It all began in November of 1927. The founding members of the Naniboujou Holding Company formed an exclusive club on the northwestern banks of Lake Superior. The club was surrounded by magnificent, densely-forested land providing endless hunting possibilities. The area was filled with bountiful, clear lakes, truly a fisherman’s dream. The founders had the right idea. It was their dream, “To live and learn . . . why the raspberry follows the fireweed: … the ways of the kingbird . . . and the home life of the beaver.”
The Naniboujou Club Lodge is on the National Register of Historic Places. Design elements include architectural features such as polygonal towers and a 200-short-ton native rock fireplace about 12 feet high. Inset above the hearth is a native welcome symbol in the shape of a sunburst, made of the same water-rounded stone used in the fireplace. The chamber’s walls and ceilings were painted by the French artist Antoine Gouffee with other native-inspired designs, and have been called a “psychedelic marriage of Art Deco and traditional Cree Indian patterns”
