Red Lake Hereditary Chiefs
Miskwaagamiiwi-zaaga'igan
The modern-day Red Lake Nation has seven Hereditary Chiefs. The seven Hereditary Chiefs are the descendants of those chiefs who negotiated the 1889 Land Agreement for the Red Lake Band - establishing the Red Lake Band as a sovereign Nation.
The seven Chiefs serve for life in an advisory capacity to the Tribal Council. It is their job to work with the community to promote the culture, history, and heritage of the Red Lake people. |
