 There may have been another Chippewa Reservation where the St. Peters Mission located within the mountains 10.5 miles northwest of Cascade, Montana is located. Each of these Chippewa Reservations have one thing in common. Each has an excellent view of Square Butte.
 There may have also been another Chippewa Reservation where the St. Peters Mission was located on the peninsula almost adjacent to Rainbow Falls, between 1861-1866. There was a Chippewa village located where Wire Mill Road is until the 1950s. That Reservation may have extended to Rainbow Falls.<br>
+In 1908-1909, the United States broke treaty and illegally eradicated these Reservations. Chief Rocky Boy negotiated with the United States. Indian Agent Frank Churchill found chief Rocky Boy at the Chippewa village near Garrison, Montana and negotiations followed. The United States did not want the large Chippewa population living in the Great Falls region.
+Even the Chippewa Reservation west of Cascade was eradicated. It was probably the largest. As mentioned, it is located in the mountains with the exception of a narrow entrance to the northeast where you can see Square Butte. That Reservation extended south to the mountains just north of Helena. Chief Rocky Boy commenced to gather the Chippewas from that Reservation in 1908, to gather near Helena to be deported to the 4th Blackfeet Reservation.
