Catawba Indians


White historians are being deceitful of about these Catawba Indians. Classifying them as Dakota or Sioux is a deception. Ojibway leaders from a western and southwestern location, sent large numbers of Ojibway People east after learning those people mentioned in prophecy had invaded. One group came up from a southwest location (probably Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas) while another migrated east from probably Alberta and Montana. Determining which group of Ojibway's they are descended from is problemtatic. Henry Rowe Schoolcraft who was assigned U.S. Indian Agent at Sault Ste. Marie in 1822, wrote that Catawba Indians had originally lived in Canada before being forced south. He detailed their migration to Kentucky then to Virginia. He was so accurite about their southern migration, he knew they had reached Catawba River by or before 1660. What makes Schoolcraft reliable was his ability to speak Ojibway. Though he lived nearly 200 years after this Ojibway southern migration to North Carolina and South Carolina, he knew exactly how and why this migration happened. Probably because Ojibway Historians wrote it down on Birch Bark Scrolls. Besides these Catawba Indians being native or newcomers to North Carolina and South Carolina, other so called Dakota's or Siouan Peoples related to Catawba Indians include Akenatsi, Cheraw, Moneton, Mosopelea (they settled in Louisiana), Saponi, Sewee, Tutelo and Waccamaw. All supposedly are Dakota yet they are Ojibway. In 1763 or during or after Pontiac's War, South Carolina created a Catawba Reservation covering 225 sq. mi. or 144,000 acres in Lancaster and York Counties. 1840's Treaty of Nation Ford which was illegal, forced Catawba leaders to cede all their Reservatiion except 1.0 sq. mi. In response, they fled west to Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina. During 1870's, they were set aside a 57,000 acre Reservation in North Carolina. Historians claim they are Cherokee. However, they are those Ojibway's that stayed instead of migrating west to Oklahoma. Many relocated later to Choctaw Territory in Oklahoma. In 1941, Catawba Indians received Federal Recognition. However, they were terminated during Termination Era in 1959. They regained Federal Recognition in 1993.



They have tried to get their 144,000 acre Reservation back by filing land claims. Instead of continuing their fight to regain their 144,000 acre Reservation, American leaders bought them for $50 million to end their land claims. Catawba Indians are in fact Ojibway. Sioux or Dakota People, got their names from Ojibway's. At Sault Ste. Marie (Sault is pronounced identically to Sioux), Ojibway People were very numerous. French or Italians, named them Sioux after first visiting where Sault Ste. Marie is in 1623. They named this location near Lake Superior, Sault de Gaston. In 1668, it was renamed Sault Ste. Marie. So we can trace origins of their name of Sioux, to 1623. Another Latin name Ojibway People are known by is Saulteaux. It's supposedly pronounced "Soe-Toe." Since you now know how "Sault" is pronounced, you than know that "Sault" in "Saulteaux" is pronounced as "Sioux." Correct pronunciation of "Saulteau or Saulteaux" is "Soot-toe." In Latin, "Sault" means "Rapids." Today, they continue to name Ojibway's living near Sault Ste. Marie "Soo." Usually "Soo Tribe of Chippewa Indians." In Ojibway Language, their word for alliance is "Wi-do-ko-da-di-win." That's how "Dakota" was put to use. It means allies. Catawba Indian Tribe don't know who they are. They are completely brainwashed. It's not their fault. Below is a list of Dakota Indians Reservations and Reserves, in Canada and United States. I did not include "Assiniboine Indians" because there's evidence they are Ojibway. Dakota People will not follow prophecy and must be considered dangerous by Ojibway People.

Pine Ridge Reservation of South Dakota and Nebraska

Most of Pine Ridge Reservation is owned by Pine Ridge Reservation. However, a significant portion (almost 25%) of this Reservation has been opened to white settlement as you'll see on this Reservations map. There are areas where "fee land" is located. Some or much of Pine Ridge CDP, is located on "fee land." It means it's land that's subject to city, county, State and Federal Taxes. Pine Ridge CDP is a fine looking small CDP or census designated place. It has quite a few businesses yet for a settlement with a population of over 3,000, it should have many more businesses. Could be because most of Pine Ridge CDP is located on "Trust Lant." It's land that is not subject to city, county, State and Federal Taxes. This part of South Dakota was "Pembina Ojibway Territory" according to father Belcourt. Below are links to photos of PRR's town of Pine Ridge.

Cheyenne River Reservation of South Dakota

Though it has Cheyenne as it's nations name, white historians supposedly named this Reservation after a river with a same name. It's original north boundary was Grand River. From southwest to northeast, it used to extend over 100 miles. Standing Rock Resevation is located adjacent to Cheyenne River Reservation on it's south. However, CRR's north boundary is further south now. Both Reservations have been severely molested by American leaders, especially SRR. This part of South Dakota was "Pembina Ojibway Territory" according to father Belcourt. Below are links to google earth photos of CRR's town of Eagle Butte which is doing good economically as a result of being located mainly on "fee land."

Crow Reservation of Montana

They are also known as Hidatsa, Minnetaree and Gros Ventre. We know Gros Ventre are Algonquin including those Gros Ventre in North Dakota also known as Hidatsa and Minnetaree. I should not include Crow Indians as being Dakota. They were like those Dakota People in South Dakota. They were friendly towards whites. In fact, they sided with American's during wars against Ojibway Nation which enraged Ojibway leaders. Crow Reservation has been molested by American leaders. Whites own much of this Reservation. This part of Montana was "Pembina Ojibway Territory" according to father Belcourt. He wrote that Pembina Ojibway Territory extended as far south as extreme southeast South Dakota near Nebraska, from Pembina, North Dakota, and over 500 miles west into western Montana and Wyoming. Below are links to google earth photos of Crow Agency. Nearly all of Crow Agency is located on "fee land" yet it's not doing well economically.



Covers 3,593 sq. mi. (including Northern Cheyenne Reservation's 690 sq. mi. or 1,180 sq. mi. it's total area is either 4,283 sq. mi. or 4,773 sq. mi.)

Fort Berthold Reservation of North Dakota

This Reservation is somewhat unique because it has a Caddoan Population. Arikara People are Caddoan. A Caddoan People known as "Pania" were allied with Chippewa's in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas according to Lewis and Clark. They were especially fond of Panhandle of Texas yet their territory extended as far south as north Mexico. Fort Berthold Reservation is home to three Tribes. They are Hidatsa (aka as Gros Ventre and Minnetaree), Mandan who are Dakota, and of course, Arikara People. Only reason i included this Reservation is Mandan People. This part of North Dakota was "Pembina Ojibway Territory" according to father Belcourt. Below are links to google earth photos of FBR's town of New Town.

Fort Peck Reservation of Montana

Boundaries of this Reservation are incorrect. Very little land north of Missouri River is within Fort Peck Reservation. It was created on April 13, 1875. It was set aside for Blackfeet, Blood, Crow, Gros Ventre and Piegan Peoples. It was not set aside for Dakota People. On July 13, 1880, they reduced FPR's size. In 1909, American leaders added old Fort Buford Reservation to Fort Peck Reservation. It was for chief Rocky Boy's Montana Ojibway's. On August 20, 1909 it was reported in Norfolk weekly news-journal that Professor J. F. Armstrong of Faulkton, South Dakota, was assigned a duty of proceeding to Helena, Montana to take charge of chief Rocky Boy's turbulent band of 120 Chippewa's and make arrangements for relocating them to a territory 400 miles from Helena. Trenton, North Dakota is 400 miles from Helena. It's headline read Rocky Boy to Dakota. This Reservation has been severely molested by American leaders. No one at Fort Peck Reservation knows FPR's correct boundaries. This part of Montana and North Dakota was "Pembina Ojibway Territory" according to father Belcourt. I should not include this Reservation as being a Dakota Reservation. Below are links to google earth photos of Trenton, North Dakota which is an Ojibway town.

Omaha Reservation of Iowa and Nebraska

It has been severely molested by American leaders. It was created on March 16, 1854. A land addition was added to Omaha Reservation on March 8, 1865 for Winnebago Indians. It's adjacent to Omaha Reservation on OR's north. Both Omaha's and Winnebago's originally lived within a 5 million acre Ojibway Reservation in Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri. It was a few miles east of this Reservation, in Monona County, Iowa. It was created on September 26, 1833 and eradicated on June 5, 1846. Most Ojibway's migrated to Mexico. However, many settled in Kansas, especially south of Ottawa, Kansas. It's possible some left their Kansas homes and migrated north to Nebraska.

Spirit Lake Reservation of North Dakota

It has been molested by American leaders. Much of Spirit Lake (Manito Gami in Ojibway) Reservation is owned by whites. Ojibway leader chief Red Bear, claimed most of this Reservation's land area as his. He claimed a portion of his domain commenced at Stump Lake then went in a line to Grahams Island. From Grahams Island, it went in a south line to Sheyenne River which is this Reservations south boundary. I should not include this Reservation as being Dakota. This part of North Dakota was "Pembina Ojibway Territory" according to father Belcourt. There is a Great Lake forming between Lakes Manitoba and Winnipeg in Manitoba, that will spread south along Red River in Minnesota and North Dakota. Though they've named this body of water Lake Agasiz and think it's history, they are wrong. This lake is a new Great Lake that will be much larger than any other Great Lake. From north to south, it will extend from well north of Nelson River in Manitoba, south to Lake Traverse in Minnesota and South Dakota. Whites have known about this forming lake since 1823. It will spread west to Devil's Lake and further west and east possibly merging with Lake Superior. All peoples in that region, will eventually have to leave in a future time. Below are links to google earth photos of Fort Totten which is Spirit Lake Reservations most important community.
