On Nov. 26, the Lake Superior Band of Chippewa hosted members of the University of Hawai’i Maui College to share knowledge on proper deer harvesting, tanning, and cultural practices. This exchange, led by Tribal Elder Wayne Valliere, repaid a favor to Ikaika Nakahashi, an ethnobotany lecturer, for annually hosting University of Wisconsin Stevens-Point students. The tribe’s deer management expertise will help Nakahashi and his colleagues educate islanders on turning the invasive axis deer—estimated at 20,000 to 60,000 on Maui—from an environmental threat into a valuable community resource.
