“We Make A Bridge”

Photo: Star, local FDL student

Problem: Land once owned by the Fond du Lac band of Ojibwe was taken during the 1862 Land Grant Institution and given to the University of Minnesota in 1909 to start the Cloquet Forestry Center.

This move created both physical, and cultural barriers between the local Band and the landscape that they once held dear.

Problem: Land once owned by the Fond du Lac band of Ojibwe was taken during the 1862 Land Grant Institution and given to the University of Minnesota in 1909 to start the Cloquet Forestry Center.

This move created both physical, and cultural barriers between the local Band and the landscape that they once held dear.

Because of this, the project “We Make A Bridge� becomes one of extreme cultural significance.

Mission: To physically, and culturally “bridge” the Fond du Lac Band and the Cloquet Forestry Center.

Mission:

Vision:

To physically, and culturally “bridge� the Fond du Lac Band and the Cloquet Forestry Center.

By programing a shared trail that can lead to cross cultural interactions, education, and understanding between the two groups.

Mission:

Vision:

To physically, and culturally “bridge� the Fond du Lac Band and the Cloquet Forestry Center.

By programing a shared trail that can lead to cross cultural interactions, education, and understanding between the two groups.

Guiding Principles

2)Create transparency from the Cloquet Forestry Center and their practices.

3)Design diverse and interesting moments along the trail for all types of users.
