Minneapolis is the Dakota Siouxword mni meaning ‘water’ with Greek word ‘polis’ for city.

The name Minnesota is based on a Dakota Sioux word which means ‘sky-tinted water’.

Using the name ‘Viking’ is a CLEAR case of cultural appropriation.

It looks like they need to change the name of their city, their state AND their football team - or risk having those words banned by other cities.

The Miccosukee use the word “minneapolis” when describing male native Americans from frigid north as “men with minnie small features caused by cold weather”.
Were they referring to their brains or another part of the anatomy? /Hum.
