+Info

minnesota in general

Until the middle of the 19th century, two major peoples occupied what is now Minnesota: the Ojibwa in the north and east and the Dakota (Sioux) in the south and west.The state of Minnesota and the Minnesota Territory that preceded it were named after the Minnesota River. The word "Minnesota" is derived from the Dakota name for that river region, Mnísota or Mní Sota. "Mní" (also spelled "miní") means water, a common theme of Minnesota place names. But the meaning of "sota" depends on how it is pronounced.When Mní Sota is pronounced with a hard "s" sound — the way the state's name is typically spoken — it means "clear".
