- Synopsis
- The Legend of Minnesota: The definition for the word "Minnesota" is known to most as the Dakotah word for "sky-tinted waters." However, in her research about the origin of the state's name, acclaimed author and native Minnesotan, Kathy-Jo Wargin, has uncovered a little-known, but age-old Ojibwe version of how "all land west of Lake Superior" came to be known as Mahnusatia--or Minnesota--as it's called today. David Geister's breathtaking artwork perfectly illuminates Kathy-Jo Wargin's poignant telling of this magical story. In The Legend of Minnesota we learn how the enduring friendship between an Ojibwe girl and a Dakotah boy brings healing to a tribe, and how the beautiful land of Minnesota got its name.
