Minnesota: the Great Lakes, Ojibwe, and Bob (Zimmerman) Dylan
Bob Dylan was born in Minnesota as Robert Zimmerman.
"People first came to Minnesota during the last ice age. They probably followed herds of large game into this area . . . The Dakota and Ojibwe (also called Chippewa or Anishinabe) Indians lived in Minnesota when the first Europeans arrived. Many Dakota, Ojibwe and other American Indians still live here today." http://www.exploreminnesota.com/about-minnesota/
Today, over 5 million people live in Minnesota, most of them in Minneapolis-St. Paul. Minnesota has a shoreline on Lake Superior, the world's largest freshwater lake and largest of the Great Lakes, which flow into the St Lawrence River.
Most likely, the first humans in what is now Minnesota came after the last Ice Age, hunting large animals. The first Europeans to show an interest in the area were French fur traders, in the 1700s. In the 1830s, Europeans began to live there permanently mostly as farmers, loggers and a few shop owners. In 1858, Minnesota was admitted to the US as a state. file:///C:/Users/me/Downloads/student_guide_web.pdf
