Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota Wacipi (Pow Wow) Delight your senses at this unmatched local cultural event

I

f you’re looking for a cultural experience unlike any other, the annual Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community Wacipi (Pow Wow) will be right up your alley.

The Pow Wow is held Aug. 15-17, and the public is welcome to experience the beauty and dignity of Native American culture at this extraordinary event.

Your senses will be delighted by the singers with their drums, dancers in spectacular regalia and the smell of frybread in the air.

The word “Wacipi” (wah-chee-pee) in the Dakota language translates as “they dance.”

Its more common meaning is a “Pow Wow,” a social gathering where dancers in regalia and singers at the drum perform as their ancestors did for many generations. Thousands will gather in August to dance, sing and celebrate the Dakota culture at the Wacipi.

Dancers will wear beautiful custom-designed regalia, combining natural and handmade elements for their specific dance style.

Men and boys who dance the traditional style wear Eagle feather bustles and head dresses, leggings, buckskin or cloth pants and shirts and bells while carrying dance sticks, shields or fans. Women and girls who dance wear traditional garments or carry fringed shawls, beaded capes, moccasins, buckskin or cloth dresses and carry fans or decorative, beaded purses.

There is a free program that describes Pow Wow etiquette, dance styles and more. Pow Wow etiquette dictates specific rules for behavior at the event: no drugs or alcohol are allowed. Regalia or drums are not to be touched.

Visitors are asked to show respect during Grand Entry and Honor Songs by standing and removing their hats, and by honoring the “no photography rule” if announced.

The highlight of the Pow Wow is the Grand Entry, when the hundreds of dancers enter the arena following the Eagle feather staffs and flags to open each session. After Grand Entry, Tiny Tots (children ages 6 and under) in regalia are always a crowd favorite.

Babies in their parents’ arms and toddlers with their older siblings will move in time with the beat. Later, elders will dance strong and straight — drawing energy from the Pow Wow circle.

Then the contest dancing begins. Dancers from across the country compete in many different dance categories for thousands of dollars in prize money.

Vendors will have crafts, pottery, jewelry, clothing, beadwork, artwork, food and more for sale. Traditional moccasin games will also be part of the Wacipi.

Chanhassen Dinner Theatres The place to be for outstanding shows and concerts

C

hanhassen Dinner Theatres, the nation’s largest professional dinner theater company, is spending the summer under the sea with its production of “Disney’s The Little Mermaid.”

The play, rooted in a Hans Christian Andersen fairytale, is set in a magical, undersea kingdom in which a young mermaid longs to leave her ocean home to live on land.

“It’s a challenge to inject creativity and ingenuity into a stage musical that’s been adapted from a highly-popular animated film,” said CDT Director Michael Brindisi. “When you’re recreating something like this for the stage, the trick is to find a freshness to distance it from the animation and give it a life of its own.”

A big dose of ingenuity comes with the costumes, whimsy and sets that transform the stage into an undersea world. The watery, tropical colors spill on and off the stage, as characters frequently perform amid the audience.

“The Little Mermaid” runs through August 30, after which the theatre is showcasing Broadway hit “Hello Dolly” from Sept. 5, 2014, through Feb. 20, 2015.

The summer months will also be brimming with plenty of entertainment from the CDT’s

The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Discovering nature in the Twin Cities

T

he Minnesota Landscape Arboretum’s summer exhibit, “Butterflies Beauty in Flight,” is sure to delight anyone who

visits.

The exhibit runs from May through Aug. 17 and is located in the Myer-Deats Conservatory. The conservatory will be filled with live butterf lies native to Minnesota. Check the Arboretum’s website for special butterfly release days throughout the summer!

The Arboretum also offers free family weekends, providing family-friendly fun activities from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

Each month features a different theme specific to the changing seasons: Hungry Caterpillars in June, Nectar Sippers in July, Prairie Pollinators in August and Soggy Bog Plants in September.

The Arboretum’s Oswald Visitor Center is home to a soaring Great Hall, cafeteria-style restaurant, art gallery and gift store. Serving as a formal entry point to the Arboretum, the Visitor Center is an information hub to help guests plan their day. It is also home to the Yard & Garden

Desk, a source of expert plant and pest advice and plant identification.

In the adjacent Snyder Building, visitors will discover the Andersen Horticultural Library with its extensive collection of books and periodicals on topics of botany, horticulture and natural history.

Located just west of the Oswald Visitor Center, the Marion Andrus Learning Center offers kid-friendly nature displays, a “please-touch” greenhouse and Under the Oak nature play area.

No trip to the Arboretum is complete without a journey through the permanent Maze Garden.

Nestled in the pine collection on Three-Mile Drive, the garden sets a new standard in maze design, offers an invitation to wander and provides an emerald-green place to play. The maze includes a children’s route with a lookout tower where parents can watch their young explorers.

For a moment of quiet inspiration or a great day with the family, this season is the perfect time to enjoy the Arboretum — the largest public garden in the upper Midwest.

Cheering on knights in armored jousting or trying to capture victory on Jacob’s Ladder will surely work up an appetite. Visitors have more

than 150 food choices including the famous roasted turkey drumstick, scotch eggs, soup in a bread bowl and apple dumplings.

Each weekend will take on a unique theme with special games, events and attractions.

Wildlife Refuge On the trail of migrating birds

H

ave you always wanted to take one of those wildlife adventure tours? Look no further than the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. The Refuge is one of the premier areas for birding in Minnesota and is part of the National Audubon’s Minnesota River Valley Birding Trail.

The Refuge is an important area for migrating birds. For centuries, waterfowl, songbirds and birds of prey have stopped in the Minnesota River Valley for food, water and rest while on their spring and fall journeys.

Established in 1976, the Refuge provides critical habitat for these migrants, and for resident birds and mammals.

The ability to view the return of migrating birds in an urban area is a unique and special opportunity. The Refuge provides hiking trails for wildlife viewing and photography.

It also provides a variety of volunteer guided bird hikes and nature walks on all of the Refuge Units. And, it provides three photo

– it has crocodiles, monkeys, exotic birds, lemurs and more.

In all, 2,900 animals and 504 species from around the world call this one-of-akind zoological garden’s 500 acres home.

Located just minutes south of the Mall of America, its eclectic array of exhibits, programs and activities are a veritable one-stop shop for wildlife enthusiasts of all ages.

Heart of the Zoo In July 2011, up to 20 African black-

footed penguins arrived at the Zoo to make their new home in “Penguins of the African Coast.”

The exhibit is the first part of a threephased “Heart of the Zoo” construction project, set for completion in 2015.

The $20-million phase also includes repurposing the long-vacant whale pool as an indoor theater and construction of a new environmental education center.

Other “Heart of the Zoo” projects include a new visitor center, African Kopje exhibit, snow monkey enclosure and more outdoor wildlife (2014-15).

The Landing Experience a touch of life in the 1800s

H

istory is alive at The Landing — Minnesota River Heritage Park (formerly Historic Murphy’s Landing) in Shakopee. The idyllic wooded setting stretches along the scenic river valley and brings alive the charm and challenges of life in the 1800s.

Families and history enthusiasts of all ages can step into this historic site, which features the rich diversity of early American life. Your journey will take you from the early days of the fur trade era to a developing village — complete with its shops, homes, church, town hall and railroad depot. During special event days, costumed interpreters are prepared to “spin a yarn,” demonstrate their craft and explain the daily life of the men, women and children who settled in the Minnesota River Valley more than a century ago.

Other special activities throughout the year include The Landing Encampment over Memorial Day weekend, $3 tour days (Saturdays and Sundays), Pa and Ma Day, Civil War Camp, Independence Day 1889 on July 4, Eagle Creek Fair over Labor Day weekend and the everpopular Folkways for the Holidays.

The Build A Camp events provide an opportunity to spend a full day at The Landing, experiencing different aspects of living in the 19th century — a one-room schoolhouse, a Victorian tea party or a day on the farm.
