500-mile trek from Pembina to St. Paul. Look at this photograph of a Red River Ox Cart <br />family in camp returning to Pembina after trading in St. Paul. Can you find at least one item <br />they might have traded their furs for in St. Paul? Answer: Bed frame. What else did you find? <br />Differing Points of View <br />1. Some visitors (or colleagues) may think the inclusion of the faux ox is kitschy, rather than <br />educational. Can they be both? Is that okay?
