Historically, the Otter Tail Chippewas have lived in the Otter Tail Lake region of Minnesota, since at least the early 16th century. Prophecy played an important role in their daily affairs. They combatted the Dakota People who may have lived in that region before them. Dakota People did not cooperate with the prophecy weary Chippewas and eagerly formed an alliance with both the English and French who supplied them with guns. Those guns were why the Dakota People were capable of preventing the Chippewas from completly subjugating them. After the whites reached treaty agreements with the Otter Tail Chippewas who are really the Pillager Chippewas and Pembina Chippewas, land cessions followed and a large Reservation was set aside for both the Otter Tail Chippewas and Gull Lake Chippewas. | |||

White historians are not being honest about those two Reservations. They were really Chippewa Reservations. Below is a map of the Otter Tail Chippewa Reservation and the Gull Lake Chippewa Reservation. The Otter Tail Chippewa Reservation has the number 269, while the Gull Lake Chippewa Reservation has the number 268. After the United States broke treaty promises, a new Gull Lake Chippewa Reservation was created. You'll notice it borders the old Gull Lake Reservation on the north. The Chippewa Otter Tail Reservation has never been resolved. According to white historians, no Indians either lived or relocated to the Otter Tail Lake Reservation. However, it is well known that the Otter Tail Chippewas were living around Otter Tail Lake well into the 1870s. Look at the map carefully. Otter Tail Lake is within the northwestern part of the Otter Tail Lake Reservation. | |||
