Learning to fish ‘for tradition and life’ with Lac du Flambeau youth

Wisconsin Life

The Lac du Flambeau tribe got its name from French traders who observed tribal members harvesting fish from canoes at night by torchlight. More than 200 years later, the Lake Superior band is trying to keep such traditions alive by holding camps that teach tribal youth how to fish. WPR’s Danielle Kaeding tagged along with dozens of kids taking part, some of whom were picking up a pole for the first time.
