Some time in the 18th century the Pembina Chippewa's had forced their way into the east of South Dakota. They mixed their culture and language with the Lakota people they had subjugated. It is not known when the Pembina Chippewa's reached the Montana region. According to the Chippewa author Peter Jones, the Chippewa's had fought a war in far western Montana (around the Missoula and Bitterroot Valley region) many generations before his time which was the mid 19th century. Jones could only provide those details. | Some time in the 18th century the Pembina Chippewa's had forced their way into the east of South Dakota.

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 400 years before Jones time which was the mid 19th century. That be between the 1400's and 1600's | 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. 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. | Around the time of the War of 1812, the whites launched an invasion into the south of Manitoba.
