Failed negotiations over road access have led to the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa putting cement barriers down on four roads.Those barriers have blocked access to private homes within the tribe’s reservation.The issue goes back nearly 10 years ago when right-of-way easements on four roads on reservation land expired.
