What is the country of origin for the Monson Lake State Park and the Dakota War of 1862?
Dakota War of 1862 The Dakota War of 1862, also known as the Sioux Uprising, Dakota Uprising, the Sioux Outbreak of 1862, the Dakota Conflict, the U.S.–Dakota War of 1862 or Little Crow's War, was an armed conflict between the United States and several bands of Dakota (also known as the eastern 'Sioux'). It began on August 17, 1862, along the Minnesota River in southwest Minnesota. The war saw extensive attacks on hundreds of settlers and immigrants, and caused many to flee. Intense desire for immediate revenge ended with the mass execution of 38 Dakota men on December 26, 1862, in Mankato, Minnesota.
Waskesiu Lake Waskesiu Lake ( ) is a lake located roughly in the centre of Prince Albert National Park. The lake's name, meaning "red deer," or elk, in the Cree language, is also the name of the resort town northwest of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, on its eastern shore. Waskesiu Lake is by far the most developed lake in the park, and features a variety of recreational facilities along all sides of its shoreline, including two public camp grounds: Red Deer and Beaver Glen. The lake has one island off its western shore known as King Island (formerly Devil's Island) after park founder William Lyon Mackenzie King.
