Nimaawanji’idimin Giiwitaashkodeng Project
The “River Talks” speaker series organized by the Wisconsin Sea Grant Program and Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve invites you to a presentation of the Nimaawanji’idimin Giiwitaashkodeng project: Using Fire to Heal the Land on Wisconsin and Minnesota points. Presentation is January 11, 2023, at 7 PM Central time, and is available in person or by Zoom.
Presenters Evan Larson, University of Wisconsin-Platteville and Melonee Montano, Red Cliff tribal member and University of Minnesota graduate student will provide background to this work showcasing the story of Ishkode, fire, and forest change on Zhaagawaamikong Neyaashi, Minnesota and Wisconsin points, as described by the rings of red pine trees interpreted by undergraduate students from Fond du Lac Tribal Community College and the University of Minnesota Duluth. This will be an excellent forum for sharing the history of this landscape and discussing how this history may guide the stewardship of both Minnesota Point and Wisconsin Point in the future.
