SUMMARY:Mark Morgen - Building the Wood Canvas Canoe
DESCRIPTION:Mark Morgen and his wife Carol moved to the Grand Marais area 6 years ago after retiring from a 37-year career as an engineer for 3M Company. He has built over 20 canoes and kayaks\, as well as one sailboat. The next current project will probably be a tandem sea kayak. He enjoys camping and canoeing and is learning to sail. Morgen also has a part-time summer job with an outfitter\, running the tow boat on Sag. \nThe wood canvas canoe was a direct offshoot of the Native American’s Birch Bark Canoe. In the early 1900s\, using modern (for the time) materials and leveraging the American public’s thirst for outdoor recreation\, several canoe companies began building wood canvas canoes on forms\, revolutionizing canoe building. This talk will primarily focus on wood canvas construction techniques and how they differ from bark canoe construction\, as well as more modern construction. \n  \n  \nAll presentations are family-friendly and free to the public.\n\n\n\n\nDonations are always appreciated. \n\nTake your time driving up the Gunflint Trail Scenic Byway!\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Mark Neuzil - Canoes: A Natural History in North America
DESCRIPTION:Mark Neuzil is a professor of journalism at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul. \nHe is the author\, co-author or editor of eight books\, almost all with environmental themes. A former wilderness guide and summer park ranger\, he is currently working on a collective biography of nature writers with a Minnesota connection. \nAncient records of canoes are found from the Pacific Northwest to the coast of Maine\, Minnesota\, and Mexico. If a person from those distant times might encounter a canoe of our day – whether birch bark or dugout or a modern carbon fiber marvel – its silhouette would be instantly recognizable. Mark Neuzil tells the story of that singular American artifact\, the canoe\, so little changed over time\, with such a strong connection to the Arrowhead Region. \nAll presentations are family-friendly and free to the public. \nDonations are always appreciated. Take your time driving up the Gunflint Trail Scenic Byway! \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Dark Sky Caravan - Seagull Lake Community Center
DESCRIPTION:University of Minnesota Duluth in partnership with the Gunflint Trail Historical Society is bringing this experience to the end of the Gunflint Trail!! \nThe UMD is on a journey to celebrate and preserve Northeast Minnesota’s dark sky window to the universe. The journey will begin in Duluth on the 7th at the UMD planetarium and will end on August 12th in the footprint of the darkest night sky in the US east of the Mississippi. Each day we will travel to a new destination with telescopes\, where there will be free programming for all. \nYou can follow the caravan along as they make their way up the North Shore to Chik-Wauk Museum & Nature Center. \n8/7 – Duluth\n8/8 – Split Rock Lighthouse\n8/9 – Tettegouche State Park\n8/10 – Grand Marais – North House Folk School\n8/11 – Seagull Lake Community Center\n8/12 – Chik-Wauk \nOutside\, there will be telescopes set up and experts on hand for viewing the sun\, stars\, planets\, and moon. The journey will begin with the new moon and end on the first quarter moon\, giving visitors a chance to view the moon before and after sunset (weather permitting). This week is also the peak viewing time for the annual Perseid Meteor shower\, where we can anticipate 50-70 meteors per hour. \nIn the event of cloudy skies\, programming will be inside the facilities. \nWear long pants/sleeves. It may be summer\, but the temperature can cool down in the evenings\, and you’re not moving around very much while observing. Wear bug spray. It’s a good idea to protect yourself from mosquitoes and you’ll enjoy the time more if you’re not having to swat away bugs. But please do not spray bug spray near the telescopes. Apply it beforehand or briefly walk away from the telescopes to spray. \nYou can learn more about this event by going to https://z.umn.edu/darkskycaravan

SUMMARY:Lonnie Dupre - Greenland Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:It has been 21 years since Lonnie Dupre and John Hoelscher completed the first and only circumnavigation of Greenland; a 6\,500-mile journey all non-motorized by dog team and kayak. In 2022 Dupre went back to NW Greenland to document through film the Polar Inuit culture. Traveling from village to village by dog team\, Dupre re-connected with his past polar Inuit friends to find out how their culture has changed because of climate change and modernization over the last two decades. \nThe Polar Inuit are unsung heroes of countless Arctic expeditions. Their ingenuity and innovation through trial and error and creative ways of improvising have always amazed Lonnie on past expeditions. The Polar Inuit people make it seem easy to live in a place\, that otherwise appears inhospitable to us. Traditions that have been passed on for thousands of years; by dressing in furs and by forming a symbiosis with their sled dogs\, they managed to live off the land\, completely in tune with their environment of ice and snow. These people are not run by a clock; they do things when the time seems right. People are seen as equal; no person should be perceived as better than another. \nI was shocked at how drastically global warming has affected the land and culture. Permafrost melting is undermining the foundations of houses\, and ice caps\, and glaciers have receded so much that new maps are required to identify the distorted coastline. Sea ice in the Inglefield Fjord that was once 7 feet thick in mid-winter is now 18 inches. At this current rate of melting\, the fjord will be ice-free in 7 to 10 years. In the mountainous and ice cap terrain\, the Inuit rely on sea ice to travel between villages and for hunting. Once the ice is gone\, the Inuit will become landlocked\, held prisoners in their own villages unable to travel for 8 months out of the year. Western advancement and Technology are also tugging at and slowly unraveling the culture. Bigger boats with motors\, snow machines taking place of sled dogs\, modern clothing replacing furs\, and Facebook and smartphones consuming time. \nA 45-minute documentary called ‘Amka’ (the Inuktun word for ‘one with friendly spirit’) will be released next fall. The film is aimed at conveying the fragility of Greenland\, and the humble people that carved out special lives in a land of snow and ice. \nFor more information and updates: www.LonnieDupre.com \nLonnie’s accomplishments:\n• 1991 – Completed the first west-to-east\, 3\,000-mile winter crossing of Canada’s famed Northwest Passage by dog team.\n• 2001 – Achieved the first and only circumnavigation of Greenland\, a 6\,500 mile\, all nonmotorized journey by kayak and dog team.\n• 2006 & 2009 – Pulled sleds on skis from Canada to the North Pole twice achieving over 23 million impressions worldwide on issues surrounding climate change.\n• 2015 – Accomplished the first solo winter ascent of Alaska’s Mount Denali (20\,340ft.) in the month of January. \nThe presentation will take place at the Seagull Lake Community Center\, 7 Seagull Lake Access Road\, Grand Marais\, MN  55604\n\n\nAll presentations are family-friendly and free to the public.\n\n\nDonations are always appreciated. Take your time driving up the Gunflint Trail Scenic Byway!\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Timothy Cochrane – Making the Carry: The Lives of John and Tchi-Ki-Wis Linklater
DESCRIPTION: \nTimothy Cochrane is the author of A Good Boat Speaks for Itself\, Minong – The Good Place: Ojibwe and Isle Royale\, and Gichi Bitobig\, Grand Maris. \nHe has worked as a fire lookout\, backcountry ranger\, historical\, anthropologist\, and superintendent for the National Park Service in Minnesota\, Alaska\, and at Isle Royales\, Michigan. \nTim has had the good fortune to work extensively with Native American nations\, most recently with the Grand Portage Band of the Lake Superior Chippewa Tribe. \nTim plans on reading highlights from his recently published book. He will talk about the connections of the Linklaters with other Anishinaabe people living along the border lakes. The Linklaters lived on Basswood Lake for most of their adult lives. They lived in a period of great change in the north such as the cutting of white pine\, the creation of conservation units and reserves in Canada escalation in mining\, etc. John Linklater was born in 1870 and died in 1933. Tchi-Ki-Wis Linklater of Lac La Croix first nation was born c. 1873 and died 1934. \n  \n \nHis new book will be available to purchase at the presentation and he will be happy to autograph them. \nAll presentations are family-friendly and free to the public.\nDonations are always appreciated.

SUMMARY:Sam Zimmerman\, Following My Spirit Home – Sharing the Story
DESCRIPTION:Sam\, will share the story that leads to his writing “Following My Spirit Home”\, his stories on Ojibwe Culture\, Nature Conservation\, storytelling\, and painting. \nSam Zimmerman began to participate in juried and solo exhibitions in 2000 after immediately receiving his BFA in Studio Art from the Rochester Institute of Technology. His painting became a part-time activity while he worked as Special Education and school administrator for the past 18 years.  With a recent exploration of the Alaskan frontier and northern Canada\, he rededicated himself to painting with a ferocity that had been absent since his earlier studio days\, completing an entirely new body of work over the last two years. \nWith his relocation from the East Coast to Duluth\, his work focuses on exploring his Ojibwe heritage primarily preserving shared oral histories and reimagining the symbolism of the clan animals while incorporating the natural landscape of Lake Superior’s North Shore. His work is infused with the color theories of the abstract and expressionism movements and is currently in private collections both in the United States and abroad. Sam focuses on continuing the Anishinaabe tradition of storytelling while also focusing on the theme of environmental stewardship of the North Shore. \nHis work can currently be viewed at Lizzards and AICHO – Indigenous First galleries in Duluth\, MN\, and Superior Finds in Two Harbors\, Joy and Company in Grand Marais\, and the Chik-Wauk Campus. To follow his studio projects and current creations\, visit Instagram at CraneSuperior. \nAll presentations are family-friendly and free to the public. Donations are always appreciated.

SUMMARY:Evan Larson & Lane Johnson - Reconsidering Fire in the BWCAW
DESCRIPTION:The BWCAW is a place known and loved by many. The connection that many people feel to the waters and forests of this Border Lakes wilderness help to make it the perfect place to help us contemplate the long-term relationships among people and fire in the Great Lakes Region\, and how notions of Wilderness as untrammeled and unpeopled have created significant challenges to the diversity and resiliency of this place. \nIn this presentation\, Evan & Lane will share how a network of tree-ring data and decades of archaeological work that span the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness have been contextualized with the rich cultural history and body of Indigenous Knowledge\, also referred to as Traditional Ecological Knowledge\, carried by Anishinaabeg communities connected to this landscape to offer a transformative perspective on the role of people in actively shaping what is often thought of as a pristine place. \nTranslating the implications of this work to the Upper Great Lakes Region as a whole helps identify opportunities for informing land stewardship and shared management of diverse socio-ecological systems in a time of dramatic climate and cultural change. \nEvan Larson is a father\, husband\, teacher\, scientist\, and enthusiast of wild places. His formal education includes an Environmental Science bachelor’s degree from Willamette University\, degrees in geography from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville (M.S.) and the University of Minnesota (Ph.D.)\, and a Faculty Fulbright fellowship to Mid Sweden University in Sundsvall. Less formally\, Evan’s philosophy of life has been informed by significant doses of reflection\, books\, chainsaws\, and firewood. Evan has 21 years of experience using tree rings to investigate the environmental history and is currently focused on the interwoven relationships among people\, fire\, and pine in Great Lakes Forests. Evan works as a Professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences & Society at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. \nLane Johnson is part of the forest management and research group at the University of Minnesota Cloquet Forestry Center (CFC) within the Fond du Lac Reservation of Lake Superior Ojibwe. As a historical ecologist and geographer\, Lane uses tree-ring records and other historical information to better understand the fire ecology of native plant communities in the Upper Great Lakes region and inform fire restoration efforts. Before joining the CFC in the Autumn of 2017\, Lane worked for the U.S. Geological Survey’s New Mexico Landscapes Field Station in Santa Fe as a fire history projects field lead. Prior to that\, Lane was a project co-leader investigating the historical drivers of surface fire regimes in the red pine forests of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness\, a continuation of his graduate research with the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. He happily resides in Duluth. \nAll presentations are family-friendly and free to the public. \nDonations are always appreciated.

SUMMARY:Neil Sherman - 16 years of Plein Air Painting the Gunflint Trail
DESCRIPTION:Painter of the North \nSunday\, June 18 – Join Neil Sherman as he presents his slideshow that has captured his 16 years of Plein Air Painting on the Gunflint Trail. \nWhat I strive to capture in my paintings is the feeling of a particular day. Each day is different\, especially on the north shore of Lake Superior where\, often\, every couple of hours can be different. Those days or hours may never be repeated again\, so capturing the essence is important so that people who have known those days and hours can remember them and others who have not known can be transported there via the painting. \nMy particular method of painting has roots that date back to the Impressionist era. American painter Frank Vincent DuMond studied painting in France in the late 1890s and early 1900s and then taught painting at the Arts Students League in New York City. He developed a palette that has become affectionately known as the “prismatic palette” which is geared toward allowing subtle control of color and value in a landscape. This palette has been passed down through such painters as Arthur Maynard\, John Phillip Osborne\, and Joe Paquet\, who in turn taught it to me. \nA majority of my works are painted on location and\, if needed\, are “tweaked” back in the studio. Tweaking involves making adjustments to different aspects of the painting such as color\, value\, shape\, tone\, etc. or adding small elements that further engage the viewer beyond the initial impact of the painting. Often\, one of those paintings will be used to create a larger studio painting. \nYou can view more about Neil Sherman and his studio here. \nThis presentation is supported by a Rural Leadership Boost Grant from the Blandin Foundation. \nAll presentations are family-friendly and free to the public. \nDonations are always appreciated. Take your time driving up the Gunflint Trail Scenic Byway! \n \n

SUMMARY:Artist-in-Residency Program - Meet & Greet Jack Dant
DESCRIPTION:The Gunflint Trail Historical Society is pleased to announce the launch of a new Artist in Residency Program and the selection of Jack Dant as the first visiting artist. \nIn 2022 a small task force was formed to explore the possibility of “An Artist in Residency Program on the Gunflint Trail” inspired by similar programming in our National Parks and The Science Museum of Minnesota\, as well as many other organizations. Kim Dayton\, Kim Gordon\, Bill Douglas\, and Rene Block explored the possibility of starting such a program. It seemed to all that an “Artist in Residency” was a perfect match for the Mission\, Vision\, and Purpose of the Gunflint Trail Historical Society. \nJack Dant is a St. Paul\, Minnesota painter/sculptor whose painting subjects range from landscape and still life to portraits and figures. He is drawn primarily to realism in the style of the American Impressionists however\, his technique and style continue to evolve. Jack enjoys painting outside on location (plein air) as well as painting in his studio. He has studied Flemish techniques in still life and portraits with Jeff Hurinenko and spent many years studying landscape painting with Joe Paquet\, using direct painting methods and the prismatic palette. \nJack has painted on the Gunflint Trail previously but not for an extended amount of time. He is enthusiastic about the prospect of an extended period to focus on the landscape possibilities of the Gunflint Trail community. \nJack will be at the Seagull Community Center (7 Seagull Lake Access Road) to speak about his experiences painting on the Gunflint Trail and about how he works outdoors and his artistic process as a Plein Air Painter. \n

SUMMARY:CANCELED!!!  Following My Spirit Home - Sharing the Story with Sam Zimmerman
DESCRIPTION:Sam\, will share the story that lead to writing “Following My Spirit Home”\, his stories on Ojibwe Culture\,  Nature Conservation\, storytelling\, and painting. \nSam Zimmerman began to participate in juried and solo exhibitions in 2000 after immediately receiving his BFA in Studio Art from the Rochester Institute of Technology. His painting became a part-time activity while he worked as Special Education and school administrator for the past 18 years.  With a recent exploration of the Alaskan frontier and northern Canada\, he rededicated himself to painting with a ferocity that had been absent since his earlier studio days\, completing an entirely new body of work over the last two years. \nWith his relocation from the East Coast to Duluth\, his work focuses on exploring his Ojibwe heritage primarily preserving shared oral histories and reimagining the symbolism of the clan animals while incorporating the natural landscape of Lake Superior’s North Shore. His work is infused with the color theories of the abstract and expressionism movements and is currently in private collections both in the United States and abroad. Sam focuses on continuing the Anishinabee tradition of storytelling while also focusing on the theme of environmental stewardship of the North Shore. \nHis work can currently be viewed at Lizzards and AICHO – Indigenous First galleries in Duluth\, MN and Superior Finds in Two Harbors\,  and Joy and Company in Grand Marais. To follow his studio projects and current creations\, visit Instagram at CraneSuperior. \nAll presentations are family-friendly and free to the public.\n\nDonations are always appreciated.Take your time driving up the Gunflint Trail\, and enjoy the scenery!\n\n

SUMMARY:September GTHS - Membership Meeting\, Learn about the Soderberg Family
DESCRIPTION:Held at the A. Paul & Carol Schaap Community Center \nThe meeting begins promptly at 1:30 p.m. with a brief overview of GTHS business. Following the business meeting\, Joyce Leddy will speak about her family and growing up on the Gunflint Trail. \n The Soderberg Family  – Early days on the Gunflint Trail 1920s–1960s. \n \nMy mother Eva Soderberg Cleaver and her 2 older brothers\, Carl and Floyd Soderberg\, grew up in Sandstone\, MN\, but spent most of their lives having a love affair with the Gunflint Trail.  During the 1920’s\, there was a financial depression in the United States\, and a young Carl and Floyd chose to spend the winter in a trapper’s cabin near Durfee Creek rather than become a burden to their parents.  Both were rugged and loved hunting\, cross-country skiing\, trapping\, and ice-fishing.  To them this was not a hardship.  At the end of that winter\, they vowed to return and live full time on the Gunflint Trail\, and later enticed my mother to have that dream as well! \nDuring the 1930’s\, Carl\, Floyd\, and my parents often camped on Flour and West Bearskin Lakes. In fact\, my mother was camping on Flour Lake in 1940\, about 8 weeks before I was born.  During WWII\, Carl was able to purchase land on Poplar Lake and built “Soderberg Cabins.” Although most of the structures are gone today\, my cousin Carlene has shared many great stories with me about the fun and hardship about those years. In about 1945\, my Uncle Floyd built the first cabin on Birch Lake which could only be accessed from the Old Gunflint Trail.  In fact\, when I was a 5-year-old child\, I watched that cabin being built. In 1963\, my parents George and Eva Soderberg Cleaver purchased Trail “Service “Center from George Flavell.  I believe my father was the first owner to add restaurant fare to the bar.  I still remember frying hamburgers in the kitchen! \nSince 1940\, I have witnessed many changes in Grand Marais and on the Gunflint Trail.  I feel so privileged to have lived on Birch Lake when it was still part of the wilderness\, and I’m grateful to have met many of the early Gunflint pioneers.  Today my husband Tom and I continue to follow the Soderberg dream and live at least 6 months a year on Birch Lake. \nTreats and conversation follow (thank you to the friends that provide the home-baked goodies each month). If you would like to bring some baked goodies or treats for the monthly meetings please contact Bonnie Schudy at 218-388-9915. \nThe Gunflint Trail Historical Society has four membership meetings available to all GTHS members. Membership meetings are held on the second Monday of June\, July\, August\, and September. \nThe meeting can be viewed by Zoom or in person at the community center; a Zoom link will be sent via email the day before the meeting.
