The Sault Ste. Marie Tribe stocked nearly 550,000 fish in Michigan, boosting walleye and whitefish populations for ecological and cultural recovery.
The Sault Ste.
Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians completed its annual fish stocking, releasing about 437,700 walleye fingerlings and 109,800 whitefish into lakes and bays across Michigan’s Upper and Lower Peninsulas.
This year’s whitefish count nearly doubled the 2024 total, thanks to a partnership with the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians and The Nature Conservancy.
The tribe’s hatchery, active for nearly 30 years, has now stocked over 20.5 million walleye since 1995 and is a rare North American success in pond-raising whitefish.
The effort supports ecological recovery and economic benefits for sport and commercial fisheries, particularly amid threats from invasive species.
Tribal Chairman Austin Lowes highlighted the cultural significance of the program as part of ancestral stewardship.
