SUMMARY:Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ Loopet Loppet
DESCRIPTION:Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ Loopet Loppet Celebrate Dakota people\, land\, and traditions along Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ (Basset Creek) with a 6 or 12 hour trail hike or run as an individual or with a relay!\nRegister\nVolunteer\n							\n						\n					\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				October 17\, 2026 \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ Loopet Loppet\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Loopet Loppet is deepening your connection with the outdoors! \nWe’re celebrating Dakota people\, land\, and traditions along Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ\, the Dakota name for Bassett Creek. \nJoin the Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ Loopet Loppet and run or walk a 6-hour or 12-hour experience that connects you with the earth in new ways. Come solo or as a team of 4 to run or walk as many 5-mile loops as possible. \nWe’ll also have a Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ Little Loopet for kids to walk\, run\, and romp! \nThe Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ 1 Loop Fun Run/Walk! This untimed event is perfect for running or walking along the creek\, either solo or with friends. \nPartners will be on-site to help us practice saying Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ\, the creek’s Dakota name that loosely translates as “Falls Creek.” You can learn more in this 2-minute YouTube video\, “How to Pronounce Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ\,” by filmmaker Tiana LaPointe (Sicangu Lakota). \nFor more Native viewpoints about the West Metro\, please enjoy the Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ / Bassett Creek Oral History Podcast. It’s available on Spotify\, YouTube\, or wherever you get your podcasts. By sharing these stories widely\, this event aims to help to reframe the suburbs as Indigenous places and amplify contemporary Native voices. \nMany thanks to our close collaborators\, including Cultural Advisors Darlene St. Clair (Dakota)\, Jim Rock (Dakota)\, Roxanne Gould (Anishinaabe)\, and Bradley Blackhawk (Ho-Chunk). Support is also provided by Hennepin History Museum\, St Anthony Falls Heritage Board\, Niniijaanis One of Ones\, Four Sisters Farmers Market\, Blue Hummingbird Woman\, Rising Hearts\, ReNew Earth Running and Native Women Run. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nGALLERY \n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Registration\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n	\n    Individual - 12 Hour\n    Next Price Increase Oct 13: $110\n  \n  \n    $92\n    Register\n  \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n	\n    Individual - 6 Hour\n    Next Price Increase Oct 13: $100\n  \n  \n    $99\n    Register\n  \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n	\n    Relay\n    Next Price Increase Oct 13: $79\n  \n  \n    $60\n    Register\n  \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n	\n    1 Loop Fun Run/Walk\n    Next Price Increase Oct 13: $46\n  \n  \n    $38\n    Register\n  \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n	\n    Kids Little Loopet\n    \n  \n  \n    $5\n    Register\n  \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Registration and transaction fees are non-refundable\, including in the event of delay\, rescheduling\, or cancellation of an event or program.
