Red Cliff Ojibwe Oppose to Proposed Apostle Island Legislation

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.
