The festival will highlight the cultural and historical significance of Owámniyomni, the Dakota name for the falls, meaning “turbulent water.” The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) is proud to partner with Owámniyomni Okhódayapi, the nonprofit organization that will begin transforming five acres along the riverfront in the coming years.
