The Sokaogon Chippewa Community, or the Mole Lake Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, is a federally recognized tribe of the Lake Superior Chippewa, many of whom reside on the Mole Lake Indian Reservation, located southwest of the city of Crandon, in the Town of Nashville, Forest County, Wisconsin. The reservation is located partly in the community of Mole Lake, Wisconsin.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Mole Lake Indian Reservation was 2.94 square miles (7.6 km2) in 2020. The band also had 2.16 square miles (5.6 km2) of off-reservation trust land.[2] Including the community's additional fee land, the Sokaogon Chippewa Community managed a total of 4,904.2 acres (7.6628 sq mi; 19.847 km2) as of 2010. The reservation includes land around Rice Lake, Bishop Lake, and Mole Lake.[1] The combined population of Sokaogon Chippewa Community and Off-Reservation Trust Land was 507 at the 2020 census.[3] About 500 members of the tribe live on the reservation, while an additional 1,000 members of the community live off it. The tribe is active in the harvest of wild rice in the swampy areas on and off their reservation.[4]
