Ojibwa battle of the River Themes plaque, Ont

 1813 At the Battle of the River Thames Chippewa Chief Oshawana was Tecumseh’s head warrior.[63] With Tecumseh's death in this battle he became the head indigenous warrior of southwestern Upper Canada stoutly supporting the British.  The Americans won this battle giving them control of lower Canada.  wikicommons

 In 1968 Dennis Banks of the Leech Lake band co-founded AIM with Clyde Bellecourt of White Earth, aka the American Indian Movement in Minneapolis, MN. They wanted systemic issues of poverty, discrimination, and police brutality experienced by Native Americans addressed[321] Very quickly the focus widened to include treaty rights, unemployment rates, the lack of Native American topics in schools, and the preservation of Indigenous cultures.[321][322] The Chippewa/Ojibwa historic ties to Tecumseh via Chiefs Shin-ga-ba W'Ossin and Oshawana, should be noted as historic antecedents to AIM. Other Ojibwa associated with the AIM movement were Vernon Bellecourt, Clyde's brother and Leonard Peltier, of the Turtle-Mountain band. He was convicted in the deaths of two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Reservation in 1975.

Manitoba Indian Brotherhood, MIB  In Canada the MIB was the Canadian verison of AIM. The MIB was formed in the late 1960s also. The MIB was replaced by the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) whose first leader was, Louis Stevenson, Chief of Peguis First Nation Ojibwa. During her 1970 visit Queen Elizabeth met with the MIB.[323]


 The use of the term "First Nations" evolved with the Indigenous activism of the MIB and their emphasis of Indigenous identity.   The Constitution Act, 1982, laid out the legal framework for Aboriginal rights in Canada.

Pipestone Indian School students ca.1914 (author's collection)

The Chippewa Ojibwa attended many schools built by anglo-europeans from the earliest contact.  The first schools were the work of religious missionaries.  Their involvement continued once the British Crown and U.S. Government took over providing indigenious eduction.  In addition,  fur trading companies hired teachers to establish schools at their trading posts  Frederick Ayer was hired by the American Fur Company in 1830 to open a school at the AFC La Pointe trading post.  The next year Ayer moved his classroom to the AFC's main inland post at Sandy Lake.  From there he moved his classroom to Fort Ripley.  In the territory of the British Crown the Meathodists opened a school at Alderville that would be promoted as a model to be adopted by the rest of the domain in 1848.  In the U.S. different types of schools evolved.   One of those was the "off reservation" boarding school.  Amongst that group was a unique school at the Yankton Pipestone Reservation, as no one lived on that reservation.  So, Pipestone had to recruit students to attend as though it was one of the "off reservation" boarding schools.  The BIA took the land for the Pipestone school from the Yankton Pipestone reservation without consent of the Yankton tribe, making it somewhat unpopular with the tribe.  Due to the majority of native Dacotah having been evicted from Minnesota, the school Superintendent at Pipestone went to the Ojibwa Chippewa reservations to recruit until the BIA prohibited the practice.  So, even though Pipestone sat on Sioux land the majority of the student population, during it's existance, would come by train from the Chippewa reservations in the north.  During the early years, a Chief from White Earth was part of the school staff.  In 1891 the BIA made school attendance manditory for native american children.  While most states had cumpulsory attendence laws in 1891 not all did.  

 Historically, States dealt with and provided for "orphaned, destitute, and neglected children".  The BIA  did not do the same for Indian children.   The Cherokee Nation created their orphan asylum in 1879 to deal with the issue  For some tribes the boarding schools were a means to address the children's issue.    It is what the Ojibwa did in Minnesota and what a the Eklutna did in Alaska.

OTHER "INDIAN" SCHOOLS:


1833 Treaty of Chicago  $5,000 was allocated for the Chippewa, Ottawa, and Potawatamie tribe's children to attend the Choctaw Academy, the first boarding school in the U.S.[74] $5,000.00 equates to $187,895.24 in 2024.


1879 The Carisle Indian School opened.  Numerous Chippewa students applied to and attended.  Their files are available at:

1900 The Carisle School band played the 1900 Paris Exhibition or World's Fair.   Louise LaChapelle of the Leech-Lake tribe made the trip.  Her school file indicates she was progressive for her time. https://carlisleindian.dickinson.edu/sites/default/files/docs-ephemera/NARA_1327_b047_f2343.pdf


The first Chippewa boarding School in Michigan opened in 1893:  Mount Pleasant Indian Industrial Boarding School and closed 1933.  It had students from both Wisconsin and Minnesota.


Wisconsin had Chippewa boarding schools:  Hayward Indian Boarding School, 1901-1934.  The student population  was mostly Lac Courte Oreilles band.    There was also the

Government Boarding School at Lac du Flambeau (on reservation) 1895-1935.


1871  The first boarding school in Minnesota opened at White-Earth.  The school newspaper was the "The Chippeway Herald ", 


1902  Another school for the Chippewa was the Morris Industrial School for Indians which opened as a Catholic School 1887-96.  BIA reopened 1898-1909.

PITS, one school's chronology:


In 1889 plans and specifications for a Indian School at Pipestone were drawn up.[274]  Attendence at the non-reservation boarding schools was by application.   The length of attendence was specified by the parent on the application.  For Pipestone that was never an issue as many years there were more applications than beds.  The Yankton Pipestone site was a culturally significant location for numerous tribes due to the revered red catlinite quarried there.


In 1890 it was reported tribes had requested a school at the Yankton tribe's Pipestone Reservation.[275] An  appropriation of $30,000 was requested and $25,000 was approved. The Bureau of Indian Affairs took 100 acres of the reservation land to build the Pipestone Indian Industrial School adjacent to the Pipestone Quarry. The Yankton people long contested that loss and won before the Supreme Court years later. It was one of the BIA's 25 non-reservation boarding schools and amongst the last to be closed. When the school opened the majority of native Americans in Minnesota were Ojibwa and they dominated the school's enrollment throughout it's history. The school had grades 1-8 with a split curriculum, mornings and afternoon groups switching: academics and occupation skills. The school fielded both girls and boys sports teams[276] [277] [278] Post WWI, the Pipestone student body became more diverse, but White-Earth remained the primary source of students until the school closed. Attendance was voluntary and by application. The School superintendent made visits to reservations both in and outside Minnesota to recruit students. The circumstances for the attendance of orphans at the school are not published. In 1952, last year the school was supposed to be open, over 300 students wanted to attend, however due to budget reductions only 130 from Minnesota were accepted. Post WWII newspapers portray the school's secondary tasking as an orphanage.[279] [280] Leaders of the Chippewa were against closing Pipestone School until something could be done to place the kids in permanent situations.[281] 

Despite it's location on the Yankton Pipestone reservation it was considered an off-reservation school because their was no resident population.


1891 The Yankton tribe filed a complaint that the school would be placed on the Yankton Pipestone reservation not adjacent to it.[282][283]


1893 The Pipestone Superintendent passed through Marshall, MN with three groups of kids. Two were from White-Earth and Mille-Lacs. The third were Sioux he brought via St Paul.[284]


1894 the Avoca Catholic boarding school for Indian girls closed. The students were transferred to Pipestone and Flandreau after permission was received from the parents.[285]


1895 The Superintendents of the Indian schools at Pipestone and Pierre S.D. both went to White-Earth looking to enroll students. Pipestone got 8 or 9.[286]


1897 Six bright students were escorted back to the Rosebud Agency when classes ended in the Spring [287] In the Fall it was reported 67 Ojibwa children from the Detroit Lakes area were enroute to Pipestone.[288][289]


1899 C.J. Crandall, the first Superintendent of Pipestone wrote that the legends surrounding the red Pipestone were mostly the creations of the "white man".[290][291]


1900 Congress considered buying the Pipestone Reservation[292]


1901 Pipestone's students won 12 bronze medals in Agricultural Products at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York.[293][294]


1902 School enrollment reported at 135 mostly Chippewa.[295][289]


1904 Bids were solicited to provide 35,000 pounds of beef for the school. The desired cuts were specified as well as what would be rejected.[296]


1905 The White-Earth Tomahawk reported the Pipestone School matron, Miss Roy, returned for the new school year accompanied by many White Earth students.[297] White Earth Chief William Madison was the Boys Advisor at Pipestone.[298]


1906 The first 3 students to graduate at Pipestone were Clem Fairbanks, Willie Coffey, and Willie McIntosh from White-Earth. In 1906 enrollment was 215.[299]


1908 the BIA prohibited non-reservation school superintendents from going to reservations and recruiting students.[300] The head of the BIA felt too much money was being spent on the training programs at the non-reservation schools and that they should have the same curriculums as public schools.


1912 the students began publishing a school newspaper that some claim make it the first indigenous newspaper in the country.[301] However, The Oglala Light began publishing at the Oglala Indian Training School in Pine Ridge, South Dakota in 1900.


ca. 1914 Two girls displaying a large example of Ojibwa beadwork at Pipestone.[302]


1915 Congress Approbations for the Minnesota Chippewa: Pipestone School $51,725, $4,000 support of the Chippewa school of the Mississippi bands. A request was made to reserve the mineral rights of all tribal land taken by the whites. Another provision was made for a welfare payment be authorized for any tribal member that was destitute, ill, or incapacitated.[303]


1916 The BIA allocated Indian schools $167/student while PITS was spending $224/student[304] In 1914 the boys made the Tri-state Indian school championship.[305]


1918 School enrollment reported at 165: Chippewa 75, Sioux 55, Winnebago 19, Omaha 19.[289] During commencement PITS displayed a service banner with 35 stars for former students in uniform for WWI.[306]


1927 school enrollment was 340 the school's maximum, many applications were turned down[307]


1927 The school boyscouts preformed Longfellow's Song of Hiawatha for the first time.  It became a annual school activity that was later adopted as a community activity.  A Charles Morrison was a student from 1910- 1924 who later returned as a teacher.  He was helped later, non-native, preformers learn the correct pronunciation of the Ojibwa words used in the play. (Pipestone Administrative History NM Chapter VIII, NPS 2025,  https://www.nps.gov/parkhistory/online_books/pipe/adhi8.htm )


1930 school enrollment was 315. 375.In 1930 the football team went 7-3 scoring 220 pts vs. their opponents 72. It was notable as almost all their opponents were High schools and Pipestone only went to the 9th grade. The team represented 11 tribes: Chippewa 5, Sioux 5, Gros Ventre 2, Akira 2, Sac-Fox 2, Winnebago 1, Omaha, 1, Oneida 1, and Cheyenne 1. The toughest game was against the Flandreau Indian School team.[308]


In 1932 Pipestone had it's largest enrollment. That year a Hospital was built on the school campus.[309] The building was demolished in 1999.

1940 Applications for enrollment far exceeded school capacity with many turned down to get to the preferred number of 320.


1936  Adam Fortunate Eagle Nordwall and his four brothers arrived from Red Lake and state that enroolment was 136.  He also states that 54 of those student entered military service for WWII and that the school prepared them for it. .https://www.pipestonestar.com/articles/band-of-warriors/


1941 The boys basketball team made the news. It was reported that they had won a tournament two years running and were returning. They were noted for defeating the opposition routinely by 15-25 points. Because of this they had to travel over 100 miles to play teams they would or could compete with them.[310]


1947 enrollment demographics and costs per student reported. [311]


1948 the BIA proposed closing all Indian schools. The people of Pipestone said all the other schools could close except Pipestone. Because of the historical significance of the adjoining Pipestone Reservation, it should be exempted. In 1948 the Minnesota Welfare Board insisted that the Pipestone Indian School remain. The governor of Minnesota wrote numerous letters that "many of these children have no homes, no family's, or places to go". [312] That year the school and hospital closures were put off for a year.[313]


1948 Was the last year the School put on the Song of Hiawatha play due to the pending closure.  The local community assumed production in 1949.


1949 The school had nearly 400 applications but only 125 were accepted due to reduced funding. Most of those were year round residents. They did not have homes to return to during summer because they were orphans.[314] That year Minnesota U.S. Senator H.H. Humphrey made efforts on behalf of keeping Pipestone open. Le Sueur News-Herald, Mar. 9, 1949, Minnesota Digital Newspaper Hub, 2024, MNHS, St. Paul MN [244]. Communities throughout Minnesota and South Dakota opposed the closing of the Indian School and the Hospital.[315]


In 1952 $135,000 was authorized to fund Pipestone's a last year of operations. That figure equals $1,582,819.32 in 2024 dollars or $12,662/student for 125 students.


1953 the School was scheduled for closure however, $250,000 was appropriated for the 1953-54 school year. The Indian Bureau diverted $72,000 of that money for the Minnesota foster care program for the placement of Pipestone students. The Bureau was ordered to  return the monies as well as any Pipestone students it had placed.[316]  The Chippewa opposed the closing of the Pipestone school[317][318]


*   1953 Termination Act:

House Concurrent Resolution 108 (H. Con. Res. 108), passed August 1, 1953, declared it to be the sense of Congress that it should be policy of the United States  government to abolish federal supervision over American Indian Tribes as soon as possible and to subject the Indians  to the same laws, privileges, and responsibilities as other U.S. citizens. This includes an end to reservations and tribal sovereignty, integrating Native Americans into mainstream American society.

In 1855 Henry Wadsworth Longfellow places the Chippewa at Pipestone in his Song of Hiawatha. He wrote "Here Gitche Manitou called all the tribes together".


2008 Was the last year the Song of Hiawatha was preformed at Pipestone ending what the students started over 70 years before.


Chief William Madison made the newspapers after his tenure at PITS. In 1940 he held a press conference with the media concerning the failure of the State to erect monuments acknowledging significant Chippewa history,[319] A decade later, in 1950, he ran for the office of State Senator for Minneapolis.[320]
