Due to several factors the town of Pequaming became a "ghost town" in 1942. The factors of location, outside control, resource depletion and changing technology are examined along with alternatives at each stage of development in land use which have arisen since the town was shut down by the Ford Motor Company in a revamping of its holdings. Through several transfers of ownership the property has remained a single holding. A case study approach is used for each ownership period tracing and evaluating actual and proposed development to date. An image-plan model is used in the case study. It essentially tries to determine the plans and goals of the various owners in regard to the site initially, the resources they saw avail- able, methods used by them, and the degree of their success Joseph Lewie Lepczyk with respect to the initial plans and goals. Special atten- tion has been directed to accessing the recreational de- velopment potential of the site at this time.

  • KBIC Fish Hatchery Mission Statement the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community Is the Successor in Interest of the L'anse and Ontonago
    KBIC Fish Hatchery Mission Statement The Keweenaw Bay Indian Community is the successor in interest of the L’Anse and Ontonagon Bands of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, signatories to the 1842 Treaty with the Chippewa (7 Stat. 591), and the 1854 Treaty with the Chippewa (10 Stat. 1109). Our Integrated Resources Management Plan (IRMP; adopted February 12, 2003) vision is to “live in harmony while enhancing and sustaining the resources of the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community for the Seventh Generation.” The Natural Resources Department administers programs for KBIC on the L'Anse, Marquette, and Ontonagon reservations as well as the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan (1842 ceded territory) to achieve this vision. Our Fisheries Program’s goal is to “Facilitate sustainable harvest of fisheries resources within Lake Superior and 1842 Ceded Territory for Tribal members”. Part of achieving this goal includes following a management plan which includes fish stocking. Additional guidance is provided for with Our Wildlife Stewardship Plan (WSP; adopted December 18, 2014). The vision is to “To support, honor, and respect mutual relationships between thriving native fish, wildlife, plant, and human communities by maintaining, enhancing, or restoring ecologically diverse networks of healthy wildlife populations and habitat.” It is stressed within this document that non-native species of plants and animals can and often do out compete native species. It identifies the following goals and objectives relevant to our proposed project and consistent with BIA goals and objectives: 1. Develop a Non-native Management Plan to establish clear goals and actions that will control the encroachment of non-native species.
