ezhinikaazod Lac du Flambeau, meaning “Lake of the Torches,” was given by French traders and trappers who observed the Band’s unique fishing practice—harvesting fish at night using torchlight. This tradition not only provided sustenance but also became a defining symbol of the community’s identity.
