Chippewa Indians Walpole Island First Nation

This band of chippewa indians live on the east coast of lake huron, not to far from owen sound, ontario. Their tribal history includes many wars fought against the invading whites, and many of their ancestors fleeing to far northern ontario to escape from the white threat. Their ancestors signed the 1923 williams treaty which ceded their land and established their walpole island first nation or reserve. Their total enrolled band population is over 4,245, with 2,203 living on reserve. The size of their reserve is 3,333 hectares or 8,236 acres.
