The Mackinac Bands of Chippewa and Ottawa Indians (MBCOI) is actively working toward federal recognition to secure the rights, resources, and opportunities our community deserves and has agreed to by treaty with the U.S. government. This process involves many steps, but we remain committed to achieving recognition for the benefit of our people. We continue to work closely with Mshkawzi Law Firm and our lead counsel, Tanya Gibbs, as we navigate this journey. Stay connected for updates and ways to support our efforts.
