Chippewa Indians Pic Mobert First Nation

This band of chippewa indians live just north of lake superior. Their tribal history is the same as that of the other indian first nation of that region of ontario. Many anishinabek from michigan and southern ontario, probably fled to that region to escape from the whites. They proved to the world in august of 1990, that they have never signed a treaty with canada which ceded their land. They were backed by the ginoogaming, pic river, and pays plat chippewa first nations, to support the long lake 58 chippewa's.

In fact, some war may have occurred late during that year between the anishinabek of northern ontario and canada. The canadians claim that the fighting which erupted that year between indians and whites, was between the mohawks and canada. They refer to the event as the Oka Crisis. However, the whites have a bad reputation for being liars. Something happened in 1990 in northern ontario and it was probably a short war. In august of 1990, many citizens from the pic mobert and long lake 58 first nation blockaded the cnr tracks to make it clear to canada that they did not appreciate what canada was doing to their land. Canada was regularly spraying their lands in order to destroy their land. From their first nation, which sits next to lake superior, to longlac it is about 70 miles, and from west to east, for nearly 200 miles, there are no white settlements. Many of the citizens of this reserve still fish, hunt, and trap for a subsistence. Something is not right about this predicament in northern ontario. Many of northern ontario's chippewa's deny their ancestors ceded their land to the whites. And then there may have been a short war in 1990. The total enrolld band population of pic mobert is 828, with most, 503, living off reserve. However, since they are located in mainly an isolated region that does have year round road acceess to nearby white settlements, their population is probably much higher.
