Lake Superior

Yeah.

Boundary waters, Lake Superior is one of them.

The Apostle Islands are incredible.

I paddled the, the North shore of Lake Superior a number of years ago and it's just a, it's incredible.

It's picturesque.

I mean, also you get crazy conditions, but you get it without tides.

Wisconsin, I didn't really know a lot about.

And I did a road trip all the way across Wisconsin from Milwaukee up to Lake Superior.

And I was kind of blown away by how many things there were to do.

Family-wise, you know, great museums.

So we can be in Lake Michigan in like a half hour.

But if you're standing on the shore, my favorite Great Lake is Lake Superior.

But if you're standing on the shore.

Lots of people die there.

And Lake Superior is a super dangerous lake.

It is.

It's the deepest of the Great Lakes.

And they have, like, lots of shipwrecks and shit.

Hello, everyone.

My name is Caleb Dunlap, and as was shared, I'm the communications director for our Fond du Lac band of Lake Superior Chippewa.

On behalf of our tribal nation, I want to welcome you all to our homelands.

Specifically, we are here in Duluth in what we know it as as Misabakong.

There's a lot of people who express ideas, but when you look at what they actually stand for or what they've done, there's not a lot of meat on that bone.

So the bottom line is I've been all over the district for the last few weeks, from the western UP to the shores of Lake Superior to the Sulox to down in Oscoda and Traverse City, you name it.

I've got a lot of miles on the car this week.

in the past couple of weeks.

this the party that uh... trying to unseat me or on or on stabilize if you will are already fragile in some ways uh... uh... situation is both locally and nationally is they're not the right people to lead there's a lot of people who want to talk There's a lot of people who express ideas, but when you look at what they actually stand for or what they've done, there's not a lot of meat on that bone.

That's one advantage of the design aspect of it.

And they just, I don't know, like that 18-foot Lake Nipissing, it rides the water so nice, like it doesn't matter what the waves are, you know, unless you, I guess if you got out onto Lake Superior when they sank the Edmonton Fitzgerald, you'd be scared.

But other than that...

No, that's fair.

So I hope we'll see eventually a Upper Mississippi reader and a Baraboo Hills reader and a Lake Superior reader and Boundary Waters reader.

You know, there's so many places and it's open for anyone who wants to take it up.

I think it's interesting how you spoke about how, you know, people shape the land, the land shapes the people, but it's also, I think, and this probably also exists in other places, but how because of the topography of the Driftless region, you know, micro college podcast listeners might not know, but, you know, very hilly, rolling, some areas very steep, very limited on wide open spaces, flat land areas.

In 1958, the Minnesota Highway Department proposed a highway to be paid for with the federal interstate highway funds right through the middle of downtown Duluth.

It'd be elevated, run right along Lake Superior shoreline.

To build it, many downtown buildings had to be demolished and all that stuff, right? People went crazy.

So they were like, fine, we'll dig a tunnel and do it underneath.
