Chippewa Indians Martin Falls First Nation

This band of chippewa indians live far north of lake superior. The first nation has no road access to the white communities to their south, even during the winter. In their tribal history, their leaders signed the 1929 and 1930 treaty's which established their reserve. Their total enrolled band population is 600, but probably is much higher because of the isolation of their first nation and the resources available to the citizens of martin falls. Their reserve covers 7,770 hectares or 19,200 acres. However, their real reserve is the 10,000s of sq. mi. surrounding them, which they exploit for a subsistence. James Bay is located a couple of hundred miles to the east.
