>> IT'S GOOD THAT WE DO THIS BECAUSE IN THIS AREA, WE HAVE A HIGH COMMUNITY CENSUS OF SELF IDENTIFIED NATIVE AMERICANS BECAUSE WE'RE RIGHT ALONG WITH THE THREE LARGEST TRIBAL NATIONS IN MINNESOTA, WHICH ARE ALL OJIBWA.

SO IT'S IMPORTANT FOR STAFF AND COMMUNITY TO COME TOGETHER AND LEARN AND INTEGRATE, LEARN FROM EACH OTHER, SO WE CAN HAVE BETTER RELATIONSHIPS WITH EACH OTHER.

>> Reporter: THE PRESENTATION WAS OPEN TO SANFORD STAFF AND THE COMMUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE JINGLE DRESS ITSELF, ITS HEALING PROPERTIES, AND MORE ABOUT THE TRADITIONS BEHIND IT.

>> Reporter: ON TOP OF DRAWING ATTENTION TO INDIGENOUS PRACTICES IN GENERAL, SANFORD WANTED TO SPOTLIGHT INDIGENOUS HEALING PRACTICES.

>> WE HAVE PROBLEMS, YOU KNOW, IT JUST MAKES YOU FORGET ABOUT THE PROBLEMS AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, IT JUST MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, YOU KNOW.

JUST LIKE ARTISTS, YOU KNOW.

WHEN YOU ARE PAINTING, YOU PAINT WHAT YOU WANT TO PAINT AND THEN YOU LOOK AT IT AND YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT.

>> IT'S IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS WAYS OF HEALING.

THEY OFFER NUMEROUS WAYS OF HEALING.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH OR HOLISTIC HEALTH, DIFFERENT TYPES OF HEALTH EVEN WITHIN THE INSTITUTION, BUT ALSO BRINGING IN AND ACKNOWLEDGING AND KNOWING SOME OF THE INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE THAT HAS BEEN HERE PRIOR TO OUR WESTERN MEDICINES AND TRYING TO INTEGRATE AND LEARN MORE ABOUT THEM AND THE CULTURE WILL HELP EVERYBODY ALONG WITH THEIR INDIVIDUAL TYPES OF HEALING JOURNEY.

>>> STACY, WE SAW SOME RAIN TODAY.

>> Stacy: WE PICKED UP A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN.

WE'RE STARTING TO SEE THAT EXITING THE AREA AND WE SHOULD SEE MOST OF THAT COME TO AN END OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.

WE HAVE DRY WEATHER THROUGH WEDNESDAY, A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS ON THURSDAY, BUT WINDIER [♪♪♪] >> AND NOW THE WEATHER WITH STACY CHRISTENSON.

[♪♪♪] >> Stacy: WELL, WE HAD A BIT OF RAIN DEVELOPING IN PARTS OF NORTHERN MINNESOTA, FOR THE MOST PART NORTHERN MINNESOTA.

SOME OF THOSE ARE STILL LINGERING TONIGHT BUT WE SHOULD SEE THEM TAPERING OFF AND MOVING OUT.

WE WILL SEE DRY WEATHER THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

WE HAVE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS ON THURSDAY, BUT EXPECT TO SEE WINDS PICKING UP LATER ON THIS WEEK.

IN BEMIDJI, IT'S 47 DEGREES AT THE AIRPORT.

AT THE STUDIO, WINDS ARE CALM AND THE DEW POINT IS 47, AND WE PICKED UP 0.3-INCH OF RAINFALL.

IN BRAINERD, CLOUDY SKIES, 47, WITH A DEW POINT OF 44.

WE HAVE A FALLING BAROMETRIC PRESSURE WITH EAST WINDS AT 7 MILES PER HOUR.

NOW LOOKING AT THE SATELLIT AND RADAR, WE SEE SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, AND THAT'S MOVING TO THE EAST THROUGH THE EVENING AND SOME COULD LINGER IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA.

WE COULD BE SEEING CLOUDY SKIES ACROSS THE AREA.

THE CLOUDS STICK AROUND TOMORROW, WE HAVE A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR A DRIZZLE IN NORTHEASTERN LAKELAND COUNTRY, BUT OTHERWISE QUIET AND DRY WEATHER TOMORROW, CONTINUING INTO WEDNESDAY BEFORE THAT NEXT CHANCE OF SOME SHOWERS ARRIVE.

WEATHER SHOTS TO SHARE WITH YOU TONIGHT, WE DO STILL HAVE SOME BEAUTIFUL FALL COLORS ON THE TREE, THEY BRIGHTEN UP THIS GLOOMY DAY.

GARY IN DEERWOOD, LAURIE SENDING US THIS PICTURE OF THE FALLEN LEAVES NEAR LITTLE TURTLE LAKE AND ANGELA WITH THE CLOUDS OVER CASS LAKE.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR PICTURES WITH US.

ARLENE IN LONGVILLE, CLOUDY AND DRIZZLE, 0.01-INCH OF PRECIPITATION.

ON OUR ALMANAC, BRAINERD TODAY TOPPING OUT AT 58, SO ACTUALLY THAT IS THE AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR TODAY, BUT THOSE TEMPS HAVE BEEN FALLING, SO OUR LOW IS THIS EVENING AT 47, SUNRISE AT 7:30 THIS MORNING.

BEMIDJI REACHING A HIGH OF 51, FALLING SHY OF THAT AVERAGE HIGH.

47 IS THE LOW AND WITH THE CLOUDS AND RAIN, WE'RE NOT SEEING MUCH THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND SUNSET AT 6:37.

LOOKING AT OUR FORECAST FOR TOMORROW, THERE IS A CHANCE FOR SLIGHT DRIZZLE BUT CLOUDY SKIES ACROSS THE AREA, AND THE CLOUDS ARE GOING TO STICK AROUND AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE DAY.

AS FAR AS OUR TEMPERATURES GO, WE SHOULD BE SEEING THOSE HIGHS IN THE LOW 50s ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF OUR VIEWING AREA, AND THEN AS WE HEAD INTO CENTRAL MINNESOTA, TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE LOW TO MIDDLE 50s, 54 IN BRAINERD.

SO OUR FORECAST FOR TONIGHT, CLOUDY SKIES, WITH A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS AND DRIZZLES MAINLY IN NORTHEASTERN MINNESOTA, AND SOME PATCHY FOG WITH LOWS NEAR 41.

TOMORROW, MOSTLY CLOUDY, STILL SOME PATCHY FOG AVAILABLE IN THE MORNING, AND THE LIGHT DRIZZLE IN THE NORTHEAST IN THE MORNING, HIGHS NEAR 52, AND WINDS OUT OF THE NORTHWEST AT 5 TO 15.

TAKING A LOOK AT OUR EXTENDED FORECAST, DRY WEATHER CONTINUES ON WEDNESDAY WITH PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES, HIGHS NEAR 57.

THERE IS THE SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN ON THURSDAY, HIGHS NEAR 58.

TEMPERATURES DROP ON FRIDAY, ALTHOUGH WE WILL START TO SEE SOME MORE SUNSHINE AND WINDS WILL PICK UP.

HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE AROUND 60 TO START THE WEEKEND, INTO THE 60s ON SUNDAY, AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE SHOULD BE SEEING A LOT OF SUNSHINE AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

SUNNY ON SATURDAY, PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY ON SUNDAY.

SAME SCORE, BSU ON THE HUNT, ETHAN GOES OFF THE PIPE FOR GOLD, TIES THINGS UP AT 2-2.

THIRD PERIOD, BEAVERS DOWN 3-2 AFTER A GOAL FROM UND, AND HE DOESN'T NEED ONE FOR THAT SNIPE.

FOR THE WOMEN, LEAH RABAS FROM GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN, EARNED FIRST PLACE IN HER FIRST EVER MARATHON, HOWEVER RUNNING IS NOTHING NEW TO UNIVERSITY OF IOWA ALUM.

>> IN COLLEGE, I RAN MY FIRST YEAR AND I WAS INJURED A LOT, SO I DIDN'T KNOW IF I WOULD BE ABLE TO RUN A MARATHON.

BEING HERE TODAY IS JUST INCREDIBLE AND I DECIDED TO SIGN UP AND MARCH.

I THOUGHT I MIGHT AS WELL TRY IT.

I'VE BEEN HEALTHY FOR A FEW YEARS NOW AFTER COLLEGE.

I WAS REALLY EXCITED TO RUN IN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL STATE AND ESPECIALLY IN THE FALL, I LOVE THE COOLER TEMPERATURES AND IT FELT GREAT.

>> I AM ABSOLUTELY PUMPED TO COME IN AND BE FIRST.

I WASN'T NECESSARILY EXPECTING THAT.

I DON'T PREP TOO MUCH, I JUST TRY TO RUN EVERY DAY, 8 TO 10 MILES A DAY.

I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS ALL SUMMER.

IT'S THOSE DAYS WHEN YOU DIDN'T WANT TO RUN THE 10 MILES IN THE MORNING, IT'S LIKE WELL, I HAVE THE BLUE OX COMING UP.

I WOULD LIKE TO RUN THAT WELL.

>> Miles: TAKING A LOOK AT THIS WEEKEND'S WINNERS FROM THE MARATHON, LOVELY DAY THIS PAST WEEKEND, PROBABLY A LITTLE HOTTER THAN THE RUNNERS WERE EXPECTING, 75 DEGREES.

AS YOU CAN SEE, IT DIDN'T EFFECT THE TIMES.

>> Dennis: YEAH, 75 AT THAT TIME OF THE DAY, IN OCTOBER IN BEMIDJI, IT'S PRETTY WARM, NO DOUBT.

>> Miles: THEY WERE NOT EXPECTING THAT FOR THE MARATHON.

>> Dennis: THANKS MILES.
