 | | Armed with this map, Oklahoma's Ottawa Tribe, which originally planned to file a federal lawsuit in January laying claim to the northern half of North Bass Island, now wants the entire 677-acre island, both public and private lands. |
 | | The tribe, now numbering about 2,000, thrived in much of what is now northwest Ohio during the 1700s, using North Bass as a post in the fur trade. |
 | | The Ottawa, however, now maintain that North Bass Island, also known as the Isle of St. George, was on the British side of the U.S.-Canadian border at the time of the 1805 treaty and was not affected by it. |
