Description
In 1807, the Chippewa Nation, Citizen Potawatomi Nation, Gaaching Ziibi Daawaa Anishinaabe, and Wyandot of Anderdon Nation ceded millions of acres of land to Ohio and Michigan. In exchange, the four designated tribes only received $10,000 collectively. After the treaty was signed, their lands in the area were reduced to reservation lands between 1 and 6 square miles.
