The Mille Lacs Band became part of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe in the 1930s , but this caused a dispute with the Mille Lacs Indians and the Sandy Lake Band Of Mississippi Chippewa . The Sandy Lake Band had been recognized as an independent tribe up until it was mentioned as part of the Mille Lacs band when a Constitution was created. The Sandy Lake Band is no longer independently recognized by the United States Federal Government , although it retains its own reservation and community, the ''Gaa-mitaawangaagamaag '', in Mille Lacs Band District II. The ''Minisinaakwaang'' ( East Lake ) Community of the Rice Lake Band of Mississippi Chippewa is located approximately 6 miles (10 km) south of McGregor, MN . Minisinaakwaang houses the Mille Lacs Band District II Community and Government Services Center. District III of the Mille Lacs Band, located primarily in Pine County, is comprised of the ''Ne-zhingwaakokaag'' ( Pine City -Pokegama Lake) community of the Snake and Knife Rivers Band of the St. Croix Band of Chippewa, ''Gaa-zhiigwanaabikoogaag'' ( Hinckley ) and ''Asiniganiing'' ( Sandstone ) communities of the Kettle River Band of St. Croix Band of Chippewa, and the ''Aazhoomog'' ( Lake Lena ) Village of the St. Croix Band of Chippewa. Though historically forming the western half of the St. Croix Chippewa Indians , the contemporary St. Croix Band located east of the St. Croix River is considered a Federally Recognized Tribe, not associated with the Mille Lacs Band, located west of the St. Croix River.
