Tribal statutes and treaties
Three Native American reservations and other lands exist in the study area in Wisconsin, all of
which were established by treaty and agreements with the U.S. government in the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. The lands of the Bad River and Red Cliff Bands of Lake Superior Chippewa
were established by the 1854 treaty of La Pointe and the territories of the Forest County
Potawatomi Community of the Potawatomi were organized by the Indian Reorganization Act of
1934, although the community began acquiring the Forest County land as early as 1913
(http://witribes.wi.gov/docview.asp?docid=21285&locid=57; http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148

with the Indian Nations within its boundaries; EO #39, issued in 2004, established the State-
Tribal Consultation Initiative. “The goal of this Initiative will be greatly improved
communications allowing for any potential issues to be corrected early on or avoided entirely on
both sides. Through the Initiative, valuable state and tribal resources are put to more effective
use delivering government services in a more streamlined, coordinated and economically
efficient manner” (http://witribes.wi.gov/section.asp?linkid=283&locid=57).
