The Nature Conservancy has offered Susie Island to the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa.

The 142-acre island is the heart of the Susie Island chain. It is located about one mile offshore and near other islands presently owned by the band.

The offering of the island was presented to the Cook County Board of Commissioners during a public meeting March 8. All five of the commissioners voiced their support for the band to again take ownership of Susie Island.
