During late March members of the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa locked themselves in a tribal center for at least 14 hours, refusing to come out until federal officials agreed to investigate allegations of corruption among tribal leaders.Protesters then kindled a fire across from the LDF casino to continue to bring attention to their allegations of financial mismanagement.
Across the street from the LDF tribal offices there now stands a lodge and camp that tribal authorities authorized police to remove from tribal property across from the casino. On April 28th the LDF tribal council passed a resolution to remove the structure because of health and safety reasons and complaints of use of alcohol and loud drumming.
