14 of 15 members of the Lac du Flambeau Chippewa Band have been released on signature bonds following a 14-hour sit-in Wednesday at the Tribal Center.

Bond was set at $250 each.

The Vilas County Chief Deputy Sheriff says the group was arrested on tentative charges of criminal trespassing.

They are expected to be back in court May 7.

Police say the protestors surrendered peacefully shortly before 4 p.m. Wednesday after federal officials agreed to investigate their allegations of corruption among tribal leaders.

"Tribal Leaders that usurp leadership outwardly appear Indian, speak like experts about Indian ways, boast and brag about their pretended virtues and achievements. They claim to be the defenders of Indian rights but when dangers threaten, they often hide safely in the back ranks. Traditionally, Indian leaders are the servants of their people. Within daily social life, they are outwardly indistinguishable from the rest of the people. The behavior of Indian leaders must be above reproach, for they are selected for their virtues, not their weaknesses. They must be brave, alert and intelligent, kind and compassionate to all people, especially to children and Elders, industrious, and generous. Dictatorial Indian bureaucrats, no longer acting in our best interests, no longer accountable to their own people and profiteering against their own people." I appluad the federal government for listening to our brothers and sisters and addressing their concerns... Todd
