History

The Pembina area originally was the point of intersection of the Sioux Indians, the Chippewa Indians and the Assiniboine Indians, who competed for hegemony over the territory beginning with the first introduction of firearms in the late 1500s. The first known European visitors to the Pembina region were the Vérendrye family in the early 1700s. While much of the surrounding territory was settled by whites only in the late 1870s and 1880s, Pembina has a rich history dating back well over 200 years, associated with the fur trade and American bison; the histories of French Canada, Hudson's Bay Company, the Métis people, Selkirk Colony, Seven Oaks Massacre, the Red River Rebellion, Assiniboia, and Manitoba; the Red River of the North, Red River ox cart trains and the Red River Trails over which they traveled; Dakota and Minnesota territories; and border politics. The Pembina River and the Pembina Band of the Ojibwe Indians on the Turtle Mountain Reservation have been chronicled by the noted American author Louise Erdrich. Only in the past few years have Pembiners recognized their unique heritage.
