Dig into Minnesota geology and celebrate history through Indigenous perspectives! Throw an atlatl, check out Minnesotan fossils, and learn how petroglyphs were carved into stone. Ask experts from the Minnesota Historical Society, the Minnesota Geological Survey, and the Bell’s On Native Land education team all your questions about their work. Minnesota Unearthed is a once-yearly celebration — don’t take it for “granite”!
