U Minnesota Moves Forward to Return Land to Indigenous Community
The university recently supported the transfer of 3,400 acres of the Cloquet Forestry Center land, the primary research and education forest for the university, to the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. This action fulfills recommendations for the return of Indigenous lands from the TRUTH Project: Towards Recognition and University-Tribal Healing. Moving forward, the university will partner with the Fond du Lac Band to finalize agreements that create new opportunities to strengthen forestry and natural resources education, research and stewardship.
