Azhe-Manidoo Mino-Ishkodeng Zhagawaamikong-Neyaashi: Ojibwe Storytelling About Fire

Indigenous peoples have used fire as a land caretaking tool since time immemorial. A team facilitated by MP50 involved in a project called “Returning the Spirit of Good Fire to Minnesota Point,” plans to conduct a 24-acre prescribed burn on Minnesota Point between the beginning of March and the end of May, if conditions are suitable. The pine forest on Park Point is fire-dependent – it needs periodic fires for young trees to regenerate and grow. You’re invited to one of our upcoming events in March to hear Ojibwe stories about fire, learn more about the project, tour the burn unit, and meet the team working on this important cultural and ecological restoration initiative.
