Ojibway Indians of Oklahoma

How, you may be asking, did the ojibway indians of oklahoma get there? Around the early 1760s, or just after Pontiac's War, the Anishinabe looked towards the Missouri region where the Spanish were establishing themselves after the 1763 Treaty of Paris. They needed another trade partner other than the English, to get modern day European weapons of war. They drove their Illini papas out of the Illinois region then sent their settlers to Illinois and Missouri, to live, and trade with the Spanish. As more war erupted with the westward invasion of the English, many Ojibway Indians of Oklahoma can trace their roots to that event. Many Chippewa's of the Illinois and Missouri region, started to flee towards Kansas and OKlahoma during the latter 18th century. After losing to the English Americans, the Americans forced many Chippewas of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio to relocate to Kansas and Oklahoma. Below is a list of the present day population of the Chippewa's who live throughout Oklahoma.
