: Welcome to the French Heritage in Minnesota Forum. This discussion grows out of a Minnesota Humanities Commission Teacher Institute Seminar on French Legacies in Minnesota, held November 10-11, 2000, at the Humanities Education Center St. Paul, MN. This is an open forum that allows anyone interested in knowing more about the history of French influence and of Métis culture in Minnesota to exchange ideas and information about their explorations of these topics.

: We'll talk and think with one another and the world wide community of knowers that the Internet is creating engaging in an ongoing conversation/debate. Our hope is to explore the ways in which French culture met and was reformed by the indigenous cultures of the Americas and survived the subsequent impositon of Anglophoe culture on all. We also will share ideas about how to teach what we learn to students in our French, English, Humanities and Social Studies classes. Our purpose is to discover the truth that lies between us, that is the property of no one of us and that can only be discovered if we struggle with each other in the give and take of conversation. Welcome to the search for truth and passionate knowing about who we are.
