1854 Treaty Authority

The 1854 Treaty Authority is an inter-tribal natural resource management organization dedicated to protecting and implementing the off-reservation hunting, fishing, and gathering rights for the Grand Portage and Bois Forte bands. Established under the Treaty of La Pointe in 1854, the authority operates within the 5.5 million acres of the 1854 Ceded Territory, ensuring sustainable resource management and compliance with tribal regulations.

In addition to enforcing treaty rights, the 1854 Treaty Authority offers educational resources, outreach initiatives, and conservation efforts to support the tribes' natural resources. They also provide tools such as the 1854 Interactive WebMap, which assists band members in locating areas suitable for harvesting activities.
