The Lac Vieux Desert people are a quiet, reserved and noble Band of the Lake Superior Chippewa who maintained and practiced cultural beliefs and traditions well into the 20th century.  Their home among the lake and its three islands is in the head waters of the Wisconsin River Watershed and near the Lake Superior and Lake Michigan Watersheds.  In addition to the convergence of the three watersheds near Lac Vieux Desert, three main trails also converge at Lac Vieux Desert.
