Over the objection of all Wisconsin's 11 tribes and many citizens in the region, Republican legislators authorized an out of state, out of country corporation the right to mine the Penokee Hills of a 22 miles long iron ore poor deposit from an Open Pit, despite all kinds of environmental water and air quality issues. The Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa instead authorized the establishment of an off-reservation harvesting camp in order to facilitate an inventory of resources, and assess the potential of long term sustaining tourism and harvesting opportunities under the idea that this old mountain range would rather some day become the Penokee Hills National Heritage Park. And instead of waiting around, the people in these pictures broke bread with the earth and set up camp during the spring of 2013. Enjoy the first of many pictures from the Penokee Range.

News From Indian Country
It started with a little breeze, then grew into a bigger wind. At first, the snowflakes were small. They just kept coming until we had a genuine blizzard in April. My little village of Sawyer was mentioned on the National Weather Channel because of our snowfall amount. I have long suspected that Sawyer sits on a bump on the earth. We got 17 inches one day then a day or so later got another 19 inches.

News From Indian Country
At long last spring is showing up around here. Us Nort’ Landers just experienced one of the longest, most miserable, record-shattering winter snowfalls ever. The snow is only now beginning to melt and there are birds chirping but no dandelions as yet. The weather was so wretched it caused widespread crankiness with an 80% chance of depression causing moody irritable people syndrome. Ennit?
