Lac du Flambeau (LDF) Reservation

Family cottage area shared by Brant's grandmother Barbara F Rice and her older sister Winifred Rice ('Aunt Winnie') in the mid-20th century. A meaningful family location and a candidate explanation for the family's oral history of 'tribal blood' — long-standing community proximity to the Anishinaabe / Ojibwe of Lac du Flambeau, possibly without a documented Native intermarriage. Worth investigating further: which specific lake / shore / cottage, what years, who else in the family spent time there. See https://www.ldftribe.com/ for the official tribal site.
