Project Overview

The Lake Superior Project is an award winning, monthly, highly-produced audio feature that explores the arts, culture, environment and history of Lake Superior and how the Lake affects people's lives and culture along Minnesota's North Shore. We utilize new and existing partnerships, interviews from organizations and individuals, members of tribal governments and band members, and new resources in order to highlight and enhance the rich cultural legacy of our region.
