What’s happening on the St. Louis River right now? Join us for our new River Revival event series, a monthly gathering to learn about the river, ongoing restoration at Wisconsin Point and Allouez Bay, and ways to connect with this special place.
Hosted the third Thursday of the month April-September, each event features engaging presentations from local partners and knowledge holders, along with hands-on creative activities, informal conversation, and opportunities to share your questions and perspectives.
APRIL RIVER REVIVAL | Anishinaabe Canoe Migration: Culture and Connection on the St. Louis River
Join us for our first River Revival on Thursday, April 16 from 5-6:30 p.m. at the Superior Public Library. Anishinaabe artist, educator, and community organizer Giizh Agaton Howes of Heart Berry will share about the ~11-mile inaugural Anishinaabe Canoe Migration she organized on the St. Louis River in 2025. Come hear from the paddlers who followed ancestral waterways from Chambers Grove to Woodstock Bay in an ongoing effort to reconnect community with the water. Members will share their perspective on the cultural importance of the St. Louis River and Wisconsin Point.
Following the presentation, participants are invited to create their own river-inspired artwork in a hands-on block printing activity (all materials provided). Wisconsin DNR staff will also be present to share updates on current restoration work at Wisconsin Point and Allouez Bay and answer questions.
