The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

Before the Clam River was dammed and logging began, the area around present-day Clam Falls had long been peopled by Native Americans, who called the location Cobbekonta, or "Little Falls", while the Clam River was known as Kenesca-Seba--"Clam-Shell River". The St. Croix Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians still inhabit the area, where they are engaged in harvesting wild rice, hunting, fishing, and maple sugaring.
