Lac du Flambeau tribal members to get new IDs that meet federal requirements

LAC DU FLAMBEAU - Lac du Flambeau tribal members will be able to use new tribal IDs for a number of things. That includes using them to get into federal buildings or to fly.

The federal government created stricter photo ID requirements after the September 11th terrorist attacks, but those requirements posed problems for Native American tribes.

They wanted to be able to use their own tribal IDs when IDs are required by the federal government.
