While most people in the Northwoods have heard of the projects that the Civilian Conservation Corps completed in the 1930s, very few people have heard of the Indian Division of the CCC. This division had an administration arm on the Lac du Flambeau reservation which oversaw projects in five Native American communities in northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This class will describe the uniqueness of this program which relied on the participation of Native communities to determine what projects on their reservations were important, as well as provide the manpower to complete them.

This course is being offered by Fe University and will take place on Nov. 12 and 13, 10:00 a.m.-noon, at the Boy’s Dormitory, Government Boarding School in Lac du Flambeau, Wis., with Cindi Stiles.

Instructor: Cindi Stiles
