Reprinted with permission from the KRHCC February 2023 newsletter Welcome to Mookomaani-ziibi, MN 55609 I am quite embarrassed to say that after living in Knife River (KR) for more than fifty years I had no idea of KR’s early Indigenous history other that the name Knife River evolved from the Ojibwe word “Mookomaaniziibi” meaning “river with sharp stones”. I also did not know that as late as 1800 there was a summer Ojibwe village on Granite Point (forms the west entry to the marina), which is just a block from where Mary and I live! The Indigenous history of Knife River might have been lost had it not been for Todd Lindahl, KRHCC ace historian and archeologist, who recorded this very important part of KR history and now shares it with readers of the KRHCC newsletter.
