Today’s Final Jeopardy Answer – Friday, February 17 2023
The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Yellowstone National Park
Final Jeopardy Explanation – Friday, February 17 2023
The Yellowstone River, from which the park gets its name historically, inspired the name of Yellowstone National Park.
French-Canadian trappers who came to the area in the 1800s and encountered the Minnetaree Tribe, who now live in Montana, are responsible for the origin of the name of the Yellowstone River. The river was known to these Native Americans as “Mi tse a-da-zi,” which is probably a translation of the Hidatsa name, which means “Yellow Stone River.”
The trappers used this interpretation, rendering it as “Pierre Jaune” in French, which means “Yellow Stone.”
