Statement On Gunshot Incident On Little Saint Germain Lake In Vilas County
MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources was disappointed to hear that once again the Ojibwe people are encountering such troubling and challenging situations when practicing their court-affirmed right to spear fish in the ceded territory. We continue to support their treaty rights and will provide whatever assistance is needed to make it a safe season.
The incident is currently under investigation by the Vilas County Sheriff’s Department.
