Two tribes, Dakota-Sioux and Ojibwe, in the Dunn County area have been at war since the late 1600's(Earliest existing record is 1671.) How this rivalry began is suspected to originally fester when pressure for hunting territory was fierce and caused many wars between tribes. The bloodiest of all these skirmishes was the battle fought in the Chippewa Basin in the year of 1765. 10 years before the Revolutionary War, Captain Jonathon Carver witnessed this battle raging in Chippewa Falls at the Red Cedar otherwise known as the Road of War. The last notable war was fought in the fall of 1855. Survivors of this battle told stories of the bloody fight as their chief allowed it. August 19th, 1825, 140 Indian chieftains gathered in Prairie du Chien to establish boundaries of claimed land. This proclamation was final on February 6th, 1826.
