Everything in the sky is part of the water. The lake is a mirror of endless sky, but unlike the sky the land has borders. In Minnesota, we call it “the Boundary Waters,” otherwise known as Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA or BWCAW). BWCA contains one million acres of protected land and water in Minnesota along the Canadian border. Nearly half a million of its acres are water. The sky and the water become each other and are separated only by the horizon of Canada’s boreal forest. The BWCA sits within a 3.9-million-acre area of Superior National Forest’s northernmost woods. Thousands of lakes, as if splattered, make mirrors across the land. Ten thousand fragments splinter from its mother, Lake Superior. She is one of five of the Great Lakes, the largest interconnected freshwater system of lakes in the world. Movements and laws strive to protect wilderness, only because it continues to be destroyed.
Many wilderness areas were once inhabited. The BWCA is the homeland of the Anishinaabe people. Wilderness is defined as uncultivated, uninhabited, and free of significant human impact, but wilderness is a cultural concept. If we are not of nature, then we must be separate from it.
