-During June and July of 1896, the United States forcefully relocated several thousand Chippewa's from the Little Shell Chippewa's Blackfeet Reservation (aka Turtle Mountain Reservation), to Fort Belknap Reservation. In May of 1895, chiefs Little Shell III and Red Thunder were arrested and that ended their efforts to preserve the Little Shell Chippewa's Reservation. Also during 1895, the United States reached an agreement with leaders of Fort Belknap Reservation to purchase the southern part of the Reservation. They claim for mineral entry but it was for the eventual Deportations in 1896. It covered the southern part of Fort Belknap Reservation. An unknown number of Chippewa's were deported to Fort Belknap Reservation during June and July of 1896.

 In 1921, a meeting was held at Joseph Paul's family's ranch near Lewistown, Montana. It was probably about filing a land claims lawsuit about the original Blackfeet Reservation which was created on September 17, 1851. However, the Little Shell Blackfeet Chippewa's continued to govern the original Blackfeet Reservation which was created on September 17, 1851.

 And another fact about 1934, is the land addition to Navajo Reservation. On the Navajo Reservation land addition map, the land added on in 1934, is located in the extreme southern part of Navajo Reservation. If the land added on to Navajo Reservation in 1934, was for the Chippewa's from the Great Falls region, Fort Belknap Reservation, and Rocky Boys Reservation, we don't know how many were relocated to their new Reservations added on to Navajo Reservation in 1934.
