On November 4, 1936, as a result of the Indian reorganization Act (IRA) of 1934, the Bay Mills Indian Community, representing 5 of the original six Sault Ste. Marie Bands of Chippewa Indians, adopted a constitution and by-laws. With reorganization, tribes agreed to abandon their traditional forms of clan governments.
On March 6, 1937 the tribe held their first tribal election. Those elected were Herman Cameron President, Lucy LeBlanc Vice-President, John Cameron Secretary, Arthur W. LeBlanc Treasurer and Clinton D. Marshall Councilman.
