Chippewa Indians Weenusk First Nation

This band of chippewa indians live just southeast of the severn ojibwa's. They probably share a similar history as well. They probably attacked the whites in 1689 to prevent them from forming alliances with their enemies. They also probably signed the 1929 and 1930 treaty's as well, though the whites claim otherwise. This chippewa reserve is also located close to the southern shores of hudson bay. Many of the citizens of the weenusk first nation still fish, hunt, and trap for a livelihood. Their total enrolled band population is 513, but is probably much higher because of the isolation of the community, and the resources available to the citizens of this reserve. Their first nation covers 5,310 hectares or 13,121 acres. However, their real reserve is the 10,000s of sq. mi. of surrounding land they exploit for a subsistence.
