N. WISCONSIN - Northern Wisconsin is facing some of its most severe drought conditions on record. The U.S. Drought Monitor shows parts of Ashland, Bayfield, Douglas, Iron, and Sawyer counties in “exceptional drought,” its most severe category. It’s only the second time Wisconsin has reached that level since records began in 1999. About 15 percent of the state is in extreme drought, while 26 percent is in severe drought. Bayfield County also had its fourth-driest August on record. The drought conditions expected to make fall colors appear duller this year. Peak Color is expected October 4th through the 10th for much of our region.

Last weekend (Sept. 18-20), tribes, partners and DNR staff hosted the Intertribal Manoomin/Manōmaeh Camp at the North Lakeland Discovery Center in Manitowish Waters.

The camp included three full days of learning about and strengthening relationships with manoomin/manōmaeh, or wild rice, through traditional tool-making workshops, cooking demonstrations, food preservation, reseeding rice beds and harvesting and processing rice.

We really enjoyed being included in this event to further our knowledge on wild rice and share that with the public.

🧡 Join us this evening for our Orange Shirt Day event as we honor the Tribal children who never came home and remember the survivors, families, and communities affected by residential schools.

We hope you’ll gather with us in remembrance and support. Every child matters. 🧡

Anyone in LdF remember the old White Elephant Sales at the old grade school?

Good Health in Indian Country and my program are planning one for September 26, 2026, at the LdF Bingo Hall.

Stay tuned for what is going to be a great day of outreach and education regarding the healthy aspects of our traditional medicines, as well as the negative impact of commercial to***co. Not to mention the highly addictive qualities of vapes and the impact on our kids!
