Ojibway Indians of Minnesota

From northern Wisconsins lake lands, the ojibway indians of minnesota came. They were driven by greed to expand their land. After the Chippewa's and their Nakota allies killed 21 french traders, the supply of European weapons to the Lakota people of Minnesota stopped. Within 30 years the Chippewa's and their Nakota allies had driven the Lakota out of northern Minnesota. They are probably quite a few Assiniboine (Nakota's) living on the White Earth Reservation. Below is a list of the Ojibway Indians of Minnesota Reservations.
