Metis people refer to Louis Riel as their leader. Riel was white who helped to establish white colonies in Montana and also in Saskatchewan and Alberta. He ignited the 1885 Northwest Rebellion by establishing a white colony in Saskatchewan. He was not a leader of the Indians. He was their enemy. It is very important for the Montana Chippewas to ignore the metis. They are whites who side with the whites. Those Montana Little Shell Chippewas who are predominantly Indian, must avoid the metis who are trying to get government money. They don't care for Indians. The Little Shell Chippewas of Montana, must form an organization that allows only Chippewas who are predominantly Indian to serve as leaders of the Montana Little Shell Chippewa Tribe. | Metis people refer to Louis Riel as their leader.

In 1898, chief Buffalo Coat, who was a leader of the Chippewas in the Great Falls region, requested from the State of Montana and the federal government, for State aid, land, and citizenship. Their reply was quite different from their 1894 reply. The State of Montana and federal government claimed no jurisdiction to settle the Chippewas on a Reservation or support them. | |||
