Indigenous fire practice returns to Minnesota Point after 180 years
Reported byICT News ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
The Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa conducted a cultural prescribed burn on 17 acres of Minnesota Point's woodlands on Thursday, the first fire on the land in 180 years, in collaboration with the city of Duluth, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The burn was low-intensity and carefully managed; the long-term ecological outcomes are still to be observed.
