Around this time the Amikwa Chippewas who lived between the eastern shores of Lake Superior, northern shores of Lake Huron, to the Lake Nipissing region in Ontario, were driven west. They settled along the northern shores of Lake Superior. By the 1670s, many had returned to their original homeland but many followed prophecy and migrated west into Alberta, British Columbia, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and California. The Amikwa are also known as the '''Nez Perce'''. Amikwa means Beavers in Chippewa. The '''Beaver Tribe including the Sekani''', of British Columbia are Amikwa Chippewas. | Around this time the Amikwa Chippewas who lived between the eastern shores of Lake Superior, northern shores of Lake Huron, to the Lake Nipissing region in Ontario, were driven west.

''' | By 1700, the Chippewas of the Lake Superior region had halted the advance of the white invaders. They had actually halted the advance of the white invaders and their Indian allies, during the 1670s. '''King Phillips War''' may have been an attempt by the Chippewas to drive the whites out of North America. Anyway, by 1700, Chippewa soldiers were preventing the whites from advancing further to the west and north. | ||

'''1754-1765:''' | |||
A long war was fought during these years between Chippewa soldiers and the white invaders. Chippewa soldiers were yet strong enough to halt the westward advance of the white invaders. | |||

'''1774-1795:''' | |||
Another long war was fought between Chippewa soldiers and the white invaders. By this time many Chippewas, especially to the south, were tired of fighting. The more southerly Chippewas had absorbed many non Chippewa Indians and they were prone to accept peace or stay nuetral. Land cessions commenced with the 1795 Greeneville Treaty. | |||

More corrupt land cessions followed, then the War of 1812. After the War of 1812, the Chippewas of Michigan commenced to cede land and Reservations were created for them. However, the United States refused to honor treaty. | |||

''' | During these two years an event happened in Michigan and Ohio which led to a large Chippewa Exodus from the Michigan and Ohio region, to the west. That be to the Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma region. The '''Toledo War '''is very suspicious. Although it was a war without deaths, it has been classified as a war. Through treaty agreement, the United States created a large Chippewa Reservation for the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Michigan. They claim Michigan was given 3/4 quarters of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, in exchange for a narrow strip of land claimed by both Michigan and Ohio called the Toledo Strip. It covered 468 sq. mi. It was given to Ohio. | ||
In 1893, a newstory went nationwide which told readers that the entire Upper Peninsula of Michigan was Chippewa land or a Chippewa Reservation. The '''Toledo War '''is the link (proof) that in fact the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is a Sault Ste.
