Laughing Water in Minneapolis

With him dwelt his dark-eyed daughter, Wayward as the Minnehaha, With her moods of shade and sunshine, Eyes that smiled and frowned alternate, Feet as rapid as the river, Tresses flowing like the water, And as musical a laughter; And he named her from the river, From the water-fall he named her, Minnehaha, Laughing Water. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s “The Song of Hiawatha” which was written in 1855, and with all due respect regarding its portrayal of Indigenous cultures and historical accuracy, a literary classic that brings life to this Minnesota gem – Minnehaha Falls. (Minneapolis, Minnesota)
