Seeking information on what was called 'The Minnesota Indian Chippewa Tribe'?

Gail Greenfield Aug 1, 2020 12:40 AM

Hello, Does anyone have any information on what used to be called 'The Minnesota Indian Chippewa Tribe'? It is now part of White Earth Nation. All of my lineage is from there and I've had no luck getting records from them. A claim was closed by the Minnesota Indian Chippewa Tribe, initiated by them and they sent payments to my mother. They cut off the payments without notice and it's been impossible to reach them. I've sent emails, made phone calls and have no response. Thanks for your help.

Dear Ms. Greenfield,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

The National Archives only has custody of records created by the federal government that document tribal nations during American nationhood. NARA records would be of help in determining lineage, but any financial or claims issues are outside our purview. We suggest contacting the Bureau of Indian Affairs Minnesota Agency directly for more information about your claim.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
