Izatys
Vineland Historical Marker
In this vicinity stood the grand Sioux village of Izatys where Duluth planted the French arms on July 2, 1679.
The settlement was visited by Father Hennepin in 1680. About 1750 the Chippewa moving westward from Lake Superior, captured the village, and by this decisive battle drove the Sioux permanently into southern Minnesota.
Marker is at the intersection of U.S. 169 and Vineland Road, on the right when traveling north on U.S. 169.
