Legacy of Hunting and Trapping on the North Shore
This project focuses on the diverse cultural and historical aspects of life in the rich outdoor setting on the North Shore. It will focus on the history and current methods of hunting and trapping on the North Shore. Through storytelling we will explore the historical role of hunting throughout the entire community, as well as the cultural significance hunting continues to play for members of the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. We will also talk with local youth throughout Cook about how they got involved with hunting in 2019 or recent years, and how this longstanding tradition on the North Shore has shaped human culture in the north woods.

This series will preserve the stories of local hunters and trappers for generations to come. The programming will increase locally focused content and Minnesota focused content produced by pubic radio.
