For that matter, the Ojibwe didn't reach northern Minnesota until after European contact and live accross a large area of land. They (and related nations) had a long westward migration that started prior to European contact and continued until after the founding of the US. Before that the Dakota were in northern Minnesota (likely after an earlier westward migration). There was a huge amount of diversity prior to European contact so this kind of project is quite difficult.
There are some good histories here (most are fairly long, only covers a relatively small number of nations):

Edit: It looks like there is an updated map with some corrections now available (still has some issues in the great lakes region):
