Boozhoo Gaa-Miskwaabikaang! It is our pleasure to release this draft of the Red Cliff Tribe's Comprehensive Plan.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call the Administration Building at 715-779-3700 and ask for the Planning Department.

We are honored to bring the history of our people forward and build a plan to successfully secure our future.

The Red Cliff Comprehensive Plan will serve as a guide for daily and long-range decisions made to improve the quality of life for the Gaa-Miskwaabikaang Nation. The Plan seeks to connect Anishinaabe history to present day conditions in order to create a better tomorrow for the generations to come. While the Plan is not a regulatory requirement, it is an official document that is approved and adopted by the Red Cliff Tribal Council. It includes a formal amendment process to allow for change over time based on conditions and forecasted outlooks. As a sovereign nation, Red Cliff has also considered the creation of this plan as a tool to inform local, state, and federal government as to the Tribe's self-determined vision for growth.

The Comprehensive Plan should be viewed as an ongoing process and not a singular effort. In other words, it is a "living" document that will be adapted over time to align with the vision, values, and conditions that the community is experiencing.
