University of Minnesota, Fond du Lac Band move forward together on historic Cloquet Forestry Center land return

In a milestone moment for collaboration and reconciliation, the University of Minnesota and the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa are moving forward with the return of the Cloquet Forestry Center land, wholly located within the Fond du Lac Reservation. The effort is enabled by provisions in the state bonding bill approved by the Minnesota Legislature and signed into law by Governor Walz in a ceremony this morning attended by University of Minnesota President Rebecca Cunningham and Fond du Lac Tribal Chairman Bruce M. Savage.
