Grand Portage nasjonalmonument
Grand Portage nasjonalmonument ligger i delstaten Minnesota i USA, tett på grensen til Canada. Nasjonalmonumentet består av et gammelt båtdrag (portage) fra stranden av Lake Superior til Canadas grense, en strekning på 13,2 km. Kanotransport på Pigeon River var i nedre deler umulig på grunn av en rekke fosser; derfor måtte man finne en vei forbi.
Ojibwe-indianerne begynte tidlig med handel med blant annet engelskmenn og franskmenn og befolkning lengre mot nord. I samarbeid med indianerne startet North West Company i 1778 en handelsstasjon ved sjøens strand. Den var aktiv til 1802. Disse bygningene finnes å se enn i dag.
