This Ojibwa Reservation was created after 1862's Minnesota Ojibwa War. Below are maps of Red Lake Reservation and links to google earth photos of Ponemah. This region of Minnesota was not included in February 22, 1855's Treaty which is suspicious. On March 11, 1863, American negotiators met with Pillager Ojibwa leaders about ending 1862's War and creating new and larger Reservations. On October 2, 1863, Ojibwa leaders from Lower and Upper Red Lakes region signed treaty at Old Crossing which created Red Lake Reservation. On May 7, 1864, a treaty was signed that officially ended Minnesota's Ojibwa War and ratified March 11, 1863's Treaty and October 2, 1863's Treaty. This happened at Montana. Leech Lake Reservation was created and included Red Lake Reservation. It's a vast Reservation. Land was added to LLR in 1867. Today that land addition is known as White Earth Reservation. More land was added to LLR in 1878 or 1879. American leaders broke treaty and illegally opened Leech Lake Reservation to white settlement. They had to get permission from Ojibwa Nations Government located at what is now Great Falls, Montana. Instead in late 1895 they allowed individual Ojibwa men of RLR's planned land cession, to vote to determine if they wanted their Reservation or if they didn't. It was an illegal action. Governments are created for people to govern them. Ojibwa People were governed by their Totemic System. If RLR men didn't want Reservation it meant they could sell their land allotments. It was done fraudulently or without proper Ojibwa Nation Government approval. It later led to violence and eventual establishments of separate Reservations which enraged Ojibwa leaders.
American leaders wanted to relocate many Montana Ojibwa's to RLR. Reason for their scheme to forcefully relocate Montana Ojibwa's was the large Ojibwa Population at Montana. Much of Montana is our "Chosen Land" as written of in Ojibwa Prophesy. Great Falls and north central Montana had a very large Ojibwa population even in the 1890's. Ojibwa's were most numerous at the Great Falls region. Though 10,000's of Montana Ojibwa's fled Montana during 1876/1877's Montana Ojibwa War, 10,000's continued to remain at Montana. It deals with Ojibwa Prophesy. American leaders were already scheming to relocate Montana Ojibwa's during the 1870's or even the 1860's.
Commencing in 1895, American leaders set in motion eventual forced relocations of Montana Ojibwa's. Negotiations were held with leaders of Blackfeet Reservation, Cheyenne River Reservation, Chippewa/Munsee Reservation of Kansas, Columbia Reservation, Colville Reservation, Crow Reservation, Florida Ojibwa Reservations, Fort Apache/San Carlos Reservation, Fort Belknap Reservation, Fort Hall Reservation, Klamath Reservation of Oregon, Pine Ridge/Rosebud Reservation, Sauk/Fox Reservation of Iowa, Siletz Reservation of Oregon, Uncompahgre Reservation of Utah, Ute Reservation of Colorado and Utah and Wind River Reservation of Wyoming. Important dates to investigate are June 10, 1896 and June 7, 1897 as well as others. Land acts were approved by the United States on those dates. June 10, 1896 is a very important date. Forced relocations of Montana Ojibwa's were already in progress. Colonel Pershing and his American Soldiers and Little Bear and his Ojibwa Traitors Soldiers were rounding up 1,000's of Ojibwa's and bringing them to Great Falls to await forced relocations to their new Reservations!
Blackfeet Reservation leaders knew what was going on and were eager and greedy to cede the west portion of Blackfeet Reservation for $3 million. However, American leaders rejected the $3 million Blackfeet Reservation leaders demanded and forced Blackfeet Reservation leaders to cede over 800,000 acres of the west portion of Blackfeet Reservation for $1.5 million. Blackfeet Reservation leaders were not concerned because they knew the ceded land was for chief Rocky Boys Ojibwa Subjects. Later, they learned trickery (deception) was used by American leaders. It was identical at all other Reservations including RLR. RLR leaders were willing to cede nearly 900,000 acres of RLR for a substantial amount of money. Informed the ceded portion of RLR was for chief Rocky Boys Montana Ojibwa Subjects did not bother them. Allowing RLR men from the planned land cession areas to vote deals with allowing them rights to sell the nearly 900,000 acres. Of course, they agreed to cede the nearly 900,000 acres. Each received land allotments intended for chief Rocky Boys Montana Ojibwa Subjects and they sold them. RLR leaders could not halt the illegal actions. Since nearly 900,000 acres was ceded it means 100's of Montana Ojibwa's were relocated to RLR.
On December 28, 1895, 838,746 acres of RLR was ceded to chief Rocky Boys Montana Ojibwa Subjects. Many Reservations had now been prepared for chief Rocky Boys Montana Ojibwa Subjects to be forcefully relocated to. RLR leaders were betrayed and could do nothing to prevent the 838,746 acres from being illegally sold. After chief Rocky Boys Montana Ojibwa Subjects reached RLR, disappointment met them. Expecting land where they could settle, instead they had to merge with the Ojibwa population of RLR. American leaders schemed in private in 1889 to create "Fake News."
Violating prophesy is very serious. In 1889, American leaders conspired to violate Ojibwa Prophesy. Our "Chosen Land" is located at Montana and the surrounding region including parts of Canada. You'll have to read Ojibwa Prophesy to comprehend this information. Click here to read your prophesy. White leaders violated our prophesy. They're in serious trouble with the future! Leech Lake Reservation possibly dealt with 100's of chief Rocky Boys Montana Ojibwa Subjects being relocated to LLR in 1896 and 1897. Supposedly 1889's Nelson Act was approved to relocate all Minnesota Ojibwa's to White Earth Reservation. RLR was excluded. All other Minnesota Ojibwa Reservations were to be eradicated and the Ojibwa's of those Reservations relocated to White Earth Reservation. Sounds familiar! At LLR serious unrest commenced around 1896 and escalated in October 1898. Did American leaders actually intend to relocate Minnesota Ojibwa's to White Earth Reservation? For certain 1895's RLR land cession was involved. We can't forget the Pillager Ojibwa's who lived on the ceded RLR land. It was the RLR men from the ceded portion of RLR who voted. We are following evidence along the trail as prophesy instructs. Those RLR men who voted to cede didn't give a dam! They had to leave the ceded portion of RLR and they still didn't give a dam. We doubt if they protested because after selling chief Rocky Boys land they had money. Per acre, the price was $1.25. Each allottee received up to 600 or more acres. That's close to $1,000 when the allotment was sold. Many Ojibwa's from RLR's ceded portion simply relocated to RLR's diminished portion or to LLR or White Earth Reservation.
So why the violence at LLR in 1898? There's one obvious reason and that's LLR was to be eradicated and LLR's citizens relocated to White Earth Reservation. LLR Pillager Ojibwa's who protested lived at LLR's southeast or Pokagomin District. LLR created on May 7, 1864 almost has identical boundaries of today's Chippewa National Forest. After the violence of 1898 most were relocated to White Earth Reservation. Or was it chief Rocky Boys Montana Ojibwa Subjects who were not cooperative? Remember they were given RLR's ceded portion yet after reaching RLR they were betrayed! So disturbing was the predicament at LLR American leaders returned land which became known as Minnesota Forest Reserve. Chief Rocky Boy negotiated for land return successfully on June 27, 1902 when Minnesota Forest Reserve was created. On May 23, 1908, Minnesota Forest Reserve was renamed Minnesota National Forest. In 1928, it was renamed Chippewa National Forest. If chief Rocky Boys Montana Ojibwa Subjects were also relocated to LLR and White Earth Reservation in 1896 and 1897, much more land is involved. We only have violated information to investigate.
Note, the dark lines represent ceded portion of RLR. Also note that White Earth Reservation is adjacent to RLR. Where it reads "To Be Opened" at White Earth Reservation is use of trickery. Whites wanted White Earth Reservations west portion which has excellent famland. LLR from May 7, 1864 is located adjacent to RLR on the southeast. All three Reservations are one Reservation! You might think nothing of chief Rocky Boys Montana Ojibwa Subjects yet they were ceded RLR's 1895 land cession. It was they that instigated 1898's violence! Chief Rocky Boy didn't take kindly to being betrayed. He knew most Minnesota Ojibwa's considered him highest ranking Ojibwa leader!
