The Grand Portage band of the Ojibwe Indians have a reservation far north MN, just before crossing over into Canada. It's on a natural bay, with barrier islands which protect the coast, and it's very peaceful and the water is beautiful.
We stopped, and did the whole tour of the Grand Portage Trading area, where the Frenchmen set up camp in the winters, to trade with the Ojibwe Indians for their furs.

This is a mock of a Grand Portage band village.

What looks like a fort isn't really a fort, but just the reproduction of the area which built up as a result of the trading. We found out that the reason the logs are pointed on top is to keep the snow from stacking up on them in winter and rotting them. The young man below is named Isaiah, and he did an excellent presentation on the smooth bore flintlock rifle, and how it works.
