Lac du Flambeau protesters' fire extinguished by police

By Nick Vander Puy
Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin (SBN/NFIC)

A lodge and fire set up by Lac du Flambeau tribal members to protest the current administration and demand accountability was torn down and bulldozed the evening of May 2nd, as proponents and opponents jeered and cheered nearby. The area of the lodge was secured by police officers during late afternoon, yellow crime scene tape was then placed around the scene and around 6pm a front end loader extinguished the fire.

Some 50 law enforcement officers from eight different counties converged on the LDF Ojibwe Reservation to enforce a resolution passed by the LDF tribal council on April 28th against the protesters lodge and fire based on alleged health and safety violations.
