Chippewa Indians Red Rock First Nation

This band of chippewa indians live a few miles north of lake superior. Their tribal history probably includes many anishinabek from michigan, minnesota, southern ontario, and wisconsin fleeing to their land seeking asylum in the 18th, and the 19th centuries. The leaders from the red rock band of chippewa indians, signed the 1850 robinson-superior treaty, which established their present day reserve, which is in two locations, and covers only 263 hectares or 650 acres. The total enrolled population of their first nation is 1,484, but only 232 lived on reserve. They live in a location that is isolated but does have year round road access to the nearby white communities. Many of the citizens of this first nation, still fish, hunt, and trap for a subsistence. Their real country is the 10,000s of sq. mi. that surrounds them, especially the land towards their west.
