1836 Treaty of Washington and the 1855 Treaty of 
Detroit. The treaty signatories were twice recognized 
by the United States, on a government-to-govern-
ment relationship basis, through the execution and 
ratification of those treaties. 
(2) The 1836 Treaty of Washington provided 
that the Cheboigan Band would receive a reservation 
of 1,000 acres on the Cheboigan, within its aborigi-
nal territory, for a period of 5 years after ratifica-
tion of that treaty but the United States failed to 
provide that reservation. The 1855 Treaty of Detroit 
provided that Ottawa and Chippewa Indians could 
select individual allotments of land within designated 
reserves, and 2 townships were set aside for selec-
tion by the ‘‘Cheboygan Band’’ in Cheboygan Coun-
ty. Those members who selected allotments within 
that area were not awarded those individual land 
holdings until 3 years after a special Act of Con-
gress was passed in 1872. 
(3) Between 1845 and 1850 the Band’s mem-
bers used treaty annuity payments to purchase land 
for the Band in Burt Township, Cheboygan County,

(1) Research shows that socioeconomic status 
and family background characteristics are highly 
correlated with educational outcomes, with a con-
centration of low-performing schools in low-income 
and under-served communities. 
(2) Teachers cite poor working conditions, stu-

(3) Teachers and principals working for low-in-
