Chippewa Indians Dauphin River First Nation

This reserve of the chippewa, is also located in a sparcely populated region of manitoba. It is situated on the southwestern shores of lake winnipeg, about 155 miles to the north of winnipeg. The dauphin river first nation evidently has a small population but that could be an understatement. There is 1,000s of sq. mi. of open land the chippewa indians of dauphin river have to exploit, as well as lake winnipeg. There are few white settlements in that region. Their band history is similar to that of the other nearby chippewa first nation. Total enrolled population is 295, but probably is much higher. Of that population, 206 live on reserve, while 89 band members live off the first nation located on the west coast of lake winnipeg.
