The People
The Turtle Mountain Chippewa people are Plains Indians though not the stereotypical TV and movie sort, engaged in picture-show battles with the U.S. cavalry. The Chippewa have a long history of business association and intermarriage with non-Indians going back to the seventeenth century, making possible the North American fur trade. Turtle Mountain Chippewa have always been an industrious and adaptable people. By 1800, they were already gaining fame for the production of Red River Carts. Trains of these two-wheeled conveyances comprised the main freightliners of the 1800's, connecting major cities of the Northwest before railroads came. The cartwheels would come off to be used when needing to cross the river to float their supplies.
