	Takakkaw Falls - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Takakkaw Falls (also spelled Takkakaw Falls) is a group of three waterfalls located in Yoho National Park, near Field, British Columbia, in Canada.
		"Takakkaw" is pronounced TA-kuh-koh, from the Cree word for "magnificent." They are fed by the Daly glacier, which keeps the volume of the falls up during the warm summer months, and are a tourist attraction, particularly in late spring after the heavy snow melts, when the falls are at peak condition.
		The Takakkaw Falls were featured in the 1995 film Last of the Dogmen.
