Mystic Lake Casino Part three: It’s History
The Casino is operated by the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC), who are a tribe in the southwest of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul and although the focus is on betting and wagering everywhere else – in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the casino, sits a room filled with the history of the SMSC including artifacts and mapped stories. It’s small, but its endearing and really, you should make an effort, no matter where you go, to understand how a place came to be and if possible, the relics of the people who were and are part of it.
