Minnesota Chippewa Tribe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Minnesota Chippewa Tribe is a centralized government for six Chippewa (Ojibwe or sometimes Anishinaabe) bands in the U.S. state of Minnesota. It was created on June 18, 1934, and the organization and its constitution were recognized by the Secretary of the Interior two years later on July 24, 1936. Powers are divided between the state tribal organization and the individual Indian reservations. The bands that make up the tribe are:
- Bois Forte Band of Chippewa
- Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa
- Grand Portage Band of Chippewa
- Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe
- Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe
- White Earth Band of Ojibwe
Notably, the Red Lake Band of Chippewa is not part of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe.
