A treaty between the United States government and the Ojibwe (or Anishinaabeg) signed in Washington, DC, nearly 170 years ago will be the main focus of a new museum set to open this summer in Park Rapids.But far from being a history museum, the organizers behind Giiwedinong: The Museum and Cultural Center of the North say it will teach Minnesotans, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, about the rights guaranteed to tribal members today, starting with those established in the 1855 Treaty which applies to land that includes Park Rapids.
