Stolen land and fraud define Minnesota's history.
Henry Sibley, Alexis Bailly, and Hercules Dousman were among those seeking profits in the 1830s and '40s. Lawrence Taliaferro made the case against the former fur traders. Both parties worked to sweet talk and bribe both indigenous leaders and Washington politicians alike. Hunger and desperation drove leaders like Wakinyatanka (Little Crow) to the bargaining table. In addition to treaties, this episode will discuss early white settlement, the dehumanization of Native women, and the unrealized vision of an American Indian State.
Sam Temple and Logan Ledman discuss and explain Chapter Six of North Country, by Mary Lethert Wingerd.
