We Are the River: How the Mississippi Shaped Minnesota
2026•1h 27m•Released
Documentary
From her source at Lake Itasca, the Mississippi winds through Minnesota's prairies, valleys and cities—her constant presence easily taken for granted. To the Dakota she's a sacred relative and source of life; to settlers, the key to prosperity. What do the stories of Native stewards, industrialists, immigrant families and wildlife guardians reveal about the river's future?
