According to our current theories these folks should not be further east than the Minnesota short-grass prairies, and yet we see hints of them near the St. Croix....

Plains atlatl point styles like Pelican Lake, Oxbow and Besant,etc., and made of Minnesota stone materials have been found in Dunn and Pierce Counties by Dan Wendt.
