Another event in Great Falls a month earlier, may have involved chief Little Bear. It was reported that the Great Falls Park Commission voted on April 18, 1894, to authorize the issuance of a $40,000 bound for the purpose of purchasing future park sites. Three locations were selected. One was at Sun River Park or Wadsworth Park (it is no coincidence), Highland Park which is very near Gibson Flats, and Park Island. A total of 311 acres was supposedly purchased using the $40,000.<br> | ||

Chief Little Bear was that Chippewa leader. However, he was probably fooled into agreeing to accept an agreement the United States in which he was not told the truth. After he did learn exactly what happened in 1894, in 1896, he became enraged. More about that is below, as is information about the Chippewa Reservations established in 1894 in the Great Falls region. | |||
