Whitefish River Ojibwa Reserve is much larger. This community is also known as Birch Island. Below are links to google maps photos of this community. During 1850, Ojibwa leaders met with greedy and selfish English leaders about land cessions. Ojibwa leaders were aware at that time of the newly invented revolver (it was possibly invented as early as the early 1830's) and dealt with 1850's Robinson/Huron Treaty in a careful manner. Large Reserves were demanded by Ojibwa leaders yet greedy and selfish English leaders refused. They were not willing to share land and have evil intentions. All land involved is not suited for agriculture which was known of by both Ojibwa leaders and greedy and selfish English leaders. After each request for a large Reserve, Ojibwa leaders were told no. To them that meant "Genocide." Instead of sending Ojibwa Soldiers out to wage war against the evil white race, Ojibwa leaders accepted at least three small Reserves if not four. Sizes of their Reserves were between 1,500 sq. mi. and 2,000 sq. m. Afterwards, many Ojibwa leaders gathered those Ojibwa Subjects of theirs who wanted to follow prophesy and set off for the west, north and northeast. Whitefish River is a community of Whitefish River Ojibwa Reserve which also includes Point Grondine, Sagamok, Serpent River and Whitefish Lake. All are really one Reserve. Within a few years after signing 1850's Robinson/Huron Treaty, Ojibwa leaders and their Ojibwa Subjects who stayed knew their Reserves had been violated by greedy and selfish English leaders. Another migration followed to the west, north and northeast. Whitefish River is a small community of 457 according to 2021's census. Between 2016 and 2021, the population of Whitefish River increased by only one. During 2016's census Whitefish River had a population of 456. Whitefish River has 180 dwellings. Average household size is 2.5 persons per household which is way below normal for Ojibwa communities. Ojibwa Language has nearly died out at Whitefish River. About 10% of the population knows some Ojibwa yet they're older folks probably. Location of this Ojibwa community is a scenic one. Small mountains are located at that region. Ojibwa leaders of this Ojibwa Reserve are allowing whites to invade and colonize their land. Many houses owned by whites are located along Cottage Lot Road. Close to 100 houses are owned by white invaders along Cottage Lot Road. Instead of following prophesy, these white Ojibwa leaders at Whitefish River, don't know it's definition. They could care less is a better way of writing about them!
