I merged content from a recently created article Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa into this already existing article at the full name for the band and redirected that page to this one. For GFDL purposes here is the history of that page. older ≠ wiser 01:47, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Since the article Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa was requested at Wikiproject Michigan, I had assumed that someone checked. I guess the "assume" thing is true. I have added the WPM logo. Jtmichcock 02:02, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
I can't where the "Constituent Tribes" described in the merged article and copied below are in fact actually associated with the Grand Traverse Band. As far as I can tell, they are separate entities. older ≠ wiser 02:06, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
The Little River Band Ottawa received federal recognition of status in September 1994 as a Native American tribe. Ottawa, or alternatively "Odawa" or "Odawu," derives either from the term "trader" or a truncated version of an Ottawa phrase meaning "at home anywhere people." Historically, the members of the Little River Band tribe are descendants of and politically successors to nine Ottawa Bands who were party to the Treaties of 1836 and 1855 of a total of nineteen bands listed as Grand River Band Ottawa. After the 1855 Treaty, all of the Ottawa Bands located from the Manistee River south to Grand River near or on the eastern shores of Lake Michigan were relocated to reservation lands in Mason and Ocaena Counties. The permanent villages of the Grand River Bands Ottawa, including those nine Bands now considered as Little River members, were located on the Thornapple, Grand, White, Pere Marquette and Big and Little Manistee rivers in Michigan’s western Lower Peninsula.
The Ottawa and Chippewa Treaty of Detroit was signed in in 1855 and created an Ottawa/Chippewa nation, but this was a legal fiction, inasmuch as the two tribes were unrelated.
The Homestead Act of 1862 was enacted by the United States Congress, promising ownership of 160-acre tracts to a head of a family after they had cleared and improved the land and lived on it for five years. By 1934, when the General Allotment Act of 1887 was repealed and the Indian Reorganization Act enacted, the Little River Bands did not owned any lands either collectively or in trust status. Vigorous lobbying led to their recognition in 1994.
The Ottawa tribal council governs the community; the Ogema (Chief) is the council chairperson. The tribe has jurisdiction over 380 acres (hectares)of land in trust status and an additional 220 acres used for housing. The tribe has 1,400 additional acres set aside for future tribal development. Gambling revenues are earmarked to support educational scholarships, health and substance abuse programs, early childhood projects, child welfare protection, law enforcement services and elderly initiatives.
The Chippewa (also "Ojibwe", "Ojibway", "Chippeway", "Anishinaabe", or "Anishinabek") are the largest group of Native Americans north of Mexico, including Métis. They are the third largest in the USA, surpassed only by Cherokee and Navajo. The Bay Mills Indian Community is located at the land base of the Sault Ste. Marie band of Chippewas. With the passage of the Indian Reorganization Act in 1934, the Bay Mills Indian Community was one of the four original reservations established in Michigan. In 1937, land was purchased for Bay Mills and the BMIC was organized with the adoption of their Constitution and Charter on November 27, 1937 in accordance with the Act. These lands, along with the original Bay Mills Mission and a small area on Sugar Island, comprise the majority of the current reservation land holdings in Chippewa County.
The tribe consists of approximately 1,309 registered members and is governed by the General Tribal Council, consisting of all voting-age members of the tribe. Daily decisions are made by the Executive Council, which consists of five elected officials (president, vice-president, treasurer, secretary, councilman). The Tribe's land base is approximately 3,494 acres (14.14 km²), of which 3,109 acres (12.58 km²) are in trust.
Bay Mills Community College is an accredited tribal college operated by the community.
Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa is a federally recognized tribe, but so is the the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians. If this article was on the Anishnaabe Tribes of Lower-Peninsula Michigan, then the grouping would be fine but since they are three Anishinaabe Subtribes forming Two Federal Tribes, the article need to be split to properly reflect the two Federal Tribes.

Believe that in order for a pix of Dennis Esquivel to be included in this article there should be additional text to support his inclusion. In respect, as a member of LRBOI & not Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians I am not deleting it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Denisebk (talk • contribs) 12:26, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
