Ojibwe, Odawa and Bodewadmi, purchased after two-and-a-half years of open warfare, decades of violent encroachment, and the defeat of a pan-Indian movement to keep settlers out of the Great Lakes region at the Treaty of Chicago in 1821, receiving their final payment before moving westward in 1835. The area was also a site of trade, gathering, and healing for more than a dozen other Native tribes. </span></font></div><font size="2"><div style="text-align:left"><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"><font color="#666666"> <br></font></font></div></font><font style="color:rgb(153,153,153)" size="2"><div style="text-align:left"><span style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"> </span><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"> </font><b style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> </b></div></font></div><div><div style="text-align:left"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font color="#999999"><br></font></span></div><div style="text-align:center"><font color="#999999"><br></font></div><font color="#999999"><br></font><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
