Park suggest the area was inhabited by the Hopewell Native Americans about 2,000 years ago. From the early 17th
century to 1837, the Mdewakanton Dakota, a tribe of the Sioux, lived near the mounds after being displaced from their
ancestral grounds by Mille Lacs Lake from advancing Ojibwe. The Dakota called the area Imniza-Ska ("white cliffs") for
its exposed white sandstone cliffs on the river's eastern side. The Imniza-Ska were full of caves that were useful to
the Dakota. The explorer Jonathan Carver documented the historic Wakan tipi in the bluff below the burial mounds in
1767. In the Menominee language St. Paul was called Saenepan-Menikan, which means "ribbon, silk or satin village",
suggesting its role in trade throughout the region after the introduction of European goods. " (from Wikipedia) #43934 $250
