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 Indian Reservation (North Dakota)|Turtle Mountain Reservation]]), to Fort Belknap Reservation and many other Reservations. In May of 1895, Chiefs Little Shell III and Red Thunder were arrested and that ended their efforts to preserve the [[Little Shell Band of Chippewa Indians, Montana|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.

An unknown number of Chippewa's were deported to Fort Belknap Reservation during June and July of 1896. | 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 Indian Reservation (North Dakota)|Turtle Mountain Reservation]]), to Fort Belknap Reservation and many other Reservations.

After World War II, many of the Little Shell Blackfeet Chippewa leaders became despondent and commenced to act on their own. In 1950, Joseph Dussome gave up and hired a lawyer and then filed a land claims lawsuit about the 3rd Blackfeet Reservation created on April 15, 1874. On April 5, 1974, the United States again refused to honor the treaty which created the Little Shell Blackfeet Chippewa's 3rd Blackfeet Reservation which the Fort Belknap Reservation is within. | After World War II, many of the Little Shell Blackfeet Chippewa leaders became despondent and commenced to act on their own.

They almost completely ignored Joseph Paul and focused primarily on Joseph Dussome. If you read the pdf book, you will have no choice but to agree that Joseph Paul was far more important. And they focused too much of their attention on the Metis or mixed bloods. And they did not mention anything about the original Blackfeet Reservation which the Little Shell Tribe continued to govern until at least 1939.
