Chippewa Indians Brokenhead First Nation

As with nearly all other chippewa first nations located around white settlements, the majority of the brokenhead reserve population lives off the chippewa reserve. Brokenhead first nation is just south of lake winnipeg and northeast of selkirk. The population on the reserve is 587, while the off first nation population is 1,095. The reason for most of the reserves enrolled population living in white settlements, is the year round road access to the white communities in their midst. They are feeling the horrible effects of constant contact with the whites. The first nation covers 5,688 hectares or 14,055 acres.
