Barricades have been removed after the town of Lac du Flambeau and the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa agreed to a temporary agreement over access to town roads that cross tribal land. Easements for the roads expired more than 10 years ago.
The barricades on four northern Wisconsin roads in Lac du Flambeau were removed Monday after the town and the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa reached a temporary agreement in order to provide time for a permanent solution.
Mike Hornbostel and his dog, Chance, have a reprieve from living in a cabin next to a bar Hornbostel owns off the Lac du Flambeau reservation. Hornbostel's home had been behind a barrier on East Ross Allen Lane.
Sandy Schlosser and Dave Miess will no longer be forced to walk across Ross Allen Lake to access their home. They purchased their property in 2020 but had no knowledge of a road easement that provided access to their home but expired in 2014.
