The Turtle Mountain Chippewa Talking Trail was funded by the "Creating an Active America, Together effort. The Goal is to create active people, and a healthy Turtle Mountain Chippewa Tribe.
The Turtle Mountain Chippewa community is a vibrant multi-cultural community that includes traditions from the Ojibwe (Anishinaabe) people and the Metis/Cree people to create a culture that is both unique and beautifully colorful and vibrant.
The Mission of the Turtle Mountain Chippewa Indian Talking Trail is to further the efforts of the tribe to preserve, and promote the history, culture, and language of the Tribe in order to promote wellness within the community and surrounding communities by educating the public - especially the youth - of the beautiful, health, holistic, diverse and living cultures here, and how this can be used to benefit the lives of community members now, and in the generations to come.
We hope you enjoy Turtle Mountain Chippewa Talking Trail and the opportunity to learn more about the Tribe and its unique cultural heritage.
Miigwich!
Thank you!
