    ‘Good fire’ comes to life in Ojibwe picture book set on Wisconsin Point (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A year ago, an intentional fire was set on Lake Superior’s Wisconsin Point with the return of Ishkode, an Ojibwe word meaning “good fire.” Last practiced generations ago, the culturally prescribed burn returns nutrients to the soil and helps native plants thrive while honoring the sacred relationship between the Ojibwe people and the land. Now that practice has been further immortalized in “Ishkode: A Story of Fire,” by Nisogaabokwe Melonee Montano and Evan Larson. It’s richly illustrated by Moi

    Oh deer — or is it an elk? Wisconsin DNR urges hunters to know the difference (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    If you’ve ever witnessed the Lake Superior Dragon Boat Festival, you know that the races are fiercely competitive, which raises the question if there have ever been any crashes. With the races scheduled to begin this Friday, the answer this year is yes — but not on the water. Rather, a truck delivering some of the boats had an accident on US Route 2 in Iron River this week, damaging some of the watercraft.
