                                                                                 Harsh growing conditions confer an individuality on trees that commands our attention.  Dune-grown cedars absorb enough wind-blown sand in their bark to stand up to crosscut saws, and those that hold the riverbank must withstand spring floods and ice-jams or become sweepers. This northern white cedar was, at most, twenty feet tall, but has clearly held onto its rocky promontory on a storm-whipped island off the Keweenaw Peninsula for centuries.

Witch Tree I Embellished by Honeybees

Atop a headland, near the harbor of Grande Portage in Minnesota, stands an ancient cedar. Eighteenth century French voyageurs used the al- ready old and remarkable tree as a landmark, leading them to the nine mile long “Grande Portage” around the rapids and water falls of the Pigeon River, and into the fur trading routes of the interior. Known popularly as the Witch Tree, the residents of the Grande Portage reservation call it Ma-ni-doo Gee-zhi-gance, which in Ojibway (or Anish- naabemowin), means Little Mystery (Sacred) Cedar. The tree, growing out of solid rock and receiving little nutrient from its surroundings, has never grown large, yet it is highly esteemed. There is no trail head, parking lot, kiosks, refreshment stands, interpre- tive signage, guard rail or list of rules and hours of access yet all the nearby bushes are fes- tooned with hundreds of calico cloth wrapped prayer bundles, containing tobacco offerings.
