| Bio notes | Also known as Ojibwe, Chippewa, and Saulteurs. Speakers of Anishinaabe, a subset of the Algonquian language, the Ojibwe were historically located at the mouth of Lake Superior and along the Mississagi River. By the end of 18th century, they controlled most of Michigan, the Red River area, and northern Wisconsin, as well as northern parts of Lakes Huron and Superior. They frequently fought against the Iriquois. In 1807 they signed the Treaty of Detroit, ceding rights to Southeastern Michigan and parts of Ohio in exchange for small pockets of land in their homeland. The Ojibwa fought against the United States in the War of 1812, after which the United States tried to relocate them. The Ojibwa resisted. Tensions lasted for a long time and did not necessarily erupt into war, as the Sandy Lake Tragedy of 1850 resulted in deaths of several hundred Chippewa who had been forced to wait out winter at Sandy Lake, Minnesota, for delayed annuity payments. Eventually, the bands east of Mississippi were allowed to remain. |
