Chippewa Indians Little Grand Rapids First Nation & History

Located east of lake winnipeg, the Anishinabe indians little grand rapids reserve is an isolated community, which has no year round road access to the southern white communities, far to the south. The total enrolled population of this band of Anishinabe indians is 1,427, with 268 living off the reserve. Their population is probably far larger than 1,427. They have a vast surrounding landbase, which offers this band of Anishinabe of little grand rapids, the opportunity to exploit their land. That land covers 10,000s of sq. mi. and is really their first nation or reserve. Part of the history of their reserve likely involves many of the anishinabek from further south, fleeing to their land in the late 19th century.
