Santa, his reindeer, and “Eskimo” helpers delighted thousands of Minnesotans of all ages with Christmas parades and holiday extravaganzas in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Learn about Santa’s adventure-filled journeys to Duluth, St. Cloud, St. Paul, and other cities and towns. Meet the reindeer and the colorful characters who were the stars of this little-known chapter of Minnesota history. Join Marlene Wisuri, Duluth researcher and long-time member of the North American Sámi community, as she chronicles the amazing tale of Minnesota’s reindeer and Santas.
