It Happens Here
There are many reasons for why people choose to live on the North Shore, but many young people are either born here or move here with family, therefore restricting the idea of living here by choice. In this series, WTIP talks with local youth about what matters the most to them today. In this series, we will speak with local residents who did grow up here and continue to live here as adults. It will be a look at the past, the present and the future of young people living near Lake Superior. It will also explore the current cultural aspects of what it is like growing up on the North Shore, including on the Grand Portage Reservation, on the Gunflint Trail, and other places in the region.

WTIP's Racism Project will increase awareness about local history, specifically related to the experiences of people of color. Additionally, the series will increase the number of diverse voices in our community, while also honoring the contributions of BIPOC to the community through time. The series will serve our community by increasing the level of understanding, motivation and resources to become (hopefully more) anti-racist. It'll also serve as a basis to hold the community accountable for their actions or lack thereof moving forward.
