A Wilderness Act

What does “wilderness” mean to you? Guided by the wisdom of college professor Evan Larson and Anishinabe student Melonee Montano, we learn how the very definitions penned to protect our country’s most precious landscapes can destroy them instead. United by their desire to preserve the Red Pine forests of Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area, the two join together to educate upcoming generations on how returning fire to the land, and returning the land to its people, can be healing for all.
