Just as the growth of wild rice is vital for the Ojibwe community, the growth and development of our youth is vital to our global community. At Menogyn, teens are provided with unique and powerful ways to learn and care about themselves, about others, and about the world.

  • The Picture Rock of Crooked Lake
    The Picture Rock of Crooked Lake Grace Lee Nute WHAT THE HIEROGLYPHS on ancient Pharaohs' tombs are to Egyp­ tians, what the carvings and symbols on Maya and Aztec temples are to Mexicans, the Indian picture rocks on border waters are to Minnesotans. They are bold, sheer cliffs on which aborigines have painted or carved, high above water usually, the figures of animals, birds, and men, as well as other representations. There is a picture rock on Lac la Croix, famous for its bright colors and accessibUity; another on Hegman Lake in Superior National Forest; and one on Darkey Lake in Quetico Provincial Park. Several others could be mentioned. The most famous of these cliffs is the Picture Rock of Crooked Lake, a narrow, tortuous body of water between Basswood Lake and Lac la Croix. Its renown is due not only to its painted hiero­ glyphics, but, more especially, to its history. The first explorer to report this rock was also one of the most explicit in his account of it. This was Sir Alexander Mackenzie, whose trip to the Arctic Ocean in 1789 resulted in the naming after him of one of North America's greatest rivers. In 1801, after a sec­ ond trip, this time across the' continent to the Pacific, he published an account of his two expeditions. It is in this book that one reads a description of the Picture Rock of Crooked Lake: "Then succeeds the portage of La Croche. Within three miles of the last Port­ age is a remarkable rock, with a smooth face, but split and cracked in different parts, which hang over the water.

  • A Resource Assessment of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, 1999 - 2003
    United States Department of AFTER THE BLOWDOWN: Agriculture Forest A RESOURCE ASSESSMENT Service Northern OF THE BOUNDARY WATERS Research Station General Technical CANOE AREA WILDERNESS, Report NRS-7 1999 - 2003 W. Keith Moser, Mark H. Hansen, Mark D. Nelson, Susan J. Crocker, Charles H. Perry, Bethany Schulz, Christopher W. Woodall, Linda M. Nagel, Manfred E. Mielke Abstract The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) is an ecological and recreational treasure situated within the Superior National Forest in northern Minnesota, USA. It contains some of the last unspoiled remnants of the great North Woods of the Lake Superior region. A major storm hit the BWCAW on July 4, 1999. Known as the “Boundary Waters- Canadian Derecho,” this rare type of storm lasted for more than 22 hours, traveled more than 1,300 miles, and produced wind speeds averaging almost 60 mph. Following the devastation of the windstorm, the Forest Inventory and Analysis unit of the Northern Research Station collaborated with the Eastern Region of the USDA Forest Service and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to sample this landscape and assess the effects of this catastrophic event. Live-tree volume per acre estimates in the BWCAW were 29 percent lower for plots damaged by wind (796 cubic feet/acre) than for plots with no disturbance (1,128 cubic feet/acre). For the aspen/birch forest-type group and the hardwoods supergroup, volume per acre was signifi cantly lower in blowdown conditions than in conditions of no disturbance. Mean fuel loadings estimates indicate that blowdown areas had nearly twice the 100- and 1,000-hr+ fuels as the non-blowdown areas.

Minnesota Statutes 3.197 requires that a report to the legislature contain the cost of preparing the report. The cost of preparing this report was $2,320,000. Study of Off-Highway Vehicle Trails “By January 15, 2005, the commissioner of natural resources must submit a report to the chairs of the legislative committees with jurisdiction over natural resources policy and finance concerning the compatibility of multiple uses of the outdoor recreation system. The report must address the current and future availability of recreational opportunities for non-motorized and motorized activities, and recommend legislative and policy changes to preserve natural resources and to assure the continued availability of outdoor recreation opportunities for all residents of this state. The report must also address cost of maintenance, operation, and enforcement for the current off-highway trails system, including, but not limited to, how many miles of trails the department’s off-highway vehicle budget will support. The report must include: (1) a detailed discussion of sources of revenue for trails; (2) an analysis of recent and projected expenditures from the off-highway vehicle accounts; (3) information regarding all other sources of revenue used for off-highway vehicle purposes; and (4) a current inventory of all the state forest roads and access routes, including designated off-highway vehicle routes and all motorized and non-motorized trails.” Definitions The terms all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), off-highway motorcycles (OHMs), off-road vehicles (ORVs) and off-highway vehicles (OHVs), are used frequently throughout this report.
