C <br />Attachment <br />I think the park should be renamed to Tiwahe (Tih-wah-hay) Park, because Tiwahe is the Dakota word for family. The specific definition is "(n) household, members of the family in the <br /> household." This park is on the ancestral homelands of the Dakota people, so using a Dakota word for the new park name would be honoring not only the ancestors who lived here before, <br /> but the Dakota people that are still here today. In addition, it is a simple name that explains the main use of the park as a family park! I live across the street from the Park and <br /> beg you to make the name simple, if you choose to change it. If you want a Dakota word, try Keya (turtle) as there have been such in the little pond. Hinhan (owl) would also be good <br /> - I hear them hooting from the neighbors' trees in the night. If an English word, how about All Welcome? But please I urge you not to pick a word such as you have given to the former <br /> community center. You must not know American speakers if you don't know the word will be soon butchered; it may even morph into For the plantings near the woods.After the builder of <br /> many home in the neighborhood of Pocahontas park.After the fox family that lived down the road.I have lived near the park for 35+ years, my children grew up playing at the park. I walk <br /> early, every morning, and have seen some beautiful sunrises coming over the park.The "three sisters" here are corn, beans, and squash. A number of Native American tribes interplanted <br /> this trio because they thrive together, much like three inseparable sisters. Not only would the name pay homage to a historical tradition of homestead/farming which is true to Roseville <br /> roots, but it would also encourage others to try a three sisters garden at home -- and to learn about our history. Because the Monarch Butterfly was recently put on an endangered species <br /> list and the park could be a good place to incorporate awareness as well as plants the monarchs need to surviveThere is an abundance of maples in the neighborhood! The squirrels love <br /> them.
