The Fight for Tribal Land: A Tale of Red Lake and Leech Lake Reservations
Roger Jordane, the first elected tribal chairman of Red Lake Band of Ojibwe, fought against pressures on tribal land. Red Lake Band of Ojibwe owns all of its land, providing a level of independence that is almost unparalleled. On the other hand, Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe owns less than 5% of their reservation. The difference in land ownership between the two tribes highlights the impact of the legal assault on Native people, which slowly stripped away their land and independence. The story of Red Lake and Leech Lake reservations demonstrates the devastating consequences of allotment and reveals their different paths and the challenges they face today.
