Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa

About

Our people once inhabited a vast area around Gichigami and throughout what is today Ontario and Minnesota. Our relatives lived among the spirits of this world and throughout the forests, rivers, and lakes of our territory. Today, we live, hunt, fish, and gather in the same territory as our ancestors.
The Grand Portage Reservation Tribal Government’s governing body is the Reservation Tribal Council. The Council consists of five elected members including three at-large Committee persons, a Secretary/Treasurer, and a Chairperson elected for staggered four-year terms.
