The following items were purchased in fall of 1884 to become part of Minnesota's state display at the 1884 World Cotton and Industrial Exposition, also known as the Cotton Centennial. Winchell originally purchased 126 pipestone carvings but apparently only retained these eleven pieces after the Exposition. In keeping with the accepted racism of his time, Winchell used the term 'Catlinite' for pipestone, naming the rock after George Catlin, who was the first known Euro-American to visit the quarry. This term not only ignored centuries of Indigenous activity at Pipestone but did so for no practical reason whatsoever as geologically, pipestone is not a distinct rock type.
Pipestone's importance is due to the rock's religious and cultural significance for many Indigenous cultures and should not be referred to using a European name.
