| | | | | | | | Discussion:
Reverend Pond was one of Shakopee's original settlers and he had a very unique relationship with the Dakota community and actually developed the Dakota alphabet. Chief Shakopee stands at the entrance of Shakopee and downtown welcoming people and Rev. Pond will stand facing south under the arch at River City Center. | | |
