Wahkon1 writes by Thomas Ivan Dahlheimer********
I am a 60 year old activist who is spearheading an international movement to revert the derogatory name of Minnesota's "Rum River" back to its sacred Dakota Indian name Wakan, sometimes spelled Wahkon, and translated as (Great) Spirit. And I am also spearheading a movement to change 11 other MN geographic place names that are offensive to American Indians.

Activists->Sacred La: Navajo - Hopi land dispute: settlement in site Posted on Saturday, August 19 @ 01:38:08 PDT (3099 reads)

AUTHORS: Kathy Helms and John Cristian Hopkins, Dine Bureau
Navajo, Hopi negotiating teams reach agreement on language in the proposed
compact
WINDOW ROCK -- Since 1958, the Navajo and Hopi tribes have been involved in
litigation over various aspects of the Navajo-Hopi land dispute. A proposed
intergovernmental compact would settle a lawsuit authorized by Congress in
1974.
In the lawsuit known as "the 1934 Reservation Litigation," the Hopi Tribe
asserts that millions of acres of Navajo land are Hopi shrines or religious use
areas and should be awarded to the Hopi. It also argues that Navajo families
living in those areas should be relocated.

Anonymous writes According to historical documents found in, "Minnesota Geographic Names", a book written by Warren Upham, and published by the Minnesota Historical Society... in the late 1700s, white men gave the Rum River its current name by way of a "punning translation" that "perverted the ancient Sioux name Wakan".
