LEELANAU HISTORY
LEELANAU HISTORY
Members of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians will head to the polls next month to decide whether to decriminalize marijuana use and possession on tribal lands in Leelanau County and elsewhere. On June 11, adult tribal members residing in the tribe’s six-county service area in northwest lower Michigan will be eligible to vote in a referendum to amend a provision of the Grand Traverse Band (GTB) Criminal Code that currently outlaws marijuana entirely. *** Lake Michigan water levels climbed nine inches in the last month, jeopardizing the integrity of a Leelanau icon.Fishtown is in danger, causing the Fishtown Preservation Society (FPS) to embark on a $1.6 million fundraising campaign to rebuild and heighten its weather- worn fishing village that lines the Leland River. Two chunks of docks have already split away from buildings the society owns along the river’s south bank, and swirling water that continues to rise threatens to destabilize pilings that serve as the foundation for the registered Michigan State Historic Site. 05/08/2024 04:54 PM
