Tribe to Enforce Trespassing Laws on Tribal Roads
The Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians will begin issuing citations for trespassing amid a dispute over unauthorized use of Annie Sun Lane, Center Sugarbush Lane, East Ross Allen Lake Road, and Else Lake Lane. The Tribal Council stated this decision upholds sovereignty and enforces laws protecting the Reservation.
Despite efforts to negotiate agreements with the Town of Lac du Flambeau, limited progress has left the Tribe with no choice but to take action.
