History
In August of 1873, the government of the United States reached a treaty agreement with certain Little Shell Chippewa Indian leaders and Crow Indian (the Crow Indians had no rightfull claim to the territory) leaders, in which the Judith Basin Indian Reservation was established. It was done without consulting with the highest ranking leaders of the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana.

What was the Judith Basin Indian Reservation, was located within the boundaries of the original Blackfeet Reservation which was created on September 17, 1851 and approved on October 17, 1855. The treaty text of the October 17, 1855 Treaty, does not mention the Crow Indian Tribe. It does mention the Blackfoot Indians and Flathead Indians. Both are Chippewa, with the Flathead being an admixture of Algonquin Chippewa and non Algonquin.
