River Revival: Anishinaabe Canoe Migration (Photos)

We’re so grateful for everyone who joined us at our first River Revival on April 16! 💙

A special thank you to Giizh Agaton Howes and the four fellow paddlers who shared their Anishinaabe Canoe Migration experiences—19 women and nonbinary folks paddled from Chambers Grove to Woodstock Bay Landing to reconnect with these ancestral waterways. Your message is inspiring on many levels, and we’re excited to see how this program continues to grow. If you’d like to learn more, follow @anishinaabecanoemigration to see what’s next.

P.S. they are looking for canoe donations if you have any extra boats or gear lying around—email anishinaabecm@gmail.com for more info!

Thank you to our partners at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for your leadership in reimagining community engagement with us and for supporting creative storytelling as a way to connect people to the restoration work at Allouez Bay and Wisconsin Point. We appreciate you sharing project updates and creating space for meaningful conversation. We’re also grateful to the Lake Superior Headwaters Partnership for bringing so many partners together, and to our amazing community for showing up and caring so deeply.

A big thank you to the Superior Public Library for providing such a wonderful event space and being easy to work with. And thank you to our staff member Karen Sunderman for capturing such beautiful photos.

Mark your calendars! Our next River Revival will be on Thursday, May 21 at the Superior Public Library, focusing on manoomin (wild rice) restoration. These events are hosted the third Thursday April-September and are free and open to the public. We can’t wait to see you there!
