The leadership of the Lac du Flambeau tribe has responded to a letter from Governor Tony Evers and U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin regarding the continued dispute over four roads that cross tribal land. TheLakelandTimes reports the letter from Evers and Baldwin cited the length of time the dispute has gone on and included a list of suggested mediators that could help resolve the process. In response, tribal leader Johnson questioned the concept of mediation, that the town, title companies and a portion of the private landowners had not acted in good faith and respect for the tribe’s rights and lands. He said the tribe had made every effort to negotiate in good faith to reach a mutually beneficial agreement, and said it was unjust that any settlement reached seems to require greater concesssions from the tribe, which Johnson deemed unfair.
