Chippewa Indians Aroland First Nation & History

This band of chippewa indians live just east of lake nipigon, and on the fringes of the few white settlements located in northern ontario. Their tribal history probably involves many anishinabek from michigan, minnesota, and wisconsin fleeing to their land seeking asylum in the 19th century. Some of the citizens from the aroland reserve may have participated in the railroad blockades that occurred in northern ontario in the summer of 1990. There may have been a short war between the anishinabek of northern ontario and canada during the summer of 1990. The anishinabek were outraged over canada spraying chemicals over their land. They call it chemtrails conspiracy at the present time. Their ancestors signed the 1850 robinson-superior treaty, but they did not ceded their land to canada. They gave canada their permission to build roads and railroads, and establish trading posts when they agreed to the treaty. The total enrolled band population of the aroland reserve is 325, but that could be incorrect.
