/ “As an area of great historical, cultural, and religious importance, you couldn’t point to something in the entire Great Lakes region that has more significance to the Anishinabek people [than the Straits of Mackinac],” says a tribal attorney.
The waters dividing Michigan’s Upper Peninsula from the rest of the state an area that was
mostly dry land several thousand years ago is a sacred place for many in the Great Lakes, and especially the Anishinaabek.
“It has been described by a noted ethnohistorian as the Garden of Eden of the Ojibwe people,” says Kathryn Tierney, the tribal attorney for the Bay Mills Indian Community.

During the 2021, budget process, I requested for a second time to place monies in the budget for cemetery restoration. Approximately 2.5-years, I raised this discussion to the board and it has been ignored until now. Uniquely, the board jumped on the action of restoration but what was to be restored? 13-14 cemeteries are under town control and maintenance, but nothing is identify for our public to acknowledge on our web pages, monuments, or litterateur that may interest individuals and families.
In August (2020), a controversial discussion took place between the supervisor and myself in reference to an engineering firm that has direct experience in such restoration which most likely involves the State Historic Preservation Office and the New York State Division of Cemeteries, while making claims that it would cost $100,000 when no such information supports such a claim.

Officials in the Iowa Department of Public Safety and the governor’s office decided during the summer of 2020 to install a permanent fence around the Terrace Hill mansion in Des Moines, records obtained by Bleeding Heartland show.
The documents don’t reveal, nor did state officials clarify, whether Governor Kim Reynolds or her staff pushed for added security around the governor’s official residence. The records also don’t explain the timing of the decision to move forward with a plan that had been floated years earlier, according to the agency responsible for protecting the governor.
