Red Cliff Ojibwe Oppose to Proposed Apostle Island Legislation

One of Wisconsin’s tribes doesn’t want to see the Apostle Islands turned into a national park.

The Red Cliff Ojibwe this week said they do not want to see the islands in Lake Superior turned into a park. The islands are just off the coast of the Red Cliff reservation, and tribal leaders say they are worried about the possible influx of visitors if the islands are declared a national park.

Northwoods Congressman Tom Tiffany is suggesting the islands be turned into a park specifically to draw more tourists to far northern Wisconsin. The tribe says it sent off a list of questions to the congressman, but wasn’t satisfied with the answers it got back.
