Since Jones wrote the event occurred '''Many Generations''' before his time, that may indicate it was a period of more than 100 years. A few generations is maybe about 5. Many generations can actually add up to 10, 20 or even more. So the Chippewa war in far western Montana possibly occurred 200 to 300 years before Jones time which was the mid 19th century. That be the 1600s or 1500s. And Peter Jones was not the only author to write about the '''Chippewa's fighting a war in far western Montana'''. | Since Jones wrote the event occurred '''Many Generations''' before his time, that may indicate it was a period of more than 100 years.

Around the time of the War of 1812, the whites launched an invasion into the south of Manitoba. Pembina Chippewa soldiers defeated and subjugated them.

Pembina Chippewa soldiers defeated and subjugated them. They allowed the whites who had settled in the few white forts and settlements in southern Manitoba, some degree of freedom. Freedom of religion was one and to stay in contact with the whites at the trading posts was another. The Metis people are a part of Pembina Chippewa history. | ||
They liked the lifestyle of the Pembina Chippewa's who frequently hunted for buffalo. They are a mixture of Chippewa and white, or the descendants of the white settlers who invaded southern Manitoba between 1800 and 1820. They would cause problems as the 19th century progressed. The Pembina Chippewa's mixed their culture and language with the whites they subjugated. Much mixing occurred and the Metis were prone to fall for the religion of the whites. The Pembina Chippewa's were liberal about religion but were not stupid. They first allowed the whites to carry on with their religion but sometimes reacted with great rage if the whites appeared to be foolish.<br> | They liked the lifestyle of the Pembina Chippewa's who frequently hunted for buffalo.
