Ojibwe Treaty
| This document, sometimes cited as the “Statement made by the Indians, a bilingual petition of the Chippewas of Lake Superior, 1864,” was carried by an Ojibwe delegation to the U.S. Commission of Indian Affairs in Washington. It conveys the Ojibwe’s grievances concerning federal government actions over the previous decades, and explains their understanding of the various treaty negotiations conducted since 1825. It deals specifically with land cessions and tribal rights to timber, minerals, and wild rice. |
