Description:
In Cass Lake, a reservation town in Northern Minnesota, 1,031 seedlings were planted representing approximately one tree per resident. The planting itself took place over a one-week period in late May 1997. Residents themselves determined where the trees were sited -- on their own property as well as on public land -- and were actively involved in the planting as well. In conjunction with the 1997 show "Joseph Beuys Multiples" at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. Project was coordinated by independent curator Todd Bockley with support from the Visual Arts Department, as well as the Education Department's Teen Programs and Community Programs.
