Fond du Lac Indian Reservation

The Fond du Lac Indian Reservation (or Nah-Gah-Chi-Wa-Nong (Nagaajiwanaang in the Double Vowel orthography), meaning "Where the current is blocked" in the Ojibwe language) is an Indian reservation in northern Minnesota near Cloquet in Carlton and Saint Louis counties, with off-reservation holdings in Douglas County in Wisconsin. The total land area of these tribal lands is 153.8375 square miles (398.437 km). It is the land-base for the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. Before the establishment of this reservation, the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa were located at the head of Lake Superior, closer to the mouth of the Saint Louis River. The tribe owns two casinos - Black Bear Casino in Carlton and Fond du Luth Casino in Duluth. FDL employs its own tribal police force. On the reservation there are social services, tribal housing, a natural resource building, a gas station, three community centers, and a private health clinic and pharmacy called Min No Aya Win Health Center. The tribe also has two satellite health clinics, one in Duluth named The Center for American Indian Resources (CAIR) and another in Minneapolis, Mashkiki Waakaaigan Pharmacy (Medicine House).
