The community members report strong support from other Mole Lake members and elders. This past weekend, grassroots groups from the Red Cliff Band of Chippewa Indians, Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, Lac Courte Oreilles Chippewa Tribe, and members of the Michigan Keweenaw Bay Chippewa community traveled to Mole Lake to share prayers and support to the concerned tribal community members barricaded in the building. This communication written in consultation with the Mole Lake concerned tribal members that are currently in occupation of their tribal headquarters. The gas, electricity and water has been shut-off at the headquarters. The contact telephone number listed above for the Mole Lake concerned tribal members is a cellular phone and the battery pack is always running low on power.
Communications is a problem.
The group is requesting support.
