Description: |
Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians: Home - The Band has inhabited the Lac du Flambeau area since 1745
when Chief Keeshkemun led the Band to the area. 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 Lac du Flambeau Reservation was officially established
by the Treaty of 1854. 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.
