 In June of 1896, Montana Governor Rickards, sent a telegram to the sheriff of Cascade County, sheriff Dwyer, informing him to instruct major Sanno to round up the Chippewas in the Great Falls region (in the June 17, 1896 issue of the Anaconda Standard they claimed it was the Cree but the Cree are the northern Chippewas who are known as Mus-ke-go-walk which means Swampy People) to prepare them for forced relocations.
-It was reported that the Chippewas were to be relocated to Canada. During those times and even now, the whites have used the excuse that the Montana Chippewas were from Canada. That is incorrect. So many Chippewas from the Great Lakes region, followed the Seven Fires Prophecy and migrated west into Montana. And Great Falls is within a very large Chippewa Reservation.<br>
+It was reported that the Chippewas were to be relocated to Canada. During those times and even now, the whites have used the excuse that the Montana Chippewas were from Canada. That is incorrect. Only a few Chippewas fled south back to their native Montana, in 1885. The immediate families of chiefs Little Bear,&nbsp; Little Poplar, and Lucky Man. Probably at the most 50 people but to be realistic not more than 30 people returned to Montana.
+Chippewas followed prophecy. They knew if they fled to an area with a large white population, it meant destruction. If they fled anywhere it was north. So many Chippewas from the Great Lakes region, followed the Seven Fires Prophecy and migrated west into Montana. That is the issue the United States refused to deal with in an honorable manner. Exactly how many of the Montana Chippewas who were sent back to Minnesota and Wisconsin, is unknown.<br>
 What happened in 1896, was the deliberate forced relocation of several thousand Chippewas in the Great Falls region and north central Montana, to other Reservations in Montana including the Blackfeet (between 10 and 20), Crow (between 200 and 300), Flathead (between 200 and 300), Fort Assiniboine (between 100 and 200), and Fort Belknap and Fort Peck (between 100 and 200) Reservations in Montana, and to other Reservations in the western United States, especially the Navajo Reservation and other Reservations in Arizona and California. Wind River Reservation of Wyoming was another Reservation where a large number of Chippewas were relocated to in 1896. It was done to reduce the large Chippewa population in the Great Falls region and north central Montana, and not for any other reasons.

 Other locations the Little Shell Chippewas of Montana were relocated to in 1896 include the following Reservations: Yakima Reservation; Fort McDermitt Reservation; Yurok-Hoopa Reservation; Pyramid Lake Reservation; Temoak Reservation; Uintah-Ouray Reservation; Chemehuevi Reservation; Augua Caliente Reservation; Morongo Reservation; Torres Martinez Reservation; Papago or Tohono O'odham Reservations; Yankton Reservation; Fort Berthold Reservation; Spirit Lake Reservation; Red Lake Reservation; Leech Lake Reservation; Lac Courte Oreilles Reservation; Bad River Reservation; Brighton Reservation (?) of Florida; and White Earth Reservation.
-It is known that the Little Shell Chippewas or Pembina Chippewas, were set aside a Reservation within White Earth Reservation in 1873. After the 1876-1877 War in Montana, the Little Shell Chippewas who were relocated to Oklahoma, were forcefully relocated to Fort Marion, Florida. They were eventually allowed to settle in southern Florida. They were to hostile while in Oklahoma and Florida was an ideal location to keep them at peace. This following link http://www.nps.gov/nagpra/documents/ResMAP.HTM has a map of the Indian Reservations in the United States. Look for the number 173. Click on "Map Index" or click this link http://www.nps.gov/nagpra/documents/ResMapIndex.htm to find a list of the numbers which identify each Indian Reservation. For 173 it has OUT. It really represents the forced relocation of the Little Shell Chippewas of Montana, out of Montana.

 Though several thousand Chippewas were forced to relocate, many continued to live throughout their promised Reservation. Many were of mixed ancestry or metis. Too many of the metis have corrupted the Chippewas. Read the pdf book listed below under Important websites. Too much focus is on the metis. That is something that the real Chippewas must avoid. The Chippewas are Indians and don't like being listed as a people they are not.
