The St. Louis River Alliance invites community members to its May River Revival gathering, The Cultural Importance of Manoomin + Wisconsin Point Resiliency Study Updates, on Thursday, May 21 from 5–6:30 p.m. at the Superior Public Library.
River Revival is a free monthly series designed to connect people with the St. Louis River Estuary through learning, conversation, and hands-on experiences focused on restoration, culture, and community stewardship.
The evening begins with a brief overview from St. Louis River Alliance staff highlighting how community voices are helping shape restoration and recreation projects across the estuary.
Representatives from AMI Consulting Engineers will then share updates from the Wisconsin Point Resiliency Study. Come learn how changing lake levels, storms, and erosion are impacting the shoreline and what might be done to help Wisconsin Point adapt.
The featured presentation will be led by guest speakers from the 1854 Treaty Authority, who will share the cultural and ecological importance of manoomin (wild rice) and its deep connections to the plants, animals, waters, and people of the estuary. Participants will also have the opportunity to engage with hands-on learning experiences, including viewing harvesting tools and rice while learning about manoomin’s role in Indigenous lifeways and ecosystem health.
The event is free and open to all ages. Light snacks and beverages will be provided.
Community members are encouraged to attend, learn, connect, and become part of the ongoing story of the St. Louis River.
