Abstract

This ethnohistorical study was written to provide background for the Indian Claims Commision in the settlement of numerous suits and claims by Native Americans against the federal government. The monograph presented here, derrived from documents of the Indian Claims Commision, the National Archives, and numerous historical journals and narratives, relates to the Chippewa occupying what is now northwestern Minnesota and northeastern North Dakota (generally referred to in the text as Area 445). The material in this report falls into four main periods: the traditional, early contact, the settlement and the treaty periods, which range from the early eighteenth century to the 1860s. Much reliance is placed on the journal and narrative accounts of Alexander Henry, Lewis and Clark, Tanner, Ross, and West, as well as other historical sources. Ethnographic topics relate to the fur trade, warfare, early locations and settlements, the food quest (mostly hunting and fishing), and treaties between the U.S. government and the Chippewa and the Chippewa and the Sioux.
