Sacred Land Back

In May we visited the Oshki Ikwewag Ojibwe women’s farm on Madeline Island in Lake Superior. While in Wisconsin we participated in a productive summit with other Indigenous land protectors hosted by Akiing, a community development initiative focused on restoring the Anishinaabe economy, and Winona LaDuke.
The island is named for Madeline Cadotte, an Ojibwe woman who lived there in the 19th century. The original Anishinaabe name for the island is Mooningwanekaanling, in reference to the flicker, a bird that continues to thrive there unlike many Anishinaabe who have been dispossessed of their ancestral lands.
