LAKE HIAWATHA STEWARDSHIP REPORT A summary of stewardship duties from 2015-2017 by Sean Connaughty Lake Hiawatha is a 55 acre lake in south Minneapolis, it is part of the Chain of Lakes and a key part of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed. The waters of Lake Hiawatha flow and change with Minnehaha Creek. The water flows from Lake Hiawatha to the Mississippi River and on to the Gulf of Mexico. Lake Hiawatha is a beautiful place, with diverse wildlife where one can find, solitude and open spaces. Lake Hiawatha is also a place that is struggling with pollution and ecological imbalance. I’ve spent the last 3 years working intensively at Lake Hiawatha and incorporating my efforts into my artistic practice.

Lake Hiawatha, the Dumping Ground
Lake Hiawatha, the Dumping Ground The Minneapolis Park Board Master Plan for the Hiawatha Golf Course property wants to use the property as a dumping ground for more storm water. Tyler Pederson, Park Board Project Manager for the Hiawatha Golf Course Master Plan, asked me where water would go if it didn't go to the golf course? The history of the water problems in this area of South Minneapolis gives some enlightenment to the subject. Here is the history that I have tried to piece together. Flooding Through the Years In the late 1970's the City of Minneapolis was already struggling with flooding problems in South Minneapolis. They put together a project to install a deep stormwater tunnel under E. 39th Street to the Mississippi River. They abandoned this project because they didn't want to pay the price. Instead, they took the cheap way out and continued to send storm water to Lake Hiawatha. The 1987 and 1992 Floods In the 1987 flood in the metro area, a man was killed when his basement collapsed on him due to flooding. He lived just north of Sibley Park. The city had to pump water from the basement to recover his body. The flooded water had been half way up the first floor windows. Was this a call to action to build the 39th Street pipe, especially since the drowned man had been a huge advocate of a solution? No, the solution was to buy out and demolish homes at Sibley Park and Bloomington Ave., and continue sending water to Lake Hiawatha.
