Pembina Band of Chippewa Indians
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pembina Band of Chippewa Indians are a historical band of Chippewa (Ojibwe), originally living along the Red River of the North and its tributaries. Through the treaty process with the United States, the Pembina Band were settled on reservations in Minnesota and North Dakota. Few tribal members refusing settlement in North Dakota relocated westward, eventually settling in Montana. The successors inherent of the Pembina Band are:
- Chippewa Cree Tribe of the Rocky Boys Indian Reservation (in part)
- Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana (in full)
- Red Lake Band of Chippewa (in part)
- Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians (in full)
- White Earth Band of Ojibwe (in part)
In addition, Little Shell Pembina Band of North America, a militia-type group made up of one former Little Shell Chippewa family, white militia members, and one Indonesian who attempted a coup against the government of Fiji, also claim as a successor inherent of the Pembina Band.
