The Battle Of Sugar Point 1898 || Ojibwe vs US Army

On October 5th, 1898, a fight erupted that would be remembered in history. The Battle of Sugar Point, also known as the Battle of Leech Lake, saw a small band of Pillager Ojibwe warriors hold off a much larger force of US soldiers. This clash marked the culmination of tensions between the Ojibwe and the US government, fueled by disputes over land rights, resources, and treatment of Native American people.
Before the battle of Sugar Point, the Pillager band of Ojibwe or Chippewa from Leech Lake in Minnesota, were treated harshly by the settlers. Such was the case for all Indigenous people in North America at the time. Also, logging companies worked on deforestation of the land sacred to the Natives. All these problems led to what is today called "The last Native American uprising in the United States".

    Nothing is absolute: my grandmother from Rousseau County told me if it wasn't for First Nations teaching the Swedes and Norwegians how to boil bark to prevent pneumonia/scurvy/severe colds they would not have survived. By 1905 my grandparents would walk across the border and Homestead in the Rainy River District. Grandpa scouted and was a bull cook in the bush in Lake-of-the-Woods and spoke at least two native dialects. The Mennonite and Scandinavian communities traded all the time with natives. People homesteaded in the LOTW area from all over the world. A tiny United Nations.

I used to go hunting up there all the time and always dreamt of building log cabin on it .but it was sore spot in our family because my brother wanted to sell to the pillager lumber mill they were cutting our trees anyway for years my grandpa n dad bought it after WW2 . So my grandpa told me long time ago it was near the assassination of chief hole in a day. The lawyer chief the tribe thought he was selling them out but he was wise and new he needed to negotiate in order to survive. Interesting history I am no longer bitter about my brother selling it .because it was once native land anyway .but now there is million dollar mansions on it two miles east of motley on crow wing river .had good times in old hunting shack from depression era.
