Ojibwa's account for 57.1% of Squaw Lakes population. Whites 39.8%. Mexicans 4.1%. Ojibwa's refusing to identify as Ojibwa! Mixed bloods 2.0%. However, there's a discrepancy most don't know about. There are two distinct areas. One is located on Leech Lake Reservation owned "Trust Land," while another is located on "Fee Land." North of Popple River there are over 30 housing units and a couple of businesses and a building to go to to be deceived! A school (Eagleview School) is also located there. Most of Squaw Lake north of Popple River is "Reservation Trust Land." That's the predicament. Unlike Cass Lake which does not accept the neighborhood located on "Reservation Trust Land," Squaw Lake accepts that portion located on "Reservation Trust Land." South of Popple River is where Squaw Lake is. There are 30 or more housing units south of Popple River and about 5 community and public businesses. Land south of Popple River or that portion of Squaw Lake south of Popple River, is "Fee Land." It's land subject to City, County, Federal and State taxes. This city is probably predominantly mixed bloods who are predominantly white. Most Ojibwa's who are predominantly Ojibwa live north of Popple River. There's a pow wow ground next to Eagleview School. When Minnesota Forest Reserve (now known as Chippewa National Forest) was created on June 27, 1902 or about same time chief Rocky Boy was first mentioned in newspapers, nearly all of LLR was included within Minnesota Forest Reserve. What American leaders did on June 27, 1902, was restore Leech Lake Reservation created on May 7, 1864. Chippewa National Forest nearly has the same boundaries as Leech Lake Reservation from 1864 including Pokagomin Reservation. However, they excluded certain areas as "State Land" or "Private Land," so whites could invade and colonize LLR illegally. That has to be addressed. We know chief Rocky Boy took action for Leech Lake Reservation in 1902! Most of the hostile Pillager Ojibwa's from Pokagomin District were forced to relocate to White Earth Reservation where they settled between White Earth Lake and Rice Lake. Squaw Lake has a land area of 0.84 sq. mi. or 2.18 sq. km. Elevation is 1,339 feet above sea level or 408 meters. Zip code is 56681. Leaders of Leech Lake Reservation must address this issue of whites taking over or construct new housing units north of Popple River and proclaim Squaw Lake north of Popple River, to be a distinct community. Rename it "Man-na Sip-pi" or Choppy River.
