Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians

In recent history, LVD was recognized by most as members of the Keweenaw Bay Band and resided in the Watersmeet area. In the decade of 1960, members of LVD began the effort to reorganize as a separate and distinct Band. The 70's brought 15 units of low-income housing to the north end of the Village of Watersmeet and another 20 units in the early 80's in which many members of the Band resided.
