Pillager Band of Chippewa Indians
- Pillager Band of Chippewa Indians
Pillager Band of Chippewa Indians (or simply the Pillagers; "Mekamaadwewininiwag" in the Ojibwe language) are a historical band of Chippewa (Ojibwe), originally living at the headwaters of the Mississippi River.Through the treaty process with the United States, the Pillager Band were settled on reservations in north-central Minnesota. Majority were placed on three reservations, established in 1855:
* Cass Lake Reservation
* Lake Winnibigoshish Reservation
* Leech Lake Reservation
Through additional treaties with the United States, the Leech Lake and Lake Winnibigoshish Reservations nearly doubled each of their sizes. When the White Earth Reservation was created, the Pillagers living about Otter Tail Lake agreed to relocation to that reservation. In 1934, the Cass Lake, Lake Winnibigoshish and Leech Lake Pillagers, together with the White Oak Point Reservation of the Mississippi Chippewa and the Removable Lake Superior Chippewa Bands of the Chippewa Reservation, agreed to a merger and re-organization to form the contemporary Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe on the Leech Lake Indian Reservation.
The successors inherent of the Pillagers are:
* Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe
* White Earth Band of Chippewa
