NPLSF-led volunteers cleaned up a once-lively fishery whose buildings had fallen into disrepair. See the photos and hear the stories of the group’s thoughtful approach to a gritty task.

More than 100 National Park Service leaders traveled to the Twin Cities for their annual Midwest meeting in September. Learn about the week’s events, and how NPLSF’s board connected with the Superintendents of Lake Superior’s five national parks during their visit.

Reflections on Rendezvous Days and Grand Portage Pow Wow:

Executive Director Tom Irvine reflects on his time at two beloved events in Grand Portage —the living history of the National Park Service’s Rendezvous Days and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa (Anishinaabe) Pow Wow, which combines new experiences from old traditions, including a Grand Entry, drum circle, and stunning regalia.
