Minnehaha's Love
Story Glamorous

What do you think of when you
hear Minneapolis" mentioned:
Flour, probably. Yet, Minneapoli.
is the setting of one of the most
glamorous love stories related in
our literature, the one which Hen
ry Wadsworth Longfellow has en-
shrined in ''The Song of Hiawa-
tina" That is excuse enough for
combining Sioux and Greek tc
form the city's distinctive name
instead Of simply calling it EVA
tertown" in standardized Anglo.
Saxon.
The historic value of 1.-THE Sone
of 'Hiawatha'' is not as impeacablt
as lovers of the poem might de-
sire, but it makes a good story
anyhow. The name Of Hiawath.
is the Anglicized form of the Iro-
quois name, which is spellee
Taoungwatha and Hayenwatha.

of Onondago," spelled the name
"Taounyawatha" and confused tn,

tional touches.
Minnehaha, however, did not pas.

to qualify for the feminine lead in
the poem. She was Sioux maid
en-. Her name was made up Of
two words of the Dakota, or Sioux,
tongue. These are ''minne," or
water, and 'haha," or laughter.
Hence Minnehaha means "laugh-
ing water" or water laughter"
and refers to the gurgling sounds
made by creek, near which the
girl lived, as it swept over the
rocks, now called the 'Falls of
Minnehaha."
The creek and the falls are now
features of Minnehaha Park, in
the southern part of Minneapolis.
1t was near the falls, history says,
that Minnehaha had her wigwam
and met Hiawatha. interestingly
enough, the man who has been as
signed to write on this subject for
the American Guide, the Govern
ment's forthcoming 5-volume ira
vel handbook, is the grandson of a
Chippewa Indian chief.
Minneapolis citizens are proud
of the poetic background of their
city. Besides naming the land a.
bout the Falls after Minnehaha,
they have placed in the bed of the
creek, just above the falls, sta
tue representing Hiawatha in the
act of carrying his sweetheart a.
cross the stream. Two of the par
allel avenues which run through
the city to the park are named af-
ter the lovers. Minnehaha Boule-
ward, which runs along the creek,
lis considered one of the most pic
turesque Of city drives. In south
ern Minneapolis, also, are two
lakes which recall the poem-No-
komis, encircled by Nakomis Boule-
bard, and Hiawatha.
