times these treaties were ignored or
violated.
The treaty of Fort Laramie, though
never proclaimed, was the first that
described the territories, which were
accepted by the Indians best known
to the early settlers of Montana. This
treaty was negotiated by d. D. Mitchell
and Thomas Fitzpatrick, September
II, 1851, and defined the following
described territories as the reserva-
tions of the several tribes:
The territory Of the Sioux or Da-
cotahs extended from the mouth OF
the White Earth river to the fork OF
the Platte, up the North Fork to the
Red Butte; thence via the Black Hills
to the head of the Heart river; thence
to the mouth Of the Heart, and down
the Missouri to the White Earth river.
The territory of the eros Ventres,
Mandans and Arrickarees commenced
at the mouth of the White Earth river,
thence up the Missouri to the Yellow
stone; thence up the Yellowstone to
the Powder; thence along the Black
Hills to the head Of Heart river, and
down that river to the place Of be-
ginning.
The Assinniboines were given the

BY JOHN X.

MONTANA from the earliest times
has offered a home to the Indians.
Years before the Spaniards set
tied in Mexico the Indians were in
this country. The history of these In
dams would fill volumes. Much re-
mains to be written on the changes,
wars and wanderings of these people,
even from the date of early events in
tribal history, recorded in the history
of explorations and settlement. Here,
however, it's written history car only
be given.
At the close Of the year 1884, the
Blackfeet, BloodS and Piegans Of Mon
tana numbered 1900; the Mountain
Grows, 2,150; Flatheads, Pend d'Oreilles
and Kootenais, 1907; Yanktonian
Sioux of the Missouri, 4,043; Assinni-
BONES, 1859; Assinniboines of the Mis-
souri,, 997; eros Ventres. l,135, and
River Crows, 900, giving a total Indi-
an population of about 10000. There
were in 1926 seven Indian agencies In
Montana supervising a total population
of 1928. In 1884 the Indian reserva-
lions of the Crows, Piegans and Flat
heads alone contained 20, $50, 900 acres,
or over 46, 1876 square miles of land.
OF this great acreage the leading tribe
in intelligence, the Flatheads, claimed
only 1865, 900 acres while the PieganS
claimed %, 048, 900 acres, and the Crows
5,842, 900 acres of land in Montana.
OF the 10000 Indians at that time
only 1925 had adopted the dress of
civilization and only 1876 were engaged
in civil industry, of which III were
agriculturists. In 1884 the government
expended $7,966 on Indian schools in
the state, which were attended by only
287 out of 4,263 Indian children of
school age. In the separate schools,
however, a much larger number of In
dian youths were instructed. Accord
ing to the 1926 statistics Montana had
only 1928 Indians, of which 5,917
were full bloods, and 1889 Indian chill
dren attended school at that time.
Early Treaties
When the white settlers came into
the Montana territory and began en-
croaching upon the favorite hunting
grounds of the Red Men hostilities
began, after the free traders, trap
pers and miners took advantage of the
Indians honesty and often betrayed
their trust. Finally it became neces-
sary for the federal government to
interfere and send troops into the ter
ritory to protect property and lives.
Treaties were made with the Indians,
promising them reservations, reim-
bursements and protection, but many

England's only music for over loo
years and dated from the 18th CEN
fury. Two Of the tunes used by them
and still familiar 10 people today
are 'Old Hundred" dated back to
1851 and deriving its name from
association with 100 psalms. and the
other, Near" Most Of the songs
were sung by the club as they ap-
peared in the first psalter by Strun-
hold and Hopkins.
The leader compared this book
With the song book OF Today, printed
so years later. She told OF the in
fluence music played on the life Of
an early composer. William Tuckey,
who conducted the first performance
Of Handel's Messiah IN America.
Mrs. West stressed the first real
American composer, Francis Hop
kinson. who was a signeT Of the De-
claration Of independence. Among
many 90 the things was the first
dramatic cantata entitled, The
Temple Of Minerva" words OF which
were IN praise Of American alliance
with France.

work in Machis, Maine. was dis
cussed. His book. Urania. was FAR
