The Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Ojibwe Indians will maintain a harvest camp at a controversial mining site in Wisconsin.

The tribe established the LCO Harvest Educational Learning Project to exercise off-reservation gathering and harvesting rights. The camp is on public lands that are covered by treaties, Chairman Mic Isham has said.

The tribe is working with Iron County on a long-term agreement for the camp.
