The Ojibwe people maintain usufruct rights on public lands, including the right to tap
sugar maples for syrup and sugar, in ceded territories of Wisconsin. Maple sugar plays an
invaluable spiritual and cultural role in the Ojibwe economy, and knowing the optimal locations
for sugarbush stands would allow the Ojibwe to further manage, develop, and utilize this
resource. Thus, we plan to conduct a site suitability analysis using climatic, habitat, and
socioeconomic factors to locate sugarbush sites in Ojibwe ceded territories of northern
Wisconsin.
