The Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa is one of 14 finalists for the Honoring Nations award from the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development.

The Bad River Band was selected for its recycling and solid waste program. Created by the tribe in 1989, the tribe's Recycling Solid Waste Department provides curbside recycling to individuals and businesses and promotes cleanup of the reservation.

The Honoring Nation awards will be presented October 3 during the National Congress of American Indians conference in Sacramento, California.
