In the Treaty of 1837, Mille Lacs Band and other Ojibwe tribes reserved the right to harvest natural resources off-reservation. Minnesota officials soon enacted an ongoing policy rejecting treaty agreements. Wenji-Bimaadiziyaang tells the story of the political and legal fight to reaffirm Ojibwe treaty rights in the Minnesota 1837 Territory.
