Aiaʻo Minnehaha Park ma nā kapa o Mississippi, e hoʻopuni ana i Minnehaha Creek, he kauā o Mississippi, a me Minnehaha Falls. Ua lōʻihi ka lōʻihi o ka haʻalulu i kahi wahi nui i ka poʻe'Amerika pono'ī. ʻO Minnehahaʻo ia ka "wai hāʻule" ma Dakota,ʻaʻole "ʻo ka waiʻakaʻaka" e like me ka unuhi mau.
Uaʻikeʻia ka haha i ka hāʻule i ka makahiki 1820,ʻaʻole i liʻuliʻu ma hope o kona hōʻeaʻana i Minnesota. He kokoke loa nā kahawaiʻo Minnehaha i ka muliwai Mississippi, a he mau mile wale nō mai ke kahua kauaʻo Fort Snelling, kekahi o nā wahi i nohoʻia e nā kama'āina ma ia wahi.
Ua kūkuluʻia kekahi mīkini liʻiliʻi ma ka hāʻule i nā makahiki 1850, akā,ʻoi iki ka mana o Minnehaha Falls ma mua o ka St. Anthony Falls ma ka Mississippi a ua haʻalele kokeʻia ka mīkini.
ʻO ka hāʻuleʻana e lilo i wahi huakaʻi huakaʻi ma hope o ka hoʻolahaʻiaʻana o ka poemipo meleʻo Song of Hiawatha na Henry Wadsworth Longfellow i ka 1855.ʻAʻole loa i heleʻo Longfellow i ka hāʻule i ke kanaka, akā ua hoʻoikaikaʻiaʻo ia e nā hana a nā haumāna o nā moʻomeheu a me nā kiʻi o kaʻAmelika Hui PūʻIa. ka hāʻule.
Ua kūʻai aku ke kūlanakauhaleʻo Minneapolis i ka'āina i ka makahiki 1889 e hoʻolilo i kahi i loko o kahi pā hale. Ua kaulana ka pā kula i nā poʻe a me nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi mai ia manawa mai.
ʻO ka Geology o Minnehaha
ʻO 10,000 mau makahiki,ʻo ia ka'ōpiopio loa i ka manawa'ōnaehana. ʻO ka St. Anthony Falls, kahi iʻeono mau mile e piʻi ana ma ke kauhale o Minneapolis, i hoʻohanaʻia i lalo o ka confluence o Mississippi a me Minnehaha Creek. I ka wā i pale aiʻo St. Anthony Falls i ka kahawai o ka muliwai, ua hoʻokiʻekiʻeʻia ka hāʻule i uka.
I ka hōʻeaʻana o ka hāʻule a hala i ke kahawai o Minnehaha, kahi wailele hou i hoʻokumuʻia ma ke kahawai, aʻo ka ikaika o ka wai i hoʻololi i ke ala o ke kahawai a me ka muliwai. ʻO ka hapa o ka Minnehaha ma waena o ka hāʻule a me ka Mississippi e holo ana ma ke kahawaiʻo Mississippi, a ua kahakaha ka Mississippi i kahi papahele hou.
ʻO kahi pākuhi ma kahi mākaʻikaʻi ma Minnehaha Falls he mauʻike piha ka hohonu no ka hoʻokele o ka hāʻuleʻana a me kahi palapala'āina'āina o ka'āina.
Pehea ke ala e kū ai?
ʻO ke kahawai Minnhaha he 53 kapuaʻi ke kiʻekiʻe. Hōʻalo ka wailele i ka kiʻekiʻe, i ka wā i nānāʻia mai ka waihona!
ʻO nā kapuaʻi, nā pā paʻa a me ke alahaka e kāʻei i ka hāʻule, e hiki ai ke komo i ka kumu o ka hāʻule.
Hiki ke hāʻule ka hapa ma hope o ka ua nui. Lele ka hāʻule a hāʻule kekahi ma hope o ka maloʻo lōʻihi i ke kauwela.
Ma nā hulu anu, hiki i ka hapa ke hoʻokuʻi, e hana i kahi hau hau. ʻO nā paepae i lalo i ka kumu o ka hāʻule, hiki ke lilo i mea anuanu a maʻalahi i ka hoʻoilo, a ke pani mauʻia a paʻa ka hau.
Nā kiʻiʻoihana i ka Park
Aia ka papa he mau kiʻi kiʻi. ʻO ka mea i kaulana loaʻo ka bronze nui o Jakob Fjelde o Hiawatha a me Minnehaha, nā hīmeni o The Song of Hiawatha. Aia ka kiʻi ma kahi mokupuni ma ke kahawai, he ala iki ma luna o ka hāʻule.
Aia kahi huna nui o kahi keiki nui ma kahi kokoke i ka hāʻule. Ua pepehiʻia ke aliʻi i ka hakakā o 1862 ma Dakota. ʻO ka wahi o ke kiʻi ma kahi wahi kapu i nāʻAmelikaʻAmelika.
Nā hana ma ke Kōkeleʻo Minnehaha
Aia ka papa i nā papaʻaina pumehana, kahi papa pāʻani, a me kahi papa pālio leʻaleʻa.
Ke hana nei kekahi hale kūʻai kaʻa pahika i ka hāʻule i nā malama kauwela.
Aiaʻekolu mau māla i loko o ka pā. Ke nānā aku nei ka Pergola Garden i ka hāʻule a he wahi laina kaulana ia.
Aia kahi haleʻaina kai iʻa a me kahi kāʻei i ka pā, e weheʻia ana i ke kauwela.
Loaʻa i laila
Aiaʻo Minnehaha Park kahi ma ke ala o ka Hiawatha Avenue a me Minnehaha Parkway ma nā kapa o Mississippi ma Minneapolis. Aia ka pāpū ma'ō aku o ka muliwai mai kahi kiʻekiʻe o Highland Park o St. Paul.
Hikiʻole ka kaʻa kaʻa i nā mīkini kaʻa kūikawā a iʻole nā wahi kaʻa kaʻa i hoʻonohonohoʻia, a he pili kaʻa kaʻa.
Hoʻopukaʻia ka laina laina lainaʻo Hiawatha i ke 50th Street / Minnehaha Park, kahi hele iki ma ka papa.
I kēlā me kēia makahiki, hiki i ka hapalua miliona poʻe hele i ke kulaʻo Minnehaha, no laila paha e pīhoihoi nei i ka hopena o nā kauwela.
