This division had an administration arm on the Lac du Flambeau reservation which oversaw projects in five Native American communities in northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Optional reading material will be placed in an online file with FeU for student access \nThis class is limited to 25 students. \nInstructor: Cindi Stiles \nOnline Registration: Scroll down to our Registration form to register online!\n– or –\nOffline Registration: Download PDF Registration Form\, complete and mail in with payment. \nRegistration Questions? Contact us or call (715) 862-2032 or (715) 476-2881. \nRegistration Issues/Troubleshooting: If you are registering with one email address for two or more people\, please register each person individually (i.e. do not register all at once\, but add students one at a time to checkout).
