TheOntonagon Indian Reservation is the homeland of a branch of theLake Superior Chippewa Tribe. Its twelve bands were located throughout Michigan and the Upper Midwest.
Since theIndian Reorganization Act of 1934, members of the former Ontonagon Band have been included as part of the federally recognizedKeweenaw Bay Indian Community, successor apparent to this and the Ojibwe (as the Chippewa are known) of the former L'Anse Band. The combined peoples live primarily at theL'Anse Indian Reservation at the western end ofLake Superior.[1]
The Ontonagon Reservation is located in northeasternOntonagon Township, in northeasternOntonagon County, on the south shore ofLake Superior, about 20 km northeast of the village ofOntonagon, Michigan, United States.
