Located in northern Washington State, the Colville Reservation has a bitter past and, probably a corrupted history written for them by the whites. Why? The obvious Chippewa presence in that region of North America! In the mid 19th century the whites initiated an invasion into the California, Oregon, and Washington region. Most of the Indians at the time of that invasion, were subjugated by the military and police totem (the Chippewa's) of the Algonquin Tribe. Starting in the late 1840s, Algonquin soldiers commenced to fight the invading whites who were using Plague Warfare against them, as a means to decimate Indian populations. At the time, the whites had superior weapons (the revolver) and easily dominated the brave soldiers of the Algonquin's. More wars erupted in the 1850s which led Anishinabe ogimak (leaders) to reach an agreement with the whites which ended the fighting by 1859. Part of the agreements obviously included setting aside large areas of land in Oregon and Washington, to be a Reservation for the Chippewa's and the Indian Tribes they subjugated.
A few years after the peace treaty was reached, the corrupted whites once again initiated trouble with the Chippewa controlled land they promised them. In either 1874 or 1876, the Americans illicitly broke treaty promises and commenced to war upon the Chippewa's of Montana who had yet to be defeated. After defeating the Chippewa's of Montana, Chippewa ogimak ordered their soldiers to commence an exodus to the west as told to do in the Seven Fires Prophecy. It was not the Nez Perce who fled east, it was the Chippewa's from Montana who fled to the west, using the Mullan Road. After the United States learned about the exodus they commenced to send soldiers into Idaho, Oregon, and Washington to stop the exodus. They then sent more soldiers to Montana to halt the exodus but Chippewa soldiers commenced another exodus up to Canada. In all, 10,000s of Chippewa's fled into Idaho, Oregon, and Washington which led to the problems in the late 1870s, between ogima Moses and the Chippewa's under his leadership, and the white settlers. In Canada, 10,000s of Chippewa's were led there by ogimak Big Bear and Sitting Bull. To learn more about this corrupted historical event, click here
After the 10,000s of Chippewa's invaded the Idaho, Oregon, and Washington region in the 1876-1877 time period, trouble arose between them and the white settlers in Washington, as well as Idaho and Oregon. In response to the unrest the United States met with ogima Moses who was probably the Chippewa leader who led the 10,000s of Chippewa's into the Idaho, Oregon, and Washington region, from Montana. To calm the terrified Chippewa's, the United States agreed to set aside a new Reservation for them which bordered both the Colville and Yakima Reservations. You'll learn the Columbia Reservation was much smaller but white historians are not being honest about this ancient historical event. The new Reservation was established on April 18, 1879. It did not last long because the whites could not conduct themselves in a brave, honorable, and lawfull manner. In 1882, a treaty was signed between the Anishinabe Nation and the United States, which possibly eradicated the Columbia Reservation.
That possibly on December 8, 1882 when ogima Big Bear took treaty to end the famine the Chippewa's were going through. Earlier in the year a war nearly erupted in Washington. A war nearly occurred because the Chippewa's of the Columbia Reservation knew the United States was going to eradicate their Reservation. White settlers began attacking Chippewa property and the Chippewa's did retaliate. On July 7, 1883 an agreement was reached which eradicated the Columbia Reservation. The Chippewa's of Washington were offered two choices. They could accept land allotments or they could relocate to the Colville Reservation. Most chose to accept land allotments. Many more relocated to the Colville Reservation. If you want to know why i have included the cities below as part of the Colville Reservation, you now know!
Originally, the Colville Reservation set aside for the Chippewa's and their Salishan allies, covered millions of acres. By millions, i mean 10,000,000s of acres. It would get the worse of the whites and lead them to create the filthy 1887 Dawes Act. The supposed original Colville Reservation established on April 9, 1872, covered 2,825,000 acres. In 1892, the northern half of the Reservation (1.5 million acres) was stolen by the whites. The Colville Reservation was left with 1,354,880 acres. Then on October 10, 1900 the southern half of the Colville Reservation was opened to white settlement. By 1914 Indians were allotted 333,275 acres of land on the southern Colville Reservation. Many, if not most, of the Indians sold their land to non Indians. It is difficult to correctly ascertain exactly how much of the Colville Reservation is owned by the Colville Tribes. I do know that in 1956 around 800,000 acres was returned to the Colville Reservation and the Reservations leaders are still claiming over 200,000 acres is alienated, which means of the 1,354,880 acres the Colville Reservation was left with after the 1892 land theft occurred and the subsequent land theft in 1900, the Reservation covered less than 300,000 acres. It is very confusing to read about this Reservations past. Today, the Colville Reservation supposedly covers 2,117 sq. mi., or 1,354,880 acres but some of that land is owned by non Indians. This Reservation has corruption emanating from it. It will be a good idea to ignore what has been written about this size of the current Colville Reservation. Too much confusing surrounds it.
At the present time, the Chippewa's of the Colville Reservation have been forced by the whites to lose their Chippewa Tribal identity. The whites only recognize the Salishan and Nez Perce (the Nez Perce on this Reservation are really Algonquin's) of the Colville Reservation. They refer to them as the 12 confederated tribes of the Colville Reservation. Similar to the 12 lost tribes of Israel. Those acquainted with Anishinabe history know what that represents! Below are the Reservations demographics. Below is a list of towns on the Reservation which are predominantly Indian. Average household size is 2.8. There is a total of 2,693 housing units with owner occupied units numbering 1,821 while renter occupied units number 872.
Covers 2,117 sq. mi.
Population is 7,587
Indian: 4,528 (5,315 when including mixed bloods and Hispanics)
White: 2,474
Black: 12
Asian: 253
Mixed: 313
Hispanic: 474 - Hispanic population is corrupted as usual. Mexicans are predominantly descended from the Native Americans who lived in the eastern part of the United States. The whites have forced them to lose their tribal identities.
