[Mpls] History in Lower NE

[Tom Taylor]

Correction to Shawne's correction:
"The Metis village, the Metis farms and St. Anthony of Padua Church were
on the west bank - in St. Anthony."

The Metis village was located on the EAST bank of the Mississippi.  The St.
Anthony of Padua Church is still located on 8th and 2nd in lovely lower NE
MPLS.  The original cemetery for the church was located on the river at
about 14th and Marshall ST.  This cemetery's location became apparent when
the development of the River Run housing development unearthed bones that
were attributed to that cemetery.

A curious thing that I have not been able to get an answer to yet is that
the original remains that were unearthed were deemed to be native American
but I have not been able to find out what happened to those and how they
happened to be buried in a Catholic cemetery.  Perhaps they were from an
assimilated individual that had taken up the faith.

I am still waiting and will let folks knows if and when I find anything out.

Has anyone from the AFCAC heard and I wonder if the AFCAC has
suggestions/recommendations in place for what should happen when something
like this happens again?

CORRECTION

The Metis village, the Metis farms and St. Anthony of Padua Church were
on the west bank - in St. Anthony.  As was the settlement of the early
New Englanders - John Stevens being an exception.
