the land of the native, we have been too
prone to forget that the Indian is human;
that they are fathers and mothers, brothers
and sisters, possessing like emotions to the
white race. 1t was indeed an unfortunate
circumstance in the process Of civiliZatiOn's
western advance across the continent, that
made necessary the deprivation Of the red
man of his freedom and possessions, title
to which he received from his "Great
Spirit" who created him in this land.
There could be nothing gained, however,
in the present age, by an -arraignment Of
the pioneer o rthe early-day governmental
officials and the methods these officials
employed in the handling of the Indian
question during the era that has passed
into history. On the other hand. it is far
from just to malign the native because of
his methods of r~esenting the tactics of the
white invaders.
Modern history has proven that these
human traits exemplified by the red race
the human traits o ftheir white brothers.
And, it has been proven that, even in their
deplOrable condition, brought about by the
white invasion, these descendants of our
abOrigines have been capable of cOnstruc-
tive cooperation, to the end that today
they are fast becoming a thrifty and enter
prising civilized people.
As we look back over the history of the
region now embraced in the state of Mon
tana, which was once the hunting ground
of many different tribes, we see the mona

altered conditions. By means of various
treaties the Indians were compelled to re
linQuish various tracts of their land. Final

solution to remain in the Bitter Root val
ley. He treated with disdain and dis
trust any person connected with the United
States government. He asked only the
privilege Of remaining in the valley where
he was born.
In March. 1884, Major Roman held an
other council at S~tevensville, at which time
several things were promised the Indians.
First, they were offered a choice Of 100
acres, unOccupied land on the reservation
second, assistance in erecting a substantial
house; third, assistance in blowing and
fencing ten acres; fourth, the following
gifts: two COWS to each family, a wagon
and harness and necessary agricultural
implements; seed for the first year; and
provisions until the time of the first years
harvest. Twenty-One families accepted
offer and went to the JOckO reservation.
The Indian department lived up to its
part Of the contract and also authorized
the construction of an irrigation ditch to
cover the land settled upon. This plan
worked well, and in another year, eleven
more families moved from the Bitter ROOt
to the JOckO.

i'm introducing many Of civilizations inn
plements among the Selfish tribesmen. Not
only did Father Ravalli and a layman by
the name of William Claessens, plant the
first grain and potato crops in Montana,
but they also helped to build the first grist
mill and the first lumber mill in Montana.
First GrIst Mill
Claessens was an expert carpenter, ana
the other lay brother, Joseph Specht, who
accompanied Father DE Smet west to build
the mission, was a blacksmith. Three years
after the first crop was planted, Father
.Ravalli, who had been on duty among the
COlville Indians 300 miles west, Joined the
missionaries at st. Mary's. He was ont only
an able physician and an artist, but also
an expert mechanic and could handle tools
Of every trade with much skill.
For the first three years after grain was
grown, none Of it was made into flour.
What little flour they had at the mission
had been brought from COlville, exclusively
for altar purposes. The wheat was used.
by roasting and boiling. Father RavaIi
determined to put up a GriSt mill, ana
with the aid Of Brothers Claessens and
! Specht, he set about building it. Soon they
had set up and running by water a minia-
ture mill, when turDed out flour, ana
bread became a reality. The millstOnesp
! which were only II inches i'm diameteEr
were brought from Europe. They are still
preserved in the little museum at st. Ig-
natius.
Next followed the first sawmill in Mon
tana. Four wagon tires welded together
made the crank, while a fifth was flattened
out and hardened into a blade by hammer
ing; then filed into a saw.
These were truly constructive steps, pro
ductive Of a cooperation which, If carried
out in general in this western country,
where white met red, would have prevented
untold hardship, privatiOn and bloodshed.
Major Peter Roman
Another famous pioneer character OF the
Locke reservation, and a man who perhaps
accomplished more in behalf of the Selfish
than any other individual, was Major Peter
Roman, who was government agent at the
reservation at the time Chief Chariot ana
his followers took up residence there. Major
Roman. was one Of MOntana's pioneer mi
ming and newspaper men.

OF their fathers, and Chief Chariot refused

and Arlee signed the treaty.
General Garfield returned to Washing
ton ana the treaty was published as having
been signed by all Of the Indians, and at
the same time Arlee was recognized by the
government as head chief Of the Flatheads.
Arlee was only a half-breed Flathead. his
rather being a Nez Perez.
Chief Chariot was a Christian, having
embraced the Catholic faith, and he was
honest, just and faithful in all Of his deal
lngs with the whites, and naturally his
sense OF Justice was outraged and he de-
clared that he would never leave the Bitter
Root valley. alive.
Arlee and his people moved, but Chariot
and his people remained. Those that went
to the JOckO received nothing in the way
of annuities, but through inefficient agents
!areq little better than those who remained
In the B1ttcr Root, who received nothing
from the government. They all contirled
to go to the buffalo country to hunt in
order to live.
In 1877, Major Peter Roman, e man who
was conversant with Indian customs and
habits, and OF fine executive ability as vel
as Of unimpeachable integrity, was ap.

1 thought. Of the early days-of 1911
when the order came from the government
to remOve the Flathead Indians from the
Bitter Root valley to the valley of the
JOckO. Heretofore white people had been
welcomed and given land by the Indians,
so that the Bitter Root valley was, at this
time, fairly well settled by the whites. r.
Buck, an old settler near St~evensville, said
that the Flathead Indians had never shed
a white mans blood, and were Oodlt to the
whites In every way even to the protection
against marauding Indians. Certain IT was
