## Caption

Bdote, which means “where two waters come together” in the Dakota language, is the confluence of the Mississippi River and Minnesota River. This is a sacred location of creation for the Dakota people.

In 1819, Fort Snelling was built as a military base on this sacred ground. Fort Snelling played a central role in the US-Dakota War of 1862, one of the darkest moments in Minnesota history. Today, Fort Snelling is one of mnhs.info’s historic sites, acknowledging they reside on Bdote and Dakota land.
