Lac Du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians

Lac Du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians The Band has inhabited the Lac du Flambeau area for countless generations.

The Band acquired the name Lac du Flambeau from its gathering practice of harvesting fish at night by torchlight. The name Lac du Flambeau, or Lake of the Torches, refers to this practice and was given to the Band by the French traders and trappers who visited the area. The Ojibwe call themselves Anishinabe (Original Man) and the place they live Waswaagoning (Place Where They Fish with Birch Bark

Torches). The Lac du Flambeau Reservation was officially established by treaties in 1837 and 1842. The area was continually logged in the following years and became a tourist destination for families from southern Wisconsin and Illinois around the turn of the century. Today the People of Waswaagoning continue centuries old traditions and hold fast to their cultural beliefs, while striving to incorporate the best of 21st century offerings into their daily lives.
