It was created for the Little Shell Blackfeet Chippewa's, Flathead Chippewa's (they are a mixture of Algonquin and non Algonquin Indians), Assiniboine Chippewa's (they are a mixture of Algonquin and non Algonquin Indians) and Nez Perce. Including as being Flathead are the Kalispel, Pend d'Oreilles, and Spokane. Read the October 17, 1855 Blackfeet Treaty Text. The correct name of the original Blackfeet Reservation is either [[Judith basin indian reservation]] or Judith River Indian Reservation. The October 17, 1855 Blackfeet Treaty, was signed near the mouth of the Judith River which is within the [[Judith basin indian reservation]].<br> | It was created for the Little Shell Blackfeet Chippewa's, Flathead Chippewa's (they are a mixture of Algonquin and non Algonquin Indians), Assiniboine Chippewa's (they are a mixture of Algonquin and non Algonquin Indians) and Nez Perce.

It don't make sense. This treaty actually includes the Crow which the October 17, 1855 Blackfeet Treaty does not. The land addition, is obviously not Crow land. The Assiniboine evidently ceded their claim to the land area in 1866 but the treaty was never ratified which represents corruption. The April 13, 1875 Treaty, allowed the Assiniboine to move to the Blackfeet Reservation (Fort Peck Portion).<br> | ||
A meeting was held at Joseph Paul's family's ranch near Lewistown, Montana in 1921. It was probably about filing a land claims lawsuit about the original Blackfeet Reservation which was created on September 17, 1851. The Little Shell Blackfeet Chippewa's continued to govern the original Blackfeet Reservation which was created on September 17, 1851. Not much came from the 1921 meeting. | A meeting was held at Joseph Paul's family's ranch near Lewistown, Montana in 1921.
