=== History  ===
== History  ==
 
On September 17, 1851 the territory of the Blackfeet Indians was defined then approved on October 17, 1855 near the mouth of the Judith River. The correct name of the original Blackfeet Reservation, is the Judith River Indian Reservation.
 
After the 1876-1877 Black Hills War and Nez Perce War, and the exodus that followed, many Chippewas acted on their own and signed treaty with the United States. On January 31, 1874, the United States set aside the Judith Basin Reservation. It was located about 30 miles east of Great Falls, Montana and extended east of Lewistown, Montana. This is where many Little Shell Chippewas lived.It bordered the Fort Assiniboine Military Reservation which shows up on 1880s maps as the Fort Assiniboine Indian Reservation.
 
Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation was established in 1879, when Fort Assiniboine Indian Reservation was established. The United States may have used it as a POW Camp first then made it a Reservation soon after. It originally covered over 1,000 sq. mi. On the extreme southern border was the Chippewa Judith Basin Reservation.
 
After chief Rocky Boy died in April of 1916, the United States reduced the reservation's land mass from over 1,000 sq. mi. to under 100 sq. mi. The reduced Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation was confined to the Bear Paw Mountains, excepting the area around Box Elder. The United States changed the name from Fort Assiniboine Indian Reservation to Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation.
 
Soon after the Reservation was dramatically reduced in size, 100s of Chippewas were removed from Reservation rolls and relocated to the [[Papago Reservation, Arizona|Papago Indian Reservation]]of Arizona and the [[Navajo Indian Reservation (Arizona)]]. Many also moved to Hill 57 near Great Falls, Montana. Rocky Boy's Reservation is within the original Blackfeet Reservation which was created on September 17, 1851 and approved on October 17, 1855. The Little Shell Blackfeet Chippewas continued to govern the original Blackfeet Reservation which was created on September 17, 1851, well into the 20th century.
 
In 1921, a meeting was held on Joseph Paul's family's ranch near Lewistown, Montana. It was probably about filing a land claims lawsuit about the original Blackfeet Reservation. On June 10, 1939, another meeting was held at Joseph Paul's home in Great Falls, Montana. Even in 1939, they assigned 9 district representatives for the original Blackfeet Reservation. After World War II, many of the Little Shell Chippewa leaders gave up. Joseph Dussome hired a lawyer in 1950 and filed a land claims lawsuit in 1951.
 
To learn more about the [[Little Shell Band of Chippewa Indians, Montana|Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana]] and how they governed their original Blackfeet Reservation, click [http://www.indianaffairs.gov/cs/groups/xofa/documents/text/idc-001419.pdf www.indianaffairs.gov/cs/groups/xofa/documents/text/idc-001419.pdf] this link. On page 119 (not on the adobe acrobat reader but on the pdf book pages) is the information about the June 10, 1939 meeting at Joseph Paul's home in Great Falls, Montana.
 
On page 92, under "The Creation of Organizations in Montana, 1920-1936," is information about the first Little Shell Tribe organization in Montana. Howard Paul (Joseph Paul's son) preserved the information. The meeting was held at Joseph Paul's family's ranch near Lewistown, Montana in 1921. Click [http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/S?ammem/hlaw:@filreq%28@band%28@field%28DATE+18510917%20%28Treaty%20of%20Fort%20Laramie%20never%20ratified.%29%29+@field%28FLD003+@band%28llss+c56%29%29%29+@field%28COLLID+llss%29%29 memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/S] this link, to read the September 17, 1851 Fort Laramie Treaty which created and defined the Blackfeet Territory which is the original Blackfeet Reservation.<br><br>Little Shell Chippewa leaders have every right to claim the Assiniboine Territory (it has the number 300) and the territory of the Crow (it has the number 517 and yellow color and extends to Wyoming). No Crow Reservation (the Crow Reservation is really a Cheyenne Chippewa Reservation) is found anywhere in the land area in Montana and Wyoming with the yellow color and number 517. The treaty of October 20, 1875 did not add land to the Crow Reservation. It established a Reservation for the Cheyenne Chippewa's. Click [http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?hlaw:10:./temp/~ammem_Att1:: memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D] this link, to read the October 20, 1875 Treaty. On the bottom of the page click the Montana 2 link. You will notice the Northern Cheyenne Reservation bordering the Crow Reservation on the east, and the Northern Cheyenne Reservation (it has the number 585) bordering the Crow Reservation on the north. However, the Arapaho (the Southern Cheyenne) Wind River Reservation and Northern Cheyenne Reservation, are within the land area in Montana and Wyoming, with the yellow color and number 517. Both the Arapaho and Cheyenne are really Chippewa.

Though Rocky Boy's Reservation was not established until 1916, it has a larger population than the nearby Fort Belknap Reservation. The larger population at Rocky Boy's Reservation can be attributed to certain events in the past and the determination of the leaders of Rocky Boy's Reservation to keep their citizens within their domain. Joseph Dussome and other Chippewa leaders, helped to get land added on to Rocky Boy's Reservation during the early and mid 20th century. They did likewise for Fort Belknap Reservation. Fort Belknap Reservation should include Dodson, Harlem, and Zortman as their communities. There are up to 1,000 Indians who are citizens of Fort Belknap Reservation, who live a short distance from Fort Belknap Reservation. Including their populations, the Fort Belknap Reservation population is closer to 4,000.
