Leech Lake Indian Agency (Minnesota)

History
The Leech Lake Agency was established in 1874 and abolished in 1879. It was reestablished in 1899 to serve several bands of Chippewa Indians -- the Leech Lake Pillager, the Cass and Winnibigshish Pillager, the White Oak Point, and the Red Lake Bands -- living in Minnesota. In 1906, a separate Red Lake Agency was split off from the Leech Lake Agency. In 1922, the Leech Lake Agency was merged with the Fond du Lac, Grand Portage, Nett Lake, and White Earth Agencies to form the Consolidated Chippewa Agency.
