The University of Minnesota is moving forward with its plan to return about 3,400 acres of land it has held for the last century back to the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Tribe. Since 1909, the land—entirely within the tribe’s boundaries— has been occupied by the university’s Cloquet Forestry Center, a research center with a stated goal to “build an understanding of northern forest ecosystems through field-based research, education, and outreach.” Last week, Fond du Lac Band tribal members, foresters, and community members from around the Cloquet and Carleton County area gathered to discuss the landback movement.
