This WTIP original feature brings you the voices of regional artists as a way to document how local musicians are facing life’s challenges through creating music in places that are meaningful to them. Music in the Weeds is supported in part by the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

When the U.S. Coast Guard left Grand Marais in 2022, a huge safety gap opened on Lake Superior. The Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa stepped up to fill it — creating the first Indigenous-led coast guard in the nation. The first boat is named “Genawaaboonagak,” an Ojibwe word that means “Watchers Over the Water.” WTIP spoke with Dr. Seth Moore, Director of Natural Resources, and Ruth Vogel, Emergency Manager at Grand Portage about their new aquatic emergency response capabilities. Produced by Chuck Olsen. Read more: https://wtip.org/grand-portage-band-launches-first-indigenous-led-coast-guard-on-lake-superior/
