- Indians of Gallatin Valley
The Gallatin Valley, though never a permanent home to any tribe, was frequented by various Native American groups including the Blackfeet, Crow, Bannock, Nez Perce, Flathead, and Snake. These tribes traversed the valley en route to hunting and trapping grounds, leaving deep trails in the soil. The Blackfeet, in particular, laid claim to a vast territory spanning from the Saskatchewan to the Yellowstone rivers. A treaty in 1855 with the U.S. government recognized their ownership of this land, which included modern-day Gallatin County. Despite the treaty, subsequent actions by Presidents Grant and Hayes reduced the Blackfeet’s territory without their consent, leading to their current claim for compensation. Additionally, the Gallatin Valley, known as the “Valley of Flowers,” was considered neutral ground among tribes due to a legendary event that promoted peace in the region. - Flathead Indians of Bitter Root Valley Montana
- Flathead Indian Allotments in Montana, 1889
The article “Extracts from Senate Executive Document #231 of the 51st Congress, 1st Session concerning Flathead Indian Allotments in Montana, 1889” provides a detailed account of the removal of the Flathead Indians from the Bitter Root Valley to the Jocko Reservation in Montana. This document includes a list of Flathead Indians who consented to the land release, along with the relevant acts and supporting documents. The Bitter Root Valley lands, spread across nine townships, were affected by several legislative acts, starting with the Act of June 5, 1872, and subsequent amendments up to 1898. The document also includes certifications, orders, and agreements related to the land allotments and removal process. Additionally, it references various sources for further information, including the United States General Land Office records, St. Ignatius Mission records, and Missoula County court records. - Flathead Indian Agency and Flathead and Jocko Reservation

Fresh Water Indians
- Fresh Water Indians – Swanton
The Fresh Water Tribe, also known as “Agna Dulce,” refers to the inhabitants of several towns in eastern Florida between St. Augustine and Cape Canaveral. These towns included Anacape, Antonico, Maiaca, and several others, although not all native names have been preserved. This region’s history mirrors that of other Timucua provinces, with notable events including Ponce de Leon’s arrival in 1513 and the establishment of Spanish missions in the 17th century. The population saw a rapid decline following early conversions to Christianity. By 1602, 300 individuals from this district had been Christianized or were under instruction.
