Terror on the water: Grammy nominee Peter Himmelman's childhood encounter with the feared Lakota Sioux Moral of the Story

    • Society & Culture

Grammy-nominated recording artist Peter Himmelman was just a young boy when his father decided to take him on a canoeing trip. It was an early autumn day on Cedar Lake in Minneapolis. 

Hearing a party across the water, they approached to explore. It turned out to be a rowdy affair on Indian beach, named after the feared Lakota Sioux who would frequent the spot.

Suddenly, a muscular shirtless Lakota man dove into the water and began to swim furiously toward the canoe. Peter was terrified. His dad was smiling. 

The ensuing moments would be seared into Peter's memory, proving to be yet another formative experience with his larger than life father.
