Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin

The Migizi Cultural Resource Center is the cultural repository of the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Chippewa. It seeks to accomplish two objectives. The first is to implement a series of public programs for all age groups based on the four seasons. Examples of activities are berry picking and weaving (summer); harvesting wild rice and hide tanning (fall); snowshoe making and ice fishing (winter); basket making and collecting maple sugar (spring). The second objective is to partner with the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa's K-12 school and develop curriculums that will instill cultural identity and pride. Activities will include creating a family tree and a hands-on ethnobotany display of local plants used for cooking and medicinal purposes.
