s identified in text the lower left corner, but you’re right, the city name should be there for clarity.
It is important to understand that The Ceded Territories are contingent on the completion of the honoring of The Treaties in Minnesota . Until The Treaties are honored in full the actual land is being held "In Trust" by The US Government . The US Supreme Court has ruled that ALL Treaties are valid and no Amendments are valid until the original Treaty has been honored completely , and the Amendment is agreed upon by both Nations . Here is a fact most people don't know , Dr. W. Mayo (Mayo Clinic) learned about the Human Body by digging up recently deceased Native American's bodies and cutting them up to study them.
Great video. Very well made. It was professional yet authentic and not artificial. We knew next to nothing about Minnesota before watching this. Now we want to cheer on this humbly awesome state. Go Minnesota!😃

3rd generation Minnesotan here to tell you Mankato is pronounced Man-kay-toe. Thanks carry on
Great video! Quick note about Mayo Clinic. It wasn’t the battle of New Ulm that gave rise, but the Tornado that ripped through Rochester in August of 1883. Sisters of St Francis came to an agreement with Dr. Mayo that they would build it if the Doctor and his sons would be the surgeons. Wish you would’ve shown a bit more of the beautiful history around it such as Assisi Heights (the nunnery) or the Mayowood Mansion.
Thanks for the info, and yes, those places would have made great additions!
well done.
This is an awesome video. Could be some MN bias, but wow!
Very good, you should look up "Craigville, Minnesota".
You did fantastic on this history! I was born and raised here in MN and I learned a lot more details from you. Thank you! ❤
There's a ship planted in our harbor called Leif Ericcson
Great video as always, I have a feeling your channel is going to blow up!
I like the Saint Croix Separatists map. As a native Minnesotan, I think it would be fantastic to impose it now. >:D
You mean European American
At 20:10, you show the "make shift hospital" that Dr. Mayo organized in New Ulm. The building that you show is actually the DR. W W Mayo home in Le Sueur not New Ulm! It's on the Register of National Historic Places. I think that you should have been more careful about pointing this out.
Thanks for the clarification, I wasn’t intending to pass the house off as his setup in New Ulm, as I of course went to Le Sueur to get the footage, and it’s identified in text the lower left corner, but you’re right, the city name should be there for clarity.
Le Sueur is also the most beautiful area to drive thru during the fall as the leaves turn. Absolutely stunning.
Well, it's a nice video of some of the state....missed a lot of it though.
nice
Trail of Tears 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
It is important to understand that The Ceded Territories are contingent on the completion of the honoring of The Treaties in Minnesota . Until The Treaties are honored in full the actual land is being held "In Trust" by The US Government . The US Supreme Court has ruled that ALL Treaties are valid and no Amendments are valid until the original Treaty has been honored completely , and the Amendment is agreed upon by both Nations . Here is a fact most people don't know , Dr. W. Mayo (Mayo Clinic) learned about the Human Body by digging up recently deceased Native American's bodies and cutting them up to study them.
I helped make that beautiful MAYO Kellen building (the one that looks like Swiss cheese)😁proud of building the forums for that research to be done
Minnesota moment.
So 'Minnesota nice' started with the natives... Awesome that it's been a thing that long
Thank you for calling us what we are Natives and not “Indians”
@@coppersmurf1496 She did not steal their land. She's obviously not old enough to have done that.
Beautiful film footage of a beautiful state. However, I am disappointed you did not touch on the lumbering industry.
23:31 Where is that rushing waterfall?
Looks very similar to the PNW.
I don't exactly remember! Somewhere along the North Shore by the road.
@@placesofthepast
Thank you
Which one, the large one? St. Anthony falls? If so, it's in Minneapolis
@@judye6700
No the one at the 23:31 mark.
Looks like Gooseberry or Tettegouche
Not a single image of winter, incomplete video of Minnesota.
Pfft...lol. True
Great video. Very well made. It was professional yet authentic and not artificial. We knew next to nothing about Minnesota before watching this. Now we want to cheer on this humbly awesome state. Go Minnesota!😃
It’s Mankato long a’s not short
Ok, thanks for the correction!
Man-Kay-Toe
@@pinkboots-ne6hv this is the white pronunciation of the word
@@TradishMan2012ok, what is the native pronunciation?
@placeoftheoast
Well…it was meant to be called Mah-Kato, anyway, which translates to Blue Earth (Mankato is in Blue Earth County.)
Man-Kato translates to Blue Skunk, haha.
Ergo, you’re doing just fine, brother.
🙏🏽✌🏽💙 from Walz-ville, Minnesota, USA
Intriguing
I live in New Ulm! I saw one of the pictures, and immediately recognized the Glockenspiel
Sad you didn’t include more on the north shore
The companion video on Wisconsin was only half as long as this.
@@John-pc3cx There are 3 parts to that one, so combined it’s a longer series, if you’re interested in WI
@@placesofthepast I saw that after I commented, my bad. Great video by the way.

This is an immigrants history of Minnesota
Immigrants like the Ojibwe?
@@lordcommander3224 immigrants like the ones who committed omnicide on the land. The ones who hated their own people so much that they left their home. The ones who lived so dirty that they had diseases.
@@coppersmurf1496 that’s the definition of Minnesota Nice
At 13:10 its pronounced Mankatoe. 🙂
Minnesota’s history started long before this
Yes, but historians tend to focus on events that there is written record of.
@@placesofthepast history is written by the nation who made sure their story is told and not the truth
@@placesofthepast why don’t historians value oral history? Racism?
