New MPR Minnesota State Fair tote bag showcases state through an Indigenous lens

Every year Minnesota Public Radio picks a local artist to design a tote bag to be given to thousands of members at the Minnesota State Fair in exchange for donations. Dakota artist Marlena Myles designed this year's special gift, which features vibrant colors and pays homage to each corner of Minnesota through an Indigenous lens.
