St. Croix Watershed Research Station, Science Museum of Minnesota, Marine on St. Croix, Minnesota. Executive Summary 1) Sediment cores recovered from seven basins in southern Lake of the Woods in 2012 were analyzed to reconstruct a historical phosphorus budget for the southern lake from 1900-2011. 2) Sediment cores were subjected to multiple analyses including radioisotopic dating with Pb-210 to establish a date-depth relationship for each core, loss-on-ignition to determine major sediment constituents, biogenic silica to estimate historical diatom productivity, diatom communities to identify ecological changes and estimate historical water column total phosphorus (TP), extraction and determination of phosphorus (P) fractions, and extraction of fossil pigments to quantify the historical abundance of various algal groups. 3) Pre-damming sediments were between 17 and 30 cm deep depending on basin (Buffalo Bay is an outlier with pre-damming sediments only 7.5 cm deep), and sediments in all basins are predominantly inorganic (> 70% dry weight) and secondarily organic matter (typically 10-20% dry weight).

    ANNUAL 2019/20 2019/20 REPORT BOOZHOO NDINAWEMAAGANIDOK, We all have wisdom. We all have questions. We do not always think we also hold the answers, but we do. The board meets monthly to represent our member communities and bring the experience and the knowledge held by all of you, our relatives, to the table. As you read this annual report, I hope you will see opportunities to access all of the services that can support you and your family right in your own community. Going forward, I hope you will share your experience and help us continue to build wholistic, generous and heart-centred primary healthcare services as part of a healthcare system that connects all of us. Our health needs are as different as our communities. This means that each of our stories is important. Tell us what you have learned to support your family and what your relationship with your own health has taught you. We can all learn from each other. The dream that brought Waasegiizhig Nanaandawe’iyewigamig into being over two decades ago still guides us. And, while we are passing through yet another time of uncertainty, we know the way. In addition to proudly celebrating our successes, we will help our region build a more inclusive and innovative culture of health and healing. Ownership of our own healthcare system is the collective vision that guided us to this point. It remains an essential principle as we shape the decisions for our health going forward. Initiatives like the “Our Health Counts” project, and the many ways that the WNHAC staff engages us as owners and clients give us very real and ongoing opportunities to get involved.
