I worked at a shop in Bemidji ,MN. The guy I worked for told me about 
how his Mom and family (when she was little) came to town from Red 
Lake. I'm not sure where on the reservation they were coming from but 
the town Red Lake is 35 miles from Bemidji.
They made the trip with a horse drawn wagon. One day to travel to 
town, spend the night with relatives, shop the next day, spend the 
night with relatives and travel back home the third day.
