LAC COURTE OREILLES BAND OF LAKE SUPERIOR CHIPPEWA INDIANS

(Redirected from Lac Courte Oreilles Indian Reservation)
The 'Lac Courte Oreilles' are one of seven Wisconsin bands of Ojibwa. The band is centered at the 'Lac Courte Oreilles Indian Reservation' in northwestern Wisconsin, which surrounds Lac Courte Oreilles (''Odaawaa-zaaga'igan'' in the Ojibwe language, meaning "Ottawa Lake"). The main reservation's land is in west-central Sawyer County, but there are two small plots of off-reservation trust land in Rusk, Burnett County, and in Evergreen, Washburn County. The Reservation was established by the second Treaty of La Pointe in 1854. The Lac Courte Oreilles are signatories a treaty signed in 1837, the 1842 Treaty of La Pointe and the 1854 Treaty of La Pointe. It has a land area of 279.492 km² (107.912 sq mi), including the trust lands, and a population of 2,900 persons as of the 2000 census. The most populous community is Little Round Lake, at the reservation's northwest corner, southeast of the non-reservation city of Hayward, the county seat of Sawyer County.
The band operates the LCO Casino and a community radio station, WOJB-FM.
