Approaching Lake Superior’s Outer Island, the most remote of the 21 Apostle Islands and some 20+ miles from the Bayfield Peninsula mainland.

Parked on Moningwunakauning
Madeline Island is the largest of the 22 Lake Superior islands at the tip of the Bayfield Peninsula but not part of the Apostle Island National Park designated 50 years ago.
An acknowledgment on the National Park Service website:
“This area named the Apostle Islands is home for some of the Ojibwe people who live throughout the Great Lakes. According to their written and oral history, the Ojibwe were the original inhabitants of this area. In order to gain the materials they needed to survive, they traveled throughout the islands with their main village being Madeline Island, which is known as Moningwunakauning: "Home of the yellow breasted woodpecker."

First day of school. Minnehaha Academy, a private school and one of the only schools in Minneapolis to open their doors for in-person classroom learning this school.
While on assignment for @nytmag / ‘The Lost Year’. Please read the cover story and how they’ve convened five experts for a vital discussion on the “lasting impact of this extended and unprecedented period of upended education.” Kind thanks to @shannonsimon and @bigbabygenius.
