The Chippewa Cree Tribe (Ne Hiyawak) is a federally recognized tribe based on the Rocky Boy's Reservation in north-central Montana. The tribe is a combination of the Rocky Boy's Band of Chippewas and the Little Bear Band of Cree. Formed by Chippewa (Ojibwe) and Cree peoples, the tribe is known for its strong, distinct culture, a 117,365-acre reservation established in 1916, and an economy based on agriculture and livestock. The tribe speaks Cree and Ojibwe, often referring to themselves as Ne Hiyawak ("those who speak the same language"). They share a rich heritage with strong, independent, and, in some cases, migratory traditions, especially for the Cree. It shows good condition overall with little to no wear present and no signs of damage noted. It measures 6.25"W x 22.5"L x 1.625"D, weight 1lb 6 oz. TURKEY FEATHERS
