KITCHIGUMIWININIWUG KITKADTJSSHADE 



[b. a. e. 



is probable that the Kitchigami formed 

 a part of the Kickapooorthe Mascbutens 

 tribe. They are not noted on Marquette's 

 true map, but are located on Thevenot's 

 so-called Marquette map, under the name 

 Kithigami, as immediately \v. of the Mis- 

 sissippi, opposite the mouth of Wiscon- 

 sin r. The fact that they drop so suddenly 

 and entirely from history would indicate 

 that they became known under some 

 other nauie. (c. t.)

Kitchigumiwininiwug ( ' men of the great 

 lake'). A collective term for those 

 Chippewa formerly living on and near 

 the shores of Lake Superior, in Michigan, 

 Wisconsin, and Minnesota. By the treaty 

 of Lapointe in 1854 the bands officially 

 recognized as "Chippewas of Lake Supe- 

 rior" were declared to be those living at 

 Fond du Lac (Minnesota), La Pointe, Lac 

 du Flambeau, Lac Court Oreilles (Wis- 

 consin), Desert lake, L'Anse, Ontonagon, 

 Grand Portage, and Bois Forte (Michi- 

 gan) . Their history, except as regards 

 treaty relations with the United States, is 

 the same as that of the southern Chippewa 

 (see Chippewa) . By the treaty of Fond 

 du Lac, Minn., Aug. 2, 1847, they joined 

 the Chippewa of the Mississipj^i in re- 

 linquishing their claim to a tract of land 

 about the mouth of Crow Wing r., Minn. 

 By treaty of Lapointe, Wis., Sept. 3, 

 1854, they ceded all their lands in upper 

 Michigan and n. Wisconsin, the United 

 States agreeing to reserve for the use of 

 each of said bands a specified tract within 

 the ceded area. By act of June 5, 1872, 

 the Secretary of the Interior was au- 

 thorized to remove, with their consent, 

 the bands from Lac du Flambeau, Lac 

 Court d' Oreilles, and Fond du Lac res. to 

 Bad Kiver res., but this removal was not 

 carried into effect, the Indians refusing 

 permission. By Executive Order of 

 Mar. 1, 1873, the reservation in Wiscon- 

 sin selected for the Lac Court Oreilles 

 band was approved. By order of Dec. 



20, 1881, a reservation at Vermillion 

 Lake, Minn., was set aside for the Bois 

 Forte band. The Executive order of 

 June 30, 1883, set apart the Deer Creek 

 res., Minn., for the same band. By 

 agreements of Oct. 24, Nov. 12, and Nov. 



21, 1889, the Grand Portage, Bois Forte, 

 and Fond du Lac bands ceded such of 

 their lands at Red Lake, Fond du Lac, 

 Bois Forte, and Deer Creek, as were not 

 needed for allotment. In 1867 they were 

 officially reported to number about 5,560; 

 in 1880,' 2,813; in 1905, 4,703.
