Kimodakiwi

Kimodakiwi is an Ojibwe name recorded for the Thief River in northwestern Minnesota. The river flows south through wetlands and wooded country to join the Red Lake River, a tributary of the Red River of the North. Its name has been translated as “stolen land” or “thieving land” river. Together with the Red Lake River, it drains a country of lakes, marshes and low prairie on the western side of the northern forests.
