How do we know that Shullsburg still wants the project?Īfter a meeting with Tribal officials in December of 2011, Shullsburg officials immediately formed a casino project Citizen's Group Committee. The BIA is again processing gaming related fee to trust land applications. That decision was reversed by Secretary of Interior Salazar in June 2011. The BIA had closed the door on off reservation trust land applications for gaming in January 2008. The tribe purchased that land in December of 2004 for $357,000. The tribe signed a purchase offer for 93 acres of land just outside the city of Shullsburg, on Highway 11, in November of 2000. The Chippewa retained the right to hunt on the lands ceded in this territory. This land was later ceded to the United States in the Treaty of Prairie du Chien in 1829. This treaty was subsequently ratified by all Chippewa Tribes in the follow up gathering in Fond du Lac, Minnesota in 1826. A representative of the Lac du Flambeau signed the Treaty. The area around present day Shullsburg, Wisconsin is within the boundaries designated by the Treaty of Prairie du Chien in 1825 for the Council of Three Fires which included the Chippewa, Ottawa, and the Potawatomie. LDF has historical ties to the Shullsburg area. The response from Shullsburg, from the first meeting onward, was positive and remains so today. In early 2000, during the initial period of off reservation gaming expansion, Tribal representatives actively canvassed municipalities throughout Wisconsin. It is centrally located between Dubuque, Iowa Madison, Wisconsin and Rockford, Illinois. The city of Shullsburg is located in Lafayette County in Southwestern Wisconsin on State Highway 11. : Daniel Gottfried: A Multitalented Force in the Entertainment Industry joins the cast of Mobkingįrequently Asked Questions Where is Shullsburg?. ![]() : Workforce training program prepares Native Americans for jobs in the trades.: Intensive Therapy Retreats in Northampton Helps in Mental Health Recovery. ![]()
