On the Bay, May 17, Duluth Rowing Club Open House, 10am to noon
Everyone is invited to join Minnesota Point 50 (MP50), the Park Point Community Club, and more than 200 community members at the Turning Point Summit on Saturday, May 31, at the Park Point Beach House, in support of our collective resilience efforts for Minnesota Point. This event celebrates the many ways we experience Minnesota Point – a culturally, economically, and naturally important environment on the Great Lakes.
With more than 1 million visitors a year, Minnesota Point is annually cited as one of the top 25 beaches in the United States, and has a regional economic impact of over $1.6 billion, providing enormous ecological, economic, and social value to a large region of Lake Superior coastal area.
Yet it is fragile, too.
Lake Superior waters are warming, and water levels are more variable and currently dropping. Breakwaters built to protect shipping lanes at the north and south ends of the Point block the natural replenishment of sand and cobble, leaving Park Point Beach vulnerable to erosion, and violent storms in the past five years have torn away more than 10 feet of protective sand dunes. Loss or breach of Minnesota Point is unimaginable, yet could be its future without collaborative efforts across multiple partners to ensure its resilience.
MP50 is a community-led nonprofit established to shine a light on the ecological, cultural, and economic importance of Minnesota Point and to collaborate with partners, including the Park Point Community Club, in ensuring the long-term resilience of this national treasure. We envision a community that sustains its land, water, wildlife, infrastructure, and people for generations to come.
The Turning Point Summit is the kick-off for this effort. The day will begin at 10:00 a.m. with a welcome from Mayor Roger Reinert and an Opening Ceremony by Good Sky Guidance and will feature videos related to stewardship of Minnesota Point and speakers from the City, the DNR, and the Great Lakes Aquarium. In addition, local organizations and agencies will share their knowledge about the importance of Minnesota Point to our region. The full program is attached.
We warmly invite you to join us for the day to learn more about our collaborative efforts that will benefit Duluth, the region, and beyond.
We look forward to seeing you on the Point!
Sincerely,
Pat Sterner Dawn Buck
Board Chair President
Minnesota Point 50 Park Point Community Club
The Turning Point Summit is sponsored by a grant awarded to MP50 made through the Community Climate Implementation Fund housed at Climate Mayors – a project of Resources Legacy Fund.

Special thanks to James, Eleanor and to our neighbor Maureen for having us over for cookies, refreshments and good discussion time after the walk.

Park Point Red Dress Display in Solidarity with No More MMIWR by Lisa McKhann, presentation of project idea to PPCC, 3/18/25)
Read and learn more here from neighbors and advocates working together:
Though I have no personal connection with Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives (MMIWR), I have felt the visceral impact of encountering just one red dress, day after day, where it hung from a gatepost. It’s haunting. So, when I considered our unique geography here on Park Point, and our kind care for everyone in our greater community, this came to mind: The image of a river of red dresses, blowing in a spring breeze or taking on a May shower. Vehicles slowing to take them in, asking questions, and learning the troubling answers.
Background about MMIWR:The red dress or shirt is used in Canada and the U.S.as a symbol for Native American and First Nation lives lost to violence, often sexual violence. These garments represent the indigenous women, girls, and other relatives, who are missing or murdered at a vastly disproportionate rate to any other demographic. Minnesota, Wisconsin and Canada share this issue, geographically and culturally.
In 2022, a broad coalition created a local Award Fund to help move cases forward in the justice system. Alicia Kozlowski, now a Minnesota State Representative for Duluth’s District 8B, then spoke for the City of Duluth.:
“In Minnesota and Wisconsin, historical and contemporary forces intersect to make native women especially vulnerable to sexual violence. While native women are 1% of Minnesota’s female population, they are 8% of all missing and murdered women in the state. On any given month in Minnesota, there are between 27 and 54 native people who are missing.”
Historically there have been issues of jurisdiction for prosecutions on and off tribal lands, for charging native and non-native assailants; prejudice against the victims in police work and media reporting; prevalence of domestic violence and sex trafficking.
Kozlowski went on to say,
“This is a human issue, a community issue.
When one is dehumanized, we all are dehumanized.”
Long-time advocate Rene Ann Goodrich works with Native Lives Matter Coalition and No More MMIWR, among others, bringing justice and healing to families.
“There’s a history of trafficking in Twin Ports, connected to the land base. We are bringing awareness, education and action to address the epidemic of missing women, girls, and two spirits.”
Rene Ann says Visibility is key.
So come on Park Point. Let’s make good use of our unique geography and our caring concern. Help make our Five-Day Display.
Learnings from the Minnesota Indian Women’s Sexual Assault Coalition Conference
In light of the upcoming MMIWR awareness day and the initiative on Park Point, I want to take a minute to reflect on a conference that I attended where I was first exposed to MMIWR. The conference was hosted in 2022 by the Minnesota Indian Women’s Sexual Assault Coalition (MIWSAC), a statewide tribal coalition dedicated to ending sexual violence. Things hit home when all the conference-goers were gathered in a room and informed that the body of a young woman, Alexis Whitehawk Ruiz, who had disappeared from North Minneapolis late in 2022 had just been found in the Mississippi River. In the following days, I learned about the disappearance of Neveah Kingbird who was last seen in Bemidji (where the conference was being held) in the fall of 2021. I met Neveah’s cousins at the skatepark in Red Lake, talked to her relatives in the audience at the conference, and I heard her mother, Teddi, speak at length about her longing for her daughter and her tireless organizing to bring Neveah home. I heard the mother of Jeremy Jourdain, who went missing from Bemidji as a teenager in 2016, express her rage that six years had passed and she still had no answers as to the whereabouts of her son. Something switched in my thinking: this isn’t just a trend that becomes apparent if you pay attention to data; it’s something current, ongoing, and incredibly real in people’s lives. The roots of this epidemic aren’t easy to contend with: sexual and domestic violence, hamstrung tribal prosecutorial authority, a long history of Native people being devalued and disbelieved, to name a few. There are glaring similarities between the way that the wider culture responds to the loss of Native lives and the way it handles the loss of Black and brown lives. The reflex is to somehow blame the individual, their character, and the culture that they’ve emerged from for their own death or disappearance. A former colleague of mine, in fact, the person who brought me to the MIWSAC conference, said that Black people die, in part, because of hypervisibility while Native people die from invisibility. This upcoming day of awareness is a way to, however briefly, push back against that invisibility. I urge everyone as neighbors to join together in doing that.
