[edit] Map for Anishinaabe territory
This is a request for a map generation showing "Anishinaabe territory" for the years between 1763 and 1825. Why these range of years? Well, 1763 was the year when the "Royal Proclamation" was signed by the British Crown, formally encompassing the Anishinaabe peoples into the British empire. For this map, I propose the core areas be shown as a solid area, but more transient or nomadic or disputed areas be shown as well but in ever fading degrees farther out one goes. 1825 is when the "Treaty of Prairie du Chien" was signed, formalising what constituted as "Anishinaabe territory", which before that time was considerably less formal, which is why a solid block would be highly inappropriate. So, here is my attempt at trying to characterise these areas.
[edit] Core areas
Core area is bounded by these cities/villages: Rice Lake (WI), North Branch (MN), Stanchfield, Isle, Garrison, Brainerd, Walker, Detroit Lakes, Grand Forks (ND), Devil's Lake, Rugby, Virden (MB), Dauphin, Red Lake (ON), Pickle Lake, Nakina, Timmins, Val d'Or (QC), Mont Laurier, Ste. Agathe de Monts, Lachute, Smiths Falls (ON), Peterborough, Toronto, London, Detroit (MI), Cold Water, Three Rivers, Barron Lake, Michigan City (IN), Gary, Chicago (IL), De Kalb, Rock Falls, Davenport (IA), Dubuque, Dodgeville (WI), Janesville, Elkhorn, Waukesha, West Bend, Sheboygan, continuing again at Escanaba (MI), Mount Iron, Anitgo (WI), Wausau, Chippewa Falls, and back to Rice Lake.
[edit] Transient/Nomadic/Disputed areas
Eau Claire (WI)(80%), Pepin (40%), Prescott (40%), St. Paul (MN) (40%), Minnesota River (40%), Browns Valley (40%), Bois de Sioux River (40%), Fargo (ND)(40%), Sheyenne River (40%), Harvey (20%), Manfred (20%), James River (20%), Redfield (SD)(20%), Pierre (20%), Missouri River (heading upstream)(20%), Missouri River (at Bismarck)(40%), Missouri River (at White Earth River) (60%), Missouri River (at Milk River)(MT)(40%), Milk River (40%), continental divide (heading north)(20%), Murray River (BC)(20%), Peace River (AB) (20%), Slave Lake (20%), Lac la Biche (20%), Meadow Lake (SK) (20%), down Churchill River (to Hudson Bay)(20%), continuing at Waskaganish (QC)(20%), Chibougamau (20%), down Saguenay River (20%), up the St. Lawrence River to Fort Erie, Erie (PA) (40%), Indian Head (40%), down French River (40%), down the Allegheny River to the Ohio River (20%), down the Ohio River to the Mississippi River (40%) extending a 30-mi buffer on the river's northshore (40%), up the Scioto River and down Sandusky River with 30-mile buffer about both shores of both rivers (40%), Lake Erie to Toledo with a 30-mi buffer from the shore (60%), Maumee River to Fort Wayne (60%), Eel River headwater (40%), to Elkhart River headwater (40%), down Elkhart River (60%), St. Joseph's River to South Bend (80%), to Kankakee River (60%), down Kankakee River (60%), down Illinois River to the Mississippi River (60%), up the Mississippi River to Burlington (IA) (40%), Burlington (40%), Cedar Rapids (40%), to mouth of the Wisconsin River (40%), up Wisconsin River (WI)(to Portage) (40%), Portage (40%), Waupun (40%), Fond du Lac (40%), Manitowoc (40%), continuting at Menominee (60%), Shawano (WI) (40%), Plover (80%), Wisconsin River to Yellow River (60%), Yellow River (60%), Neillsville (60%), Fairchild (60%), back to Eau Claire (80%).
[edit] Treaty cession areas
This will be a map request. There are treaty cession areas before 1825; maps zoomed into the area of these boundaries would be a good thing to have done in possibly three maps: British North America (?), United States and British Canada, especially since US areas were quite large and the British Canada areas were quite small and numerous. On these maps, the exterior boundaries of the combined treaties of each country probably would make the most sense, with then the various Treaty articles could pull in the nicely done Bureau of American Ethnology maps of specific treaty areas, without having to re-do all those maps, unless showing the areas when it crosses modern State/Province lines.
[edit] Map of Prairie du Chien Line
This is a map request. Superimposed onto this large coloured blob of the "Anishinaabe territory" map (but zoomed into western UP Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and eastern North Dakota rather than nearly the whole North American continent) would be a solid line marked "Prairie du Chien Line". The "line" has the following discription, if you use the Treaty of Prairie du Chien (1925) and its ammendments, using contemporary landmarks: Mouth of the Escanaba River (MI) to mouth of Fence River into the Menominee River (MI) to the falls of the Peshtigo River (WI), to Plover, to Dexter County Park on the Yellow River, up Yellow River and its south branch to its source, due west to Black River, continue west until due south of the source of Eau Claire River (South Branch), due north to the source of the Eau Claire River, down Eau Claire River to Chippewa River, down Chippewa River to I-94 bridge, to Cedar Falls (near Menomonie), to O'Brien State Park on the Mississippi River (MN), Forest Lake, Soderville (near Ham Lake), Isanti, to Blue Hill in Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge, Sartell, up Watab River and its south fork to its source lake, to the southern-most part of Pocket Lake near Douglas/Pope county line, to the inlet to Otter Tail Lake (NE corner), middle of the lake to outlet of Otter Tail Lake (SW corner), to the southern-most bend of Buffalo River near Hawley, down Buffalo River, up Red River (MN/ND), up Sheyenne River (ND), to East Devil's Lake along Spirit Lake Reservation boundary. This is a composite of Chippewa-Sioux, Chippewa-Winnebago and Chippewa-Menominee lines. I will need to look up and get back on the Sioux-Winnebago and Winnebago-Menominee lines.
[edit] Map of Saugeen Ojibway Nation Territory
This is a map request. It will be a gradiated map. The requested map for the Saugeen Ojibway Nation Territory would have two kinds of information contained within it: people and land. For the people, the northern half of Bruce Peninsula will be 100% fill. From Colpoys Bay southward (using Owen Sound/Sydenham River as a boundary) and all of Saugeen River watershed: 80%. From the 80% shade's boundaries, a 20km buffers each decreasing by 20% intervals down to 0%. This shading would reflect the diffusion of the traditional population areas since a definite confined boundary would be inappropriate. For the land, three types of information would be provided: Boundaries of the Treaty-Ceded Territory, non-Ceded Territory and the contemprary Reserves. For these three, definite boundaries are appropriate Outline would be the appropriate way to show the Treaty-ceded Territory. An arrow pointing at the land area not in any of the Treaty Cessions would be appropriate for the non-Ceded Territory. A coloured block area for each of the contemporary First Nation Reserves set aside from the Saugeen Ojibway Nation Territory would also be appropriate.
