We are working to enhance this site, our goals are to help provide updated information on current issues involving the State of Michigan Including Our Residents of Michigan. Today, Urban Ottawa & Chippewa Individuals living within numerous communities are suppressed from reorganizing under the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act later passed by Congress. The Intent was good but the U.S Agencies created to oversee all Indian Affairs have NOT held up to the trust responsibility to the INDIVIDUAL Native Americans Party to Judgment Awards such as in Michigan Indian Land Claims. Sure reservation were now splint down into communities utilizing land claims & federal grants within the selected few communities. There were 2 parts to the MI Indian Land Claims court cases heard during the 1960s-1970s.....LINEAL DESCENDANTS....... Who will be the ones to be the BENEFICIARIES to MI Land Claims Judgment Awards & Trust Funds Set Aside for Lineal Descendants? U.S sent Horace Durant to Compile a Census of ALL MI Indians that would be Beneficiaries to the MI Land Claims. U.S requested Sault Ste. Marie Community Tribe to provide a list of all Lineal Descendants they enrolled that are BENEFICIARIES to the MI Land Claims......Sault Tribe Community Board of Directors REFUSED to honor this request in 2006, HIDING most ALL Mackinac AND Grand River Bands Indians. Why would this community tribe do this? They never had a land claims. So the only way to intercept Trust Funds was to Enroll ANY Beneficiaries to the Michigan Land Claims Settlement Act later awarded in 1998. Where do the Beneficiaries of the Ottawa & Chippewa Indians of Michigan live? Generations of Lineal Descendants continue to reside in the Lower Peninsula in the same communities as outlined in the 1795 Greenville Treaty.....Wayne County (Detroit) is home to more Native American Beneficiaries to land claims but are excluded from utilizing millions of trust funds awarded to the Lineal Descendants merely because the DOI has failed to honor their trust responsibility. Turning their backs has financial crippled Detroit including numerous communities! Why? Failure to Honor Michigan Ottawa And Chippewa Treatys! Dept of Interior can step up to the plate & correct the financial destruction they caused distributing INDIVIDUAL TRUST ACCOUNTS TO a selected few Reorganized Native Communities such as Sault Ste. Marie, Bay Mills. Bay Mills was approved in 1935 to enroll all Sault Ste. Marie, Bay Mills residents but they had to be at least 1/4 blood. The Original Sault Ste. Marie Residents & Their Descendants did not meet the Bay Mills Tribe criteria to participate as Beneficiaries to the MI Land Claims so before the Indian Claims Commission land claims court cases were even over, in 1972 a group of residents living in the Sault created their own separate tribe but enrolling ANY Native American who can trace their heritage to ANY Census Roll Compiled of the MI Indians.....By Enrolling the true Lineal Descendants, Beneficiaries to the MI Land Claims, the Sault group convinced the U.S to trust them with ALL Lineal Descendants (Trust Fund Babies) accounts merely so they could build a tribal government in their small community and creating a criteria PREVENTING the True Beneficiaries from even being able to reorganize as separate tribal communities according to treatys made within Lower Peninsula lands..... Cobbell class action suit was created to find MISSING Lineal Descendants to the Trust Funds already set aside for INDIVIDUAL Beneficiaries....Sault Tribe refuses to say who their 41,000 Members are...Mackinac And Grand River Bands are MISSING HEIRS...
