Waaswaaganing Indian Bowl Living Arts and Culture Center

The Indian Bowl has been a Northwoods tradition since 1951. In the summers, along the shore of Long Interlaken Lake, the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians gathered to celebrate life, to dance and sing, and to laugh and remember.

In 2009, efforts began to explore building a new Waaswaaganing Indian Bowl Living Arts and Culture Center to honor heritage and tradition, while providing a venue for contemporary expression of living Native culture through the arts.

Last September, the Indian Bowl was demolished to make way for the new Waaswaaganing Indian Bowl Living Arts and Culture Center.

The Center will be the premiere Northwoods showcase for Anishinaabe performing, media, literary and visual arts. The Center will cost approximately $3.6 million, and to date approximately $1.2 million has been raised. Fundraising efforts are moving forward, and your support is greatly appreciated.
