RED LAKE RESERVATION COVERS 1200 SQUARE MILES IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA. IT IS IT IS CENTERED NEAR RED LAKE. SEVEN OTHER COUNTIES ARE PART OF THE RESERVATION. THE RED LAKE BAND OF CHIPPEWA WAS THE MOST POPULOUS RESERVATION IN THE STATE WITH 5100 RESIDENTS.
ALLIED WITH THE REMBINA BAND OF CHIPPEWA INDIANS, THE RED LAKE BAND NEGOTIATED THE TREATY AND MADE ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS IN THE FOLLOWING DECADES. SOME OF THEIR RESERVATION LAND WAS CEDED TO THE GOVERNMENT. ABOUT 40% ARE BELOW POVERTY LINE. MANY PEOPLE FIND IT HARD TO FIND EMPLOYMENT.
SOME FOLKS SUGGEST RENEWING THE TRIBES TRADITIONS. THEY BELIEVE THEY NEED TO FOCUS ON EDUCATION AND FIND WAYS TO FOCUS ON EDUCATION. THAT WAY THEY WILL GET PAID ADEQUATE WAGES. CRIME AND POVERTY ARE ISSUES THEY ARE WORKING ON. THE RESERVATION HAS CASINOS AND A MOTEL.
