LCO Community Assessment Complete

November 7, 2019
Hayward, WI

Big Water would like to congratulate the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians on completing its LCO Community Assessment project. We had an opportunity to share the results of the household survey with project stakeholders and community members at LCO Ojibwe Community College in Hayward, Wisconsin on November 5. Our follow-up meetings with the Grants/Planning Department and the Waadookodaading Ojibwe Language Immersion School on November 6 will help ensure that this data is fully utilized by the Tribe and tribal programs and that future tribal data collection efforts will benefit from lessons learned in this project. This project serves as yet another example of tribes in northern Wisconsin taking a data-driven approach to planning, program management, and the grant application process. We would also like to thank Enterprise Community Partners for providing critical matching funds in support of this capacity-building project.
