 | | While current tribal land is concentrated near the cities of Mt. Pleasant and Pinconning, the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe originally lived, hunted, fished and traded in southern and Midwestern areas of what is today's State of Michigan. |
 | | In 1855, the bands of Saginaw, Swan Creek and Black River were removed by Treaty to the Chippewa Township, Deerfield Township, Denver Township, Isabella Township, Nottawa Township, Union Township, and Wise Township. |
 | | Being located in the middle of Michigan, where they have lived for over 100 years, and close to their historic land base, the members of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe remain uniquely focused on the present and future, while still remembering the past. |
