	The Brule River Power Plant is a large, eight-story brick building that was opened in 1902 by the Porter Light & Rail Company on the titular Brule River. The plant was decommissioned in 1969 as Devilfish phased out coal power in favor of nuclear with the opening of the station on Blueberry Island, and currently the building is in a state of disrepair. The degradation of asbestos used in pipe insulation and heat-resistant cement has led to the building being declared unsafe, but its status as a historical site and the cost of demolition has kept it standing.

	While most of the tribal lands were annexed during the city’s copper boom, a ~~few square miles~~ of ~~Native land occupy~~ the ~~northeastern chunk~~ of the ~~region~~. ~~They operate~~ a ~~fairly~~-~~successful casino~~.		The Grand Portage Indian Reservation (Ojibwe language: Gichi-onigamiing) is the Indian reservation of the Grand Portage Band of Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, a federally recognized tribe in Minnesota.

			While most of the tribal lands were annexed during the city’s copper boom, The reservation is located near the tip of Minnesota's Arrowhead Region in the extreme northeast part of the state. Historically, the community was considered part of the Lake Superior Band of Chippewa but is not a party to the treaties that group signed. The reservation was established as part of the 1854 Treaty of La Pointe.

			The community operates a casino, the Grand Portage Lodge and Casino. The Grand Portage National Monument is located on the reservation and managed by the National Park Service. The site includes a reconstructed trading post which is authentic for the 18th century.

			In 2000, Minnesota returned ownership of the 300-acre (1.2 km2) Grand Portage State Park to the Chippewa Band, which was lost more than 50 years ago in a tax forfeiture. In a unique arrangement in the state, this is the only state park to be managed jointly by the state and an American Indian band. The park includes a 120-foot high waterfall, which has been a landmark for centuries. The band employs its members as staff of the park.
