Carpenter 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This has been a long journey, and I am deeply grateful to many for their help, guidance, and support along the way in my efforts to complete this research project and dissertation. Dr. Nancy Parezo has been on this journey with me from the beginning, with her valuable advice and encouragement, and enormous amount of patience. Dr. K. Tsianina Lomawaima provided me with keen insight, research tips, and instructive comments that were extremely helpful in completing this project. I express appreciation to Eileen Luna- Firebaugh, J.D., M.P.A., who has provided her practical legal perspective to this work, and to Dr. Joseph Stauss, who has been steadfast through this entire process and confident that the research project would reach completion. I would also like to acknowledge Robert Williams, Jr., whose scholarship and work have impacted Indian country in such a significant manner. The work of other American Indian scholars has greatly influenced and strengthened my work, also, and I express my deepest respect and appreciation to them for laying the scholarly foundation for this work. I am also indebted to the Wenner Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, for their generous support in funding my dissertation fieldwork. I am grateful for the additional financial support provided by the Ft. McDowell Wassaja Memorial Fund, and the University of Arizona’s Graduate and Professional Student Scholar Development Program and the Minority Graduate Student Final Project Fund, Graduate College. In addition, I want to expressly acknowledge the leadership of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior, and all their staff who helped with this project. In particular, I would like to thank Pauline Johnston, Annabelle Kingbird, Rich Robinson, John Ringle, Jeff Harper, Norman Deschampe, John Morrin, Kenneth Scherer, Lorraine Wipson, Gilbert Caribou, Dean Deschampe, David Grinstead, Bill Vogel, Curtis Gagnon, and Rick Novitsky for their contributions to this work. I also express appreciation to all of the staff of the National Archives in Kansas City, Chicago, and Washington, D.C., who assisted in my research endeavors. Throughout my life and the course of my graduate work and this project, I have been blessed with enormous support from many friends and my family. I want to especially thank Dr. Virginia Carney for the inspiration to keep writing and for her tireless editing and attention to detail. Michiko Arima, Susan Butler, and Linda Goggleye have also contributed to this project, with their technical skills and patience with those who have little, and I am very grateful to them. I am also grateful to the members of the Leech Lake Tribal College Board of Trustees, who gave me clear and solid support to complete this project. In addition, I owe much to my dear friend, Dr. Holly Youngbear-Tibbetts, who encouraged me to take the leap and attend graduate school, and who is a firm believer in the native struggle to reclaim land. 5 I express my special thanks and gratitude to my children and granddaughter— Ken, Terra, and Kortni—for their love, support, and encouragement throughout this long journey. I am eternally grateful, also, to all my siblings— Penny, Suzanne, Laura, Connie, and Mike—who have picked me up and kept me going along the way. Finally, to all my ancestors, I hope that I make you proud.

  • Tettegouche State Park Visitor Center and Mndot Class 1 Safety Rest Area
    Tettegouche State Park Visitor Center and MnDOT Class 1 Safety Rest Area Highlights The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the Minnesota Department of Transportation are pleased to present the new Tettegouche State Park Visitor Center and Class 1 Safety Rest Area. The shared facility includes a new building, parking facilities and site amenities to complement the natural setting of the landscape. The new site design improves pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular circulation. Building and Grounds: • 11,000-square-foot, fully accessible space (similar in size to the Interpretive Center at Gooseberry Falls State Park) and meets current safety standards. • Expanded restroom facilities open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. • 750-square-foot exhibit space with interpretive panels to help visitors learn about the historical and cultural significance of the area. • Amphitheater. • Gift shop, open area picnic shelter, lakeside patio, and enclosed front porch. • Meeting spaces and multi-purpose room for interpretive programming, as well as community meetings and functions. • Rain garden and storm water management improvements. Energy and Landscape Features: • 24.3 KW photovoltaic array (which is expected to generate 36% of the building’s energy needs). • Energy efficient building design made with sustainable forest products, high efficiency windows, and structural insulated panel (SIP) walls and roof. LED lighting and high-efficiency fixtures are employed throughout the building, parking lots and entrance drive. Safety and Usage: • In 1986, Tettegouche became the first combined state park and safety rest area in the state. It was followed by a partnership at Gooseberry Falls State Park in 1996, and then a similar facility at Grand Portage State Park in 2010.

Happening to be in the office of the Detroit Record, I told Mr. Benshoof of my intentions and he advised me not to trust a matter of that kind of typewritten stuff as it was too short lived.
