The Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, comprised of the Bois Forte, Fond du Lac, Grand Portage, Leech Lake, Mille Lacs, and White Earth reservations, is a federally recognized tribal government that, through unified leadership, promotes and protects the member Bands while providing quality services and technical assistance to the reservation governments and tribal people.
Creation of the Constitution
MCT was created in order to form a united Chippewa Tribal organization whose purpose and function is to conserve and develop Tribal resources and common property that would promote the general welfare of its members and future generations. This required the Ojibwe Bands of Minnesota, and other Tribal Nations in Minnesota, to conform to the Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) in 1934 in order to take advantage of the economic and social development programs proposed by the United States.
We are proud to have this opportunity to share information about the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe with our members and with other interested parties. Please visit the website to learn more about the functions, programs, and services of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe.
