Watch "The Métis and the Oxcarts of the Red River" on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/UUP0T3-rL3c
At Crow Wing State Park south of Brainerd is a sign noting the point at which oxcarts crossed the Mississippi River.
In the middle decades of the 19th century, the oxcarts carried beaver pelts, bison hides and trade goods on primitive trails between St. Paul and Winnipeg.
The trade and carts themselves were driven by the Métis [may-TEE] people, a mixture of Indigenous and European heritage. The Métis culture is still significant and thriving today.

Discover the development of the central Minnesota Shell Prairies in our new documentary: https://youtu.be/H6pwKoAZSoM
In the late 1800s, word got out about an untouched, treeless area near what is now Park Rapids. Open areas within the northern Minnesota woods were called the Shell Prairies. This documentary looks at the history of those who first settled there, the development of the Wheat Trail, and the story of a once-flourishing community that is now a ghost town.
