在聖約瑟河(St.
Joseph River)成長
地方性遺產
人類沒有水，就活不下去。所以在水邊建立村落是一件合情合理的事。
對印地安納州的南本德(South
Bend)而言，聖約瑟河永遠都是他們的市中心。聖約瑟河源起密西根，流經印地安納州，最後流入密西根湖。總長210英里。事實上，因為河道在這處轉了一個大彎(great
bend)，所以這兒才被叫做南本德(South
Bend)。
長久以來，這條河川對印地安納州極為重要，它促使人們(如：邁阿密人及波塔瓦托米族印地安人)定居在此。不久，連移民也在此落腳。首先在此定居的是1600年代的法國人，然後是西班牙人及拉丁人，而1679年的法國探險家拉薩爾(Sieur
LaSalle)是第一個在聖約瑟河上航行的白人。
南本德鎮在慶祝它的歷史時，仍然會在聖約瑟河河岸附近舉辦慶典。Kee-Boon-Mein-Kaa是南本德的黑果豐收祭，由波塔瓦托米族印地安民族主辦。慶典內容包括了美國印地安人的舞蹈表演、品嚐美味的食物及讚賞精巧的工藝品。
People cannot live without water. So it makes sense that communities are established near significant bodies of water.
In South Bend, Indiana, the St. Joseph River has always been at the heart of the city. The St. Joseph River begins in Michigan, flows into Indiana and then into Lake Michigan. All in all, it travels a 210-mile journey. In fact, the name South Bend comes from the great bend that the river takes there.
The river has been important to Indiana for a long time, encouraging people such as the Miami and Potawatomi Indians to live there. Later, immigrants settled there as well. First it was the French in the 1600s, then the Hispanics and Latinos. The French explorer Sieur LaSalle was the first white man to float on the St. Joseph, in 1679.
The town of South Bend still celebrates its history along the St. Joseph River. Kee-Boon-Mein-Kaa is a huckleberry harvest festival in South Bend that is hosted by the Potawatomi Indian Nation. This festival includes American Indian dance performances, delicious things to eat and crafts to admire.
