Minnesota Treaties, Winnebago, Dakota, Ojibwe, 1805 - 1889

The Midewiwin or Grand Medicine Society of the Ojibway University of Indiana Archives: 1600-1640. These historical documents were mostly compiled for presentation in the unsuccessful attempts of the Miami tribe of Indiana to achieve federal recognition, the University is putting some of this on-line as a library. Some really are old docs transcribed (Jesuit relations), some, like this are 19th-century, should be considered a source of what an observant white man, married to an Indian woman, who lived very briefly among Indians as an Indian Agent, observed and thought. A solid streak of racist contempt for Indian religions runs through this account.

Address-phone contacts for all Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan reservations -- federally-recognized only -- may be accessed through a table prepared from the BIA server in Washington. This link brings up the Minneapolis Area Office address and phone contacts listing, (Minneapolis area office is responsible for 3 states: Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan), with table) to official reservation names. The only info is address/phone contacts for the tribal offices (or area office and field agencies. People's names (usually tribal chairperson) are not necessarily up to date. The link list has been regrouped (from the BIA's irrational order) by state.

Clicking on Ojibwe or Dakota at the reservations list at the side of the MNrez imagemap will bring up a brief history of the Ojibwe and of the Dakota peoples centering on but not limited to Minnesota.

The sketches were written by Minnesota Wahpeton Dakota Ohiyesa (Dr. Charles A. Eastman) in 1916.
