概要

 Minnesota history is a rich tapestry, weaving together the diverse experiences, cultures, and events that tell the story of our state. It’s a story that affects—and includes—all of us. Minnesota Unraveled, a podcast by the Minnesota Historical Society, pulls on the threads of the past to reveal new perspectives and expand our knowledge of the history we share. Host Dr. Chantel Rodriguez and her guests invite listeners to think like historians and recognize that learning about other people’s lives in the past can be a powerful way to reveal our place in the present. Join us on a journey across the North Star State as we take a look around us and ask questions that pull us into the past. 世界 社会科学

  • All You See is Past: Histories of Star Knowledge

    All You See is Past: Histories of Star Knowledge
    2026/03/05
    Stargazing is a timeless, shared activity that connects us across cultures and generations. But have you ever considered that when you look up at the night sky, you’re actually looking at history? Because light takes time to travel across the vastness of space, the starlight reaching your eyes is coming from the past. Host Dr. Chantel Rodríguez speaks with three keepers of star knowledge to explore how communities have connected to the cosmos. Ron Schmit and Dr. Cindy Blaha talk about western astronomy and the role of observatories in stargazing and time-keeping. Jim Rock shares Dakota cosmology and the science of Indigenous sky observation. Join us as we look up, get curious, and ask big questions: Why do we look to the stars? What is our role in the cosmos? And how has star knowledge been passed down through generations? For more information on Dakota star knowledge, please watch this video from Jim Rock and Dakota artist Marlena Myles.

  • Honoring Rondo: Sports, Resilience, and the Oxford Community Center

    Honoring Rondo: Sports, Resilience, and the Oxford Community Center
    2026/02/19
    At the southeast corner of Lexington Parkway and Interstate 94 in St. Paul sits the Oxford Community Center, bustling with a water park, playground, and gyms. But behind its walls and athletic fields lies a deep history of community resilience that has remained untold – until now. A group of Rondo community members and elders has teamed up with an oral historian to preserve the story of Oxford through an oral history project. To learn more about Rondo’s connection to Oxford and the project itself, host Dr. Chantel Rodríguez sits down with members of the Oxford team. Two are Rondo community legends: Lisa Lissimore, a trailblazing Oxford athlete, and Frank White Jr., an Oxford coach and Rondo historian. Chantel also speaks with Kim Heikkila, the project convener and a professional oral historian. They are joined by voices from the Oxford Oral History Project, including Bill Peterson, the formidable coach and director of Oxford. Together, they honor the Rondo community’s resilience in transforming Oxford from a rocky playground into a sports powerhouse and a cornerstone of the community.

    Eating the Iron Range: A Cultural Culinary History
    2025/12/04
    The 3 P’s–pasties, porketta, and potica–are beloved dishes on Minnesota’s iron range. How did they become quintessential iron range cuisine and why are they so important to ranger identity? To find out, Dr. Chantel Rodríguez speaks with guests deeply connected to the Range’s culinary history. Cookbook author BJ Carpenter explains how families prepared signature range dishes. Documentarian Mary Lou Nemanic traces the early immigrant waves that brought diverse ethnic foodways to the region. Chef Bryan Morcom shows how local ingredients like wild rice, walleye, and cabbage can be reimagined in Range food today. And restaurateur Tom Forti reflects on how his family’s century-old Sunrise Bakery continues to influence the flavors served at the Iron Ranger. Together, they reveal why preserving these traditions is becoming increasingly important as economic landscapes shift and tastes evolve. Minnesota Unraveled will return with more episodes starting February 19, 2026.
