On June 18, 1896, the first Little Shell Chippewas were forced to board trains in the Great Falls region. First Lieutenant John J. Pershing was looking for chief Little Bear but Little Bear was not around. Instead, Pershing met with chief Buffalo Coat. Chief Buffalo Coat told sheriff Dwyer the leading adviser in the tribe was a full blooded Chippewa who strongly opposed the deportations. He may have been chief Rocky Boy. Sheriff Dwyer described chief Buffalo Coat as intelligent who dealt with the predicament in a business like manner. He was bought. | On June 18, 1896, the first Little Shell Chippewas were forced to board trains in the Great Falls region. First Lieutenant John J.

Other locations in Montana, the Little Shell Chippewas were gathered to be sent to after boarding trains to be deported out of the Little Shell Chippewas Great Falls Reservation, were Custer (Custer, Montana was located adjacent to the Crow Reservation in 1896 - 200 to 300 Chippewas were relocated to Crow Reservation), Havre (almost adjacent to Fort Assiniboine Indian Reservation - 100 to 200 Chippewas were relocated to Fort Assiniboine Indian Reservation), Malta (a few miles east of Fort Belknap Reservation 100 to 200 Chippewas relocated to Fort Belknap Reservation), Missoula (It's a few miles south of Flathead Reservation - 200 to 300 Chippewas were relocated to Flathead Reservation), and Glasgow (a few miles west of Fort Peck Reservation - 100 to 200 Chippewas relocated to Fort Peck Reservation). Most may have been relocated to the Wind River Reservation of Wyoming. | Other locations in Montana, the Little Shell Chippewas were gathered to be sent to after boarding trains to be deported out of the Little Shell Chippewas Great Falls Reservation, were Custer (Custer, Montana was located adjacent to the Crow Reservation in 1896 - 200 to 300 Chippewas were relocated to Crow Reservation), Havre (almost adjacent to Fort Assiniboine Indian Reservation - 100 to 200 Chippewas were relocated to Fort Assiniboine Indian Reservation), Malta (a few miles east of Fort Belknap Reservation - 100 to 200 Chippewas relocated to Fort Belknap Reservation), Missoula (It's a few miles south of Flathead Reservation - 200 to 300 Chippewas were relocated to Flathead Reservation), and Glasgow (a few miles west of Fort Peck Reservation - 100 to 200 Chippewas relocated to Fort Peck Reservation).

Some Little Shell Chippewas were relocated to Alberta (the Montana Reserve) and Saskatchewan (Onion Lake Reserve). However, the whites were cautious about relocating the Chippewas to Canada. Exactly how many originally lived in the Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin region, is not known. Many were refugees from the 1862 Minnesota Indian War.<br> | Some Little Shell Chippewas were relocated to Alberta (the Montana Reserve) and Saskatchewan (Onion Lake Reserve).

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. | This following link http://www.nps.gov/nagpra/documents/ResMAP.HTM has a map of the Indian Reservations in the United States.

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. Remember in 1894 they claimed jurisdiction in their crooked way.<br> | 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.
