Wayfinding Project

Explore the Wayfinding Project, a series of displays located throughout the city’s parks. The project was funded by Visit Little Falls and Region Five, and came to fruition through the efforts of volunteers on The Welcome Committee, Little Falls’ students, and Visit Little Falls staff members. The Wayfinding project is meant to improve wayfinding for residents and tourists alike, invite people into the Little Falls community, and help to highlight and celebrate the history of the city and the Native American people.

The displays were created by Adrienne Benjamin, an Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) artist from the Chiminising community. Adrienne is a multi-disciplinary artist, accomplished arts administrator, social justice advocate, and renowned jingle dressmaker. She creates different culturally embedded crafts with contemporary and traditional flair. Her main focus is creating current, socially relevant, and culturally significant work that intersects with Anishinaabe values, history, and lifeways.

The Wayfinding project displays can be found throughout local Little Falls community parks including LeBourget Park, Mill Park, Riverside Park, Pine Grove Park, and Belle Prairie Park. In total there are 15 Ojibawee Wayfinding displays, each with its own artwork and information.
