Ojibwe Market Construction Update
This is a historic event for our Members and for the region. Building a new retail center in Lac du Flambeau is another step in our Tribe continuing to invest in the future. For those who may not know our culture, we believe in making decisions based on how those decisions may impact our Members seven generations from today. With that in mind, we see this new retail center as a way to create jobs and provide a local shopping experience for all who live, work and play in Lac du Flambeau.
We will continue to update this page with news about the new center
