101. Choctaw Homestead And Mississippi Ecosystem The financial portion of the project was funded by a grant from the MississippiGeography Education Fund and a WalMart grant. http://www.gsd.k12.ms.us/choclyt.html

The Grenada Middle School has created an outdoor environment to depict a Mississippi Native American Choctaw Homestead to include elements of the ecosystem, lodging, art, and use of natural resources. Our living bioregional model provides an innovative teaching tool in an interactive learning environment. The Homestead traces the settlement proesses and patterns of Mississippi Choctaws and their reactions to and modifications of their physical environment. The project has provided enhanced resources for our district through a three-dimensional environmental experience. This learning environment has fostered an awareness of the interrelated characteristics of habitat, need for resource conservation, and has provided information influencing the patterns of human development. The key players in the developmental process of our project are a varied group of community partners. The financial portion of the project was funded by a grant from the Mississippi Geography Education Fund and a Wal-Mart grant. Development of the Choctaw portion of our project was assisted by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians (particulary Thallis and Woodlin Lewis), and the Mississippi Choctaw Field Office

Here the Mississippi pours over the only waterfall in its entire length and is joined by the Minnesota River from the west and the St. Croix from the northeast. A lock now brings watercraft past the Falls of St. Anthony to the upper harbor, in downtown Minneapolis. The Falls of St. Anthony, given its present name by French missionary Louis Hennepin, is shown in this painting by the artist Henry Lewis as it looked in the 1840s. Prized by Euro-Americans for its water power, the falls became a saw-milling center and the nucleus of an industrial city in the 1850s. Drawing from Harpers Monthly Vol. XXX No. 1534. In the 1870s and 1880s sawmills at the falls gave way to flour mills, and Minneapolis became famous as the world's breadbasket. Drawing from Harpers Monthly Vol. XXX No. 1534. Below the falls, the banks of the river rise steeply, forming a narrow gorge, and it is joined by Minnehaha Creek. This stream rises in a cluster of lakes to the west of Minneapolis. As it approaches the Mississippi, it pours over a scenic waterfall.
