Learn about the connection between place names in Minnesota to their Indigenous language during the third and final program of this year’s “Exploring History and Culture in Central Minnesota” event series. The program will be presented on Saturday, February 15^th, at the Benton County Historical Society in Sauk Rapids by Justus Probst, Dakota, from the Lower Sioux Indian Community and Social Studies Education major at St. Cloud State University.
