Indian Village
Along side the fur trading posts
is an  authentic recreation of a Woodland Indian village. Although
not based on archaeology, the present location of the Indian Village
is an accurate reflection of the close relationship that existed
between the European fur traders and their Native American trading
partners. Visitors can experience the life and culture of the
earliest Native American residents. Many bands of Ojibwe, Odawa,
Cree, Dakota, Fox and Sauk lived in and frequented the area for
hundreds of years. Turmoil between the Ojibwe and Dakota peoples
at this time in history was the primary reason for the unique
placement of the trading posts.
