Project Homeland › Nations

Little River Band of Ottawa Indians, Michigan

Lands ceded to the United States by treaty, law or executive order, 1855, as Charles C. Royce recorded them in 1899 — 3,856 km² in 21 cessions across Michigan.

A cession records when the United States took title — not the full extent of a homeland, and much land was taken without any treaty. The link between each cession and present-day nations is the one the U.S. Forest Service and the National NAGPRA Program’s dataset records; the nation’s own account comes first.

Named in the treaties as: Chippewa of Michigan · Ottawa of Michigan
