  • On October 5th, 1898, a fight erupted that would be remembered in history. The Battle of Sugar Point, also known as the Battle of Leech Lake, saw a small band of Pillager Ojibwe warriors hold off a much larger force of US soldiers. This clash marked the culmination of tensions between the Ojibwe and the US government, fueled by disputes over land rights, resources, and treatment of Native American people.
    Before the battle of Sugar Point, the Pillager band of Ojibwe or Chippewa from Leech Lake in Minnesota, were treated harshly by the settlers. Such was the case for all Indigenous people in North America at the time. Also, logging companies worked on deforestation of the land sacred to the Natives. All these problems led to what is today called "The last Native American uprising in the United States".

      Well, there was also the crazy snake rebellion in 1909, the bluff war in 1915, and the posey war in 1923.
      Although I think the bluff war was the last one with direct army intervention.

      @@loquat4440the last raid in the southwest was by “bronco Apache” from Mexico who lived their traditional way of life up into the 1930s, the last instance of a raid by them on US soil was in 1924 when they crossed the border into the U.S. after that they just lived in the Mexican mountains (Sierra madres) until the mid 1930s or so. Really cool stuff, highly recommend looking into the bronco Apache

      @patavinity1262 almost immediately after their trail of tears, when they were poor and had nothing, the choctaw nation donated $170 (a huge amount for the time) to help the irish during the famine. Ever since, ireland and the choctaw have had a great relationship, with the Irish returning the favour by helping choctaw study in Ireland and donating money to help them.

    Nothing is absolute: my grandmother from Rousseau County told me if it wasn't for First Nations teaching the Swedes and Norwegians how to boil bark to prevent pneumonia/scurvy/severe colds they would not have survived. By 1905 my grandparents would walk across the border and Homestead in the Rainy River District. Grandpa scouted and was a bull cook in the bush in Lake-of-the-Woods and spoke at least two native dialects. The Mennonite and Scandinavian communities traded all the time with natives. People homesteaded in the LOTW area from all over the world. A tiny United Nations.

    My brothers and I inherited 40 acres of hunting land on the crow wing river between motley and pillager. I used to go hunting up there all the time and always dreamt of building log cabin on it .but it was sore spot in our family because my brother wanted to sell to the pillager lumber mill they were cutting our trees anyway for years my grandpa n dad bought it after WW2 . So my grandpa told me long time ago it was near the assassination of chief hole in a day. The lawyer chief the tribe thought he was selling them out but he was wise and new he needed to negotiate in order to survive. Interesting history I am no longer bitter about my brother selling it .because it was once native land anyway .but now there is million dollar mansions on it two miles east of motley on crow wing river .had good times in old hunting shack from depression era.
