Black River Swan Creek Chippewa's

These Anishinabe people are the famous Cherokee. However, they are really Anishinabe or Algonquian. The Cherokee and many other Iroquois Tribes, formed alliances with the whites and helped the whites colonize North America. They even joined white soldiers to fight against the mighty Native American. It was not the Cherokee who went off on the so called Cherokee Trail of Tears, in 1838-1839, it was the Black River and Swan Creek Chippewa's who commenced the so called 1838-1839 Trail of Tears. And white soldiers did not round up the Anishinabe people of southern Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio and marched them to Kansas and Oklahoma. It was the Seven Fires Prophecy! Around 100,000 or more Anishinabe people from southern Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio were ordered by their ogimak to pack their belongings to commence a westward exodus. It occurred in 1838-1839. They reached the Kansas and Oklahoma region in 1839 and joined with the Anishinabek who had already been living there. They eventually migrated into Texas, then northern Mexico. Many also migrated straight west into Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Arizona, and then southern California. Most fled to Mexico.

Many also migrated up to Montana. Thus, the reason for the non federally recognized Black River and Swan Creek Chippewa's of Montana. They supposedly moved to the south of Michigan and the south of Ontario, after the Sauk were driven out by the whites in the 17th century, from northern Michigan. However, that is one of white historians many lies about Anishinabe history. The Indian people who moved back to the south of Michigan and the south of Ontario, were the Swan Creek and Black River Chippewa's. They simply returned to their original homeland. Many, however, remained in the Wisconsin and Illinois region and migrated to Missouri and westward to Montana and Washington State. William W. Warren named the Sauk in his 19th century book the O-sau-gee. Hidden within the name O-sau-gee, is the cover-up white historians resorted to, to rob the Anishinabe people of their great history. Remove the "u" and last "e" from O-sau-gee and we get Osage. The Osage Indians are not Dakota, they are the Sauk (Osaugee) or the Swan Creek and Black River Chippewa's. The Sauk-Suiattle of Washington State are also Swan Creek and Black River Chippewa's.

After settling down in Kansas and Oklahoma, the Swan Creek and Black River Chippewa's became civilized. Mexico was under Anishinabe control at the time, though the whites were attempting to bring Mexico back under their control in 1839. With the other Anishinabe people from Montana to Mexico, the Swan Creek and Black River Chippewa's and the other Anishinabe people living on the Great Plains, became formidable enough to force the whites to use ships to invade the California, Oregon, and Washington region. Anishinabe soldiers patrolled their borders from South Dakota to Mexico, to make certain the whites did not colonize the Great Plains. In 1854, the United States passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act and that enraged Anishinabe ogimak (leaders) who knew it meant serious trouble and a horrible war would be fought. In 1860, Anishinabe ogimak became aware of Lincoln. Lincoln made it clear that he would invade Anishinabe land at all costs. Lincoln could care less for slavery and blacks. He wanted land. After Lincoln became President, Anishinabe leaders sent their brave soldiers to bring all southern States under their control. What followed was that horrible war.

After losing the war to the cheating whites, the Swan Creek and Black River Chippewa's agreed to cede their Kansas and Nebraska land in 1866, and relocate to Oklahoma. By 1870, they had moved to Oklahoma where they were set aside a 1.4 million acre Reservation. It is known as the Osage Reservation of Oklahoma. The Swan Creek and Black River Chippewa's continue to live in Kansas and are trying to gain federal recognition.
