April River Revival

Anishinaabe Canoe Migration: Culture and Connection on the St. Louis River

Join us for our first River Revival on Thursday, April 16 from 5-6:30 p.m. at the Superior Public Library. Anishinaabe artist, educator, and community organizer Giizh Agaton Howes of Heart Berry will share about the ~11-mile inaugural Anishinaabe Canoe Migration she organized on the St. Louis River in 2025. Come hear from the paddlers who followed ancestral waterways from Chambers Grove to Woodstock Bay in an ongoing effort to reconnect community with the water. Members will share their perspective on the cultural importance of the St. Louis River and Wisconsin Point.

Following the presentation, participants are invited to create their own river-inspired artwork in a hands-on block printing activity (all materials provided). Wisconsin DNR staff will also be present to share updates on current restoration work at Wisconsin Point and Allouez Bay and answer questions. Come listen, learn, create, and connect with the living stories of the river.
