Indian Village
Alongside the fur trading posts is an authentic re-creation of a Woodland Indian village. Although
not based on archaeology, the Forts Folle Avoine Indian Village
is an accurate depiction of the documented close relationship between the European fur traders and their Native American trading
partners.
Forts Folle Avoine visitors can experience the life and culture of the area's
earliest Native American residents. Various bands of Ojibwe, Odawa,
Cree, Dakota, Fox and Sauk lived in and frequented this land for
hundreds of years!
The North West Trading Post and its competitor, the XY Company, build forts in close proximity primarily for protection from the Dakota's warring against the Ojibwe peoples.
