Isabella Reservation


Located in central Michigan, is the Chippewa Isabella Reservation which has been horribly violated by the United States. It is one of the worst examples of American crime. Historically, the creation of this Reservation can be traced back to the end of the War of 1812. After the Chippewa's had been defeated in that war, a series of treaties followed in which the Chippewa's ceded much of their land to the whites. Around 1836-1837, the last treaties were made between the Chippewa's and the United States, which set aside a temporary (5 years) Reservation for the Chippewa's of southern Michigan. After the end of the 5 year period the Reservation was to be eradicated. Chippewa ogimak got the message. They ordered around 100,000 or more of the Anishinabe people of southern Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana to pack their belongings to commence an exodus to the west (Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas) because they knew from the Seven FIres Prophecy that if they didn't move they would be exterminated by the evil white race. Around 5,000 died on the exodus. Of course, the Chippewa's of central and southern Michigan now, will admit that the Seven Fires Prophecy was correct.



During late 1838, the exodus commenced. The Anishinabe people who left reached the Kansas region in 1839. This event is known as the Cherokee Trail of Tears. However, it was not the Cherokee Indians who left on this exodus. It was the Anishinabe people. And the United States did not order their military in to round up the Chippewa's to remove them. Chippewa ogimak knew from the Seven Fires Prophecy that they had to leave if they wanted to survive. After reaching the Kansas region, they eventually migrated to Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, Oklahoma, Texas, and Utah. Most, however, eventually fled into northern Mexico. Some fled up to Nebraska, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Montana. Thus, the reason why there are a group of Black River and Swan Creek Chippewa's in Montana trying to gain State and Federal recognition. They are also known as the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Gros Ventre.



After the great majority of the Chippewa's of central and southern Michigan left for the Kansas region in 1838-1839, those who remained behind continued to live in their original homeland. And they continued to present themselves as a hostile threat to the whites. On August 2, 1855 a treaty was agreed upon by the Black River and Swan Creek Chippewa's (they are better known as the Saginaws) and the United States, which established a Reservation for them. It is known as the Isabella Reservation. It is located in Isabella County, Michigan. It covers 6 townships or 138,240 acres. As predicted in the Seven Fires Prophecy, the whites destroyed this promised Reservation. That occurred on October 18, 1864 when the crooked Americans forced the Saginaws to cede their Isabella Reservation. Chippewa retribution followed. Exactly how many whites were murdered is not known but a few were. By destroying the Isabella Reservation, the whites only needed to insert in the treaty agreements, that individual Chippewa's would be granted a parcel of land they could sell to non Indians. They refused to allow the government of the Saginaw Chippewa Isabella Reservation, to own the land.



It took only a few years for individual Chippewa's who were granted land on the Isabella Reservation to sell their land to the whites. The August 2, 1855 treaty is fraudulent. Why? The American government did not deal with the government of the Saginaw Chippewa Isabella Reservation. Instead they dealt with individual Chippewa's. That means the Isabella Reservation is still entirely intact or the 138,240 acres the Isabella Reservation covers, is still owned by the government of the Isabella Reservation. Treaty's are made between the governments of two opposing nations. Treaty's are not made between the goverment of one nation and the citizens of another nation. There is no sense in it. Below are the demographics of this Reservation. There are also several google earth photographs of the Isabella Reservation as well. Of the 217 sq. mi. the Reservation covers, around 35 to 40 sq. mi., remain forested.
