LAC DU FLAMBEAU — Despite threatening to block roads to residents, Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians tribal leaders say they will keep roads open. The tribe set a January 16 deadline for the town to pay up, but Wednesday morning the tribal council voted to not put barricades back on the roads. They also will remove the barricades from the sides of the roads soon.  Lac du Flambeau tribal leaders have been threatening to close the roads for months.  The town was paying the tribe money to keep access to the four roads open but said they ran out of money last August.
