The Supplement Treaty with the Chippewa-Red Lake and Pembina Bands was held on October 2, 1863. During this time there was a pressure to remove the indigenous people of the Ojibwe tribe from the Red River of the North in Minnesota.

The Ojibwe tribe used the land for hunting and gathering while the land was starting to gain recognition as a trade route.

They were caught in a perpetual and never-ending cycle of wars of retribution. This confederacy was created to maintain peace between all five nations and to be aligned against foreign invasions. Becoming one of the most powerful Native American groups in the northeast, the confederacy relied on a council of sachems instead of a chiefdom system.
