The Chippewa Ottawa Resource Authority (CORA) is an organization that brings together various tribes from the 1836 Treaty fishing tribes, including the Bay Mills Indian Community, Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Little River Band of Ottawa Indians, Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, and Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians. With a governing body composed of each tribe's chairperson and natural resource entity chairperson, CORA oversees the highly regulated 1836 Treaty fishery in the Great Lakes, working in collaboration with the Great Lakes Resource Committee and the Inland Lands and Waters Resources Committee.
As one of the most regulated fisheries in the Great Lakes, the 1836 Treaty fishery operates under the regulations set by CORA, the tribes, FDA HACCP seafood safety, and US Coast Guard maritime safety. The organization ensures the sustainable management of the fishery, while also promoting the safety and quality of the seafood harvested. With a commitment to preserving the natural resources and honoring the treaties, CORA plays a vital role in the protection and conservation of the Great Lakes ecosystem.
