Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians
The Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians (pronounced "Soo Saint"), commonly shortened to Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians or the more colloquial Soo Tribe, is a federally recognized Native American tribe in what is now known as Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The tribal headquarters is located within the major city in the region, Sault Ste. Marie, from the French for the rapids of Saint Mary, which was originally known as ''Bawating'' by residents of the region prior to Europeans arriving in the mid-to-late 16th century. ''Bawating'', sometimes seen written as ''Bahweting'', is an Ojibwe word meaning The Gathering Place.〔http://www.saulttribe.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=29&Itemid=135〕
==Government==
The Sault Tribe operates its own government, with regular elections for chairperson and council members to represent the tribe's five units throughout seven counties in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.〔http://www.saulttribe.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=318&Itemid=309〕 Over one half of the tribe's enrolled members reside outside the five units, but vote within those established units, generally in a unit they have significant ancestral or historic ties. The tribe's current chairman is Aaron Payment, elected by the largest majority in the tribe's modern history.
