Wisconsin tribe to ticket for road use

The Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians will begin ticketing motorists for trespassing on four roads within its reservation following a federal ruling that limits the tribe’s ability to restrict access. The dispute involves non-Native homeowners and the town of Lac du Flambeau, which claim easement rights. The tribe says the move is necessary to uphold sovereignty and protect its land. Multiple lawsuits over the roads remain pending in federal court.
