Lake Superior is a magnet for some, and it's not just the rich iron ore that draws so many to the shores. As Podcast Hosts Walt Lindala and Frida Waara explain, "it's more complicated than that." Walt, a veteran Upper Peninsula broadcaster, grew up in Chassell, MI. This "Copper Country" boy's roots run deep in the mining and Finnish heritage of the Keweenaw. Frida grew up in downstate Michigan near a Finnish community in Wixom. The members always talked with reverence about Lake Superior and shared their dreams of returning. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, you will meet the hosts and learn why they are so connected to the work of the National Parks of Lake Superior Foundation. The preservation of the greatest of the Great Lakes is their shared goal.
