Project Overview

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.
