The Jeffers Petroglyphs site is an outcrop in southwestern Minnesota with pre-contact Native American petroglyphs. The petroglyphs are pecked into rock of the Red Rock Ridge, a 23-mile (37 km)-long Sioux quartzite outcrop that extends from Watonwan County, Minnesota to Brown County, Minnesota. The exposed surface is approximately 150 by 650 feet (50 by 200 m) and surrounded by virgin prairie. Several old wagon trail ruts traverse the site, one of which is believed to be the old stage coach route from New Ulm, Minnesota to Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Pack Your (travois) Taku Yu Sdohan!
Can you imagine packing all your family's belonging on a carrying device like this one! American Indian families did & within fifteen minutes time when necessary.
Many American Indian cultures, particularly on the plains, used the travois (a French word meaning "labor.") Taku yu' sdohan & can yu' sdohan are Dakota names for this sledge or drag. The travois is a platform or netting supported by two long poles, with the forward ends fastened to a dog or horse & the rear ends trailing on the ground.

Paleo-Indians, Paleoindians or Paleoamericans, were the first peoples who entered, and subsequently inhabited, the Americas during the final glacial episodes of the late Pleistocene period. The prefix "paleo-" comes from the Greek adjective palaios (παλαιός), meaning "old" or "ancient".
