truly serendipitous to find this! right now am looking over the Keweenaw Bay from Aura, Mi. towards the portage there which leads to Houghton then Duluth and in past 2 years camping and having read during that time Superior Heartland volume I was compelled to buy a place at tax sale over in Baraga an Ojibwa Indian community and have been working on it. Have met a woman raised in the area you are in and her tribal upbringing included the harvesting of wild rice in canoes a fascinating process she described in plainspoken detail. Also when i saw the fly fishing stuff and reference to the book i also loved years ago "Canoeing with the Cree" i knew i had to start here at the beginning and meet up again on the trail when i get to present time frame....i will enjoy the walk....this area is so rich in history and demands respect like the Lake which spiritually enfolds it...

This sounds perfect for you.

I’d say they’re lucky to have the “old fart” in their ranks☺️
This is looking like fun! Why is your role called “interpreter”? What are you interpreting?
Thanks, Tom! See this link: https://www.nps.gov/idp/interp/101/module.htm#:~:text=Interpretation%20is%20driven,with%20those%20resources.
That’s a complicated and very interesting answer! How cool
Thanks, Carole. It’s a great opportunity at a lovely spot. Hopefully I can make the most of it!
