The largest migration in human history is underway worldwide as people move from the countryside to urban centers. Rural communities must develop diverse economic strategies to find a sustainable path to development while both protecting their rural character and building resilience. This research focused on rural communities located on the shores of a unique and vast freshwater system of Lake Superior. The Lake Superior watershed is one of the largest freshwater systems in the world shared by tribes and First Nations across the three states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan and the Province of Ontario, Canada that must cooperate to maintain the health of Lake Superior that their lives and economies depend upon. Like countless countryside places across the globe, rural coastal communities of Lake Superior face depopulation, ongoing environmental degradation from extractive industries, and related failing economies. This dissertation is a report of an ethnographic study of resilience, adaptation, and transformation of livelihoods in rural coastal communities of Lake Superior. This research sought to answer: In what ways might rural Lake Superior coastal communities build social-ecological resilience by better linking livelihoods to rural landscape conservation and preservation? Results are interpreted as central themes and presented as photographs, example journal entries, stories, tables, and maps as illustrations of local knowledge systems. Findings are validated through triangulation based on existing theories and models as well as mixed methods approaches such as spatial analysis via social-ecological coupling and mapping.
