Spirit Mountain - A DPPA Public-Policy Project Few controversies in Duluth’s history can rival Spirit Mountain for poor public policy. For that reason, DPPA has continued to support the effort to bring greater public input to this issue. If you’re interested in getting involved, here are a couple of ideas for you: Contribute financially by mailing your check to the Spirit Mountain Legal Defense Fund, c/o Nancy Nelson, 1001 North 10th Ave. E. Duluth, MN 55805. Send this letter to the National Park Service: To: Mr. Bob Anderson, Grants Program Leader National Park Service 1709 Jackson Omaha, Nebraska 68102 Mr. Anderson, I respectfully ask you to enter this letter into your considerations pertaining to the proposed golf course in Duluth, MN, on public lands at the Spirit Mountain Recreation Area. I understand that the final recommendation on the project rests with you. I support the preservation of the area in its current state, with a potential future use as an educational, scientific, and natural area. I support the position of the American Indian Tribes who have formally identified the area as sacred and significant to multiple tribes in MN, WI, MI, ND, SD, and Canada. I oppose a privately owned golf course on public land. I oppose the land swap proposed to repay the LAWCON violations. I support due and legal process in all stages of these considerations. If, in your examination of this project, you find at any stage that the public or the Indian people were not appropriately considered, that you do so at this time. Thank you for your time and effort on this project.
