Chippewa Indians Ojibway Nation of Saugeen

This band of chippewa indians live west of lake nipigon. Their tribal history probably involves many anishinabek from michigan, minnesota, and wisconsin fleeing to their land seeking asylum in the 19th century. Their ancestors signed treaty 3 with canada, but in all likelihood, they did so with the belief that they were not ceding their land. 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 ojibway nation of saugeen and their reserve is 206, with only 72 living on reserve, but that could be incorrect.
