Lake Superior

The Great Lakes are one of the largest freshwater systems in the world, and Lake Superior is the largest and the deepest of the five lakes. But in 2007, water levels almost reached a record low, causing unease and uncertainty among the local population. Due to the decline of the water levels, it is evident that Canada should invest more funds into improving the Great Lakes system, as there is much more Canada can and should do to lessen economic and environmental impacts. First, Canada’s current

Century, Wisconsin is losing that right due to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. Walker is a big proponent for a mine in the Penokee Hills. The Penokee Hills are located in Northern Wisconsin, in Iron County, just south of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe Reservation. This mine would have been an iron mine, one of the world’s largest open pit mine. The problem with this mine is it would have destroyed most of the Penokee Hills, the environment around it, and polluted everything around it

Allouez, a missionary from France. In Allouez's report, the Native Americans in the Lake Superior area, known as the Chippewa's, really valued the copper nuggets they found there. The Upper Peninsula was soon to erupt into the center for the mining industry (Molloy, 1999). When American miners started to migrate to the Copper Country in the 1840s, there were many pieces and nuggets of copper that were left behind in the lake and streams by the

Examination of “The History of the Ojibway People” by William W. Warren The goal of this paper is to provide an examination of the book “The History of the Ojibway People” by William W. Warren as well as express some of what I learned about the book, the author and the Ojibway people. William W. Warren, born of a white father and Ojibway mother, used his fluent familiarity with the Ojibway language and his tremendous popularity with both whites and Indians to document the traditions and oral statements

Frozen Custard on the shores of Lake Superior in Grand Marais is my favorite place to be. I have been blessed with countless experiences of travel from touring Italy, snorkeling the Mexican coasts, surfing the Dominican waves, exploring the land of Ethiopia, and even inhaling the fresh air of the Netherlands, but no adventure of mine has lived up to the relaxing Grand Marais atmosphere. The tradition dates back to 2005, the first time I experienced the crisp Lake Superior air. My family pained through

people from the “world below” to move into the region “In 1855, the last supply ship of the year bound for Ontonagon has to cut its voyage short to escape oncoming winter”(12). Not only did the winter 's hold up travel but the severe storms in Lake Superior often lead to death. The

Frankenmuth is located in Saginaw County, Michigan. It is actually located within a township of the same name, but it is politically independent and self-sustained. Frankenmuth is one of the largest tourist attractions in Michigan simply because of all the things a person can do there. It has shops, historical significance and much more.

I have noticed that there is a lot of Sea Lampreys in Lake Superior. I live in the Duluth area and I love to fish. Being a concerned resident of the area I would like to see less Sea Lampreys in the lake. I think cutting the Sea Lampreys population to little or none will help out all of the fish in the area and will also bring a lot more fishermen to the lake. I hope that you can agree with me and I hope that we can come to an agreement on how to stop the Sea Lampreys from killing all of the other

Lake Superior The cold soft sand in between my toes feel unique as I walk down the beach. The crisp air came off the lake as if it were an air conditioner blowing in my face. The sky is half full of clouds, as they pass the sun my arms fill up with goosebumps. The chill goes through my body like an electrical shock. When the sun is not covered by the puffy cotton candy clouds, there is a heat sensation on the top of my head indicating that it is midday. Although my prediction of the time is
