History

The LCCC is dedicated to its namesake, former Tribal Councilwoman Luella Collins. She served on the Council from the time the Tribe formally began meeting in 1992 until September of 2004. Luella was known for her dependability, unique sense of humor, and her dedication to both the history and the future of the Gun Lake Tribe. These are all attributes passed down from her father, former Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Chief, Jacob Sprague (1954-1959).

Luella Collins

Before she walked on, Luella mentored younger Tribal Council members, using her wisdom and sense of fairness to mold them as future Tribal Leaders. She was always looking ahead for ways to better the Tribe and the Luella Collins Community Center was one of many steps toward the future she envisioned for the Gun Lake Tribal Community.
