Welcome to the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Reservation website. The Reservation lies in Northeastern Minnesota adjacent to the city of Cloquet, MN, approximately 20 miles west of Duluth, MN. The Fond du Lac Reservation, established by the LaPointe Treaty of 1854, is one of six Reservations inhabited by members of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe. 
The Chippewa nation is the second largest ethnic group of Indians in the United States. Archaeologists maintain that ancestors of the present day Chippewa have resided in the Great Lakes area since at least 800 A.D. Click here for a more thorough history of the Lake Superior Chippewa people.

  • 4/29 Spearing/Netting for Mille Lacs Lake is updated for 2008. Click here to visit the fishing seasons page for all the details. It's looking like a very late ice-out. Band members are encouraged to call 878-8001 after hours, where a recorded message will give details. While the walleyes are no doubt already spawning, there should be enough still up shallow next week to make it worth the trip down to Mille Lacs. Band members shouldn't come down with grand expectations of 100 pounds of walleyes in their nets. There will be fish, but it will require more work than in the past. Click here for pictures of the ice-out as of 4/23/08.
