Wisconsin county tries to mend fences with tribes on land issues
Thursday, March 7, 2013
Officials in Shawano County, Wisconsin, are trying to mend fences with tribes after years of land-into-trust disputes.
In January, the county rescinded its opposition to the Ho-Chunk Nation land-into-trust application. The tribe now plans to attend the county's Tribal Affairs Committee meeting next week to discuss moving forward.
Efforts with the Stockbridge-Munsee
Community haven't been as successful. The county refused to approve a land-into-trust agreement last year and talks have fizzled since then.
