By the time the Superior National Forest was established most commercial timber was gone and mostly brush was left behind. The first 50 years of management on the Forest emphasized inventory, Europeans recognized different resource values in the area beginning with beaver pelts which were planting, restoring productivity, and protection. Some of the first harvests of the “new” forests was shipped back to Europe for manufacture into felt hats that were in high demand.

It is not intended to stand alone, for there are already in print many good books about rocks and other geologic phenomena in the state. These include Minnesota's Rocks and Waters by George M. Schwartz and George A. Thiel, first published by the University of Minnesota Press in 1954 as well as Minnesota's Geology by Richard W. Ojakangas and Charles L. Matsch also published by the University of Minnesota Press in 1982. A third excellent discussion is Minnesota Undelfoot by Constance J. Sansome published by Voyager Press in 1983. Even though they are all more than 20 years old, these books, and especially the latter, remain the best guides to many of the state's outstanding geologic features. These volumes remain useful today because the rocks at the localities described in them remain unchanged. However, research over the past decade has considerably changed our understanding of the geologic processes responsible for those geologic phenom­ ena and their place in geologic history.

Cash Back is not a charity project; it is part of a decolonization process. Colonization is an economic project based on land theft. It requires a political system that operates through domination and violence to maintain this theft. Therefore, that which enriches the settler state necessarily impoverishes and criminalizes the colonized.2 But wealth is not exclusive to this economic system — a form of accumulation based in hoarding and exploitation.
