 They are also Chippewa. In the Lake Nipissing region of Ontario, the Amikwa Chippewas live. Actually they live between the north shores of Lake Huron and Lake Nipissing. Amikwa in Chippewa means Beavers. The Amikwa are also known as the Nez Perce. The Amikwa Chippewas were forced to retreat from the Lake Nipissing region before 1661, by the white invaders and their Indian allies. By 1661, they were living along the northern shores of Lake Superior. They continued to follow prophecy and migrated west into the Alberta and Montana region. After reaching the Montana region, they commenced to wage war against the Flatheads. They eventually migrated west into Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. They also migrated down into northern California. Other Amikwa Chippewas migrated north into northern Alberta and northern British Columbia. They are the Beaver Tribe including the Sekani, of that region. Click this link http://www.wilkesweb.us/algonquin/nations.htm to visit The Center for Algonquin Culture . It has a list of Anishinabe speaking Chippewas or Anishinabek.<br>
-== Judith Basin Indian Reservation  ==
+== The 1876-1877 War  ==
-It is the Judith Basin Indian Reservation which has caused the government of the United States to not recognize the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana. The Chippewas of Montana can trace their origins to the Judith Basin Indian Reservation and the original Blackfeet Reservation created on October 17, 1855. Though the August 16, 1873 Treaty claims the Judith Basin Indian Reservation is located 25 miles east of Great Falls, it's likely much larger. Shankin Creek is too close to the mouth of Teton River. Arrow River is also known as Big Horn River. The August 16, 1873 Treaty, is somewhat similar to the September 1, 1868 Blackfeet Treaty which used the Teton River as a boundary.
+In 1876, the United States launched a military campaign against the Montana Chippewas. It lasted for nearly 3 years. The Nez Perce did not commence an exodus east, they commenced an exodus west, as told to do in the Seven Fires Prophecy.&nbsp;The so called Great Sioux War of 1876-1877, was fought primarily in Montana and Wyoming, and did not involve the Indians from South Dakota.<br>
-Both the September 1, 1868 Blackfeet Treaty and the August 16, 1873 Treaty, were not ratified by the United States. It don't matter because the Little Shell Chippewas have direct connections to the original Blackfeet Reservation. A land claims lawsuit was filed by the Chippewas about the 3rd Blackfeet Reservation
+== Great Falls Chippewa Reservation ==
-After the Judith Basin Indian Reservation was created on August 16, 1873, those Chippewas who favored peace withdrew from the Chippewas who honored the October 17, 1855 Treaty which created the original Blackfeet Reservation. What white historians have written about the Judith Basin Indian Reservation is not true. They claim no Indians settled within the Reservations boundaries which is a lie.
+This is a sensitive subject yet it needs to be addressed. There is evidence that Great Falls is within a Chippewa Reservation. During early 1894, two white entreprenuers wanted to promote the sun dance across Montana. Federal regulations prohitited the sun dance on Indian Reservations. Joe Lessard and John P. Dyas contacted chief Little Bear about the sun dance. They wanted the sun dance to be held at the Great Falls fairgrounds on June 14th, 15th, and 16th of 1894.
-In the late 1870s, Louis Riel led a white invasion into the Judith Basin Indian Reservation. It enraged Chippewa leaders, especially chief Little Shell III. He spent years trying to remove the white invaders led by Louis Riel, from the Judith Basin Indian Reservation. As mentioned, the Judith Basin Indian Reservation is probably much larger. It's northern boundary is probably the Missouri and Teton Rivers. It's southern boundary is probably the Big Horn River in Wyoming. It includes Wind River Reservation.
+They met with chief Little Bear and after a period of negotiations, they reached an agreement to promote the sun dance. Chief Little Bear was always trying to find ways to raise money up to help his people. They needed to meet with leaders from the Great Falls Chamber of Commerse to get their approval for the sun dance. After meeting with the Great Falls Chamber of Commerse leaders, the Great Falls Chamber of Commerse gave their approval for the sun dance. However, there was a major problem. Federal regulations prohibited the sun dance on Indian Reservations. Indians who lived off Reservations, were not under federal jurisdiction and could hold the sun dance in white communities.
-It's eastern boundary is either the Muscelshell River or Yellowstone River. It's western boundary is the continental divide or Rocky Mountain Trench. Flathead Reservation is a part of the Judith Basin Indian Reservation.
+Supposedly, religious leaders of Great Falls did not want the sun dance held at Great Falls. They protested and supposedly that led to the sun dance being canceled at Great Falls, on June 14th, 15th, and 16th of 1894. Then governor Rickards issued a Proclmation banning the sun dance on June 5, 1894.
-North of the Missouri and Teton Rivers in Montana, is the most abundant farm land in Montana. It's ludicrous to even spectulate that the United States would set aside the most abundant farm land in Montana to be an Indian Reservation. Use google earth to learn the truth.
