Nylon printed flag with the logo of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, a federally recognized tribe. This tribal nation is located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and is headquartered in Sault Ste. Marie, MI. The flag was purchased for use in the Anishinaabek: The Original People of this Place exhibit. 

“In the mid-1960s, the group included members from six historical Ojibwe bands: Sugar Island, Sault Ste. Marie, Drummond Island, Garden River, Grand Island and Point Iroquois. In the early 1970s, the leaders of the Original Bands of Chippewa Indians traveled to Washington and successfully submitted their historical findings and legal argument to the Secretary of the Interior, who granted the tribe federal status in 1972.”
