| Demographics |
Minnesota has historically been a home to
Scandinavian and German immigrants, Scandinavians, (mostly Norwegians and Swedes)
tending to settle in the colder, forested north, and Germans often residing in
the warmer rolling hills of the south. Minneapolis sits between these two regions
and thus has large populations of people of German and Scandinavian descent. Minneapolis
also has a large Native American population, one of the largest in the United
States. After the Vietnam War, Minneapolis became a destination city for Hmong
and Vietnamese refugees. More recently, a large influx of Somali refugees has
modified Minneapolis's ethnic makeup. | | As
