He was half Ojibwa, half Cree, and led the largest band of Cree that lived on the Plains at that particular time, which was about 2,000 people. He advocated for <b>pan-Amerindianism</b>, which urged all these native bands in the region to unite against white settlement. In addition, Big Bear did not like the terms of <a href="/wiki/Treaty_6" title="Treaty 6">Treaty 6</a>, especially the provision stating that Canadian law would become the law of the land. He thought that the treaty would give up his people's autonomy. Despite his objections, he was eventually forced to sign the treaty in 1882 in Fort Walsh in order to get rations for his people. With now only having 247 followers, he moved to a remote reserve at Fort Pitt in the north. Overall, Big Bear's effort to unite Amerindians alarmed Ottawa officials, so they urgently sought to find chiefs. One of these chiefs that was willing to negotiate was <b>Minahikosis</b>, or "Little Pine". He was the half-<a href="/wiki/Blackfoot_Confederacy" title="Blackfoot Confederacy">Blackfoot</a>, half-Cree brother-in-law of <a href="/wiki/Piapot" title="Piapot">Piapot</a> who had a reputation similar to that of Big Bear. Little Pine held out for three years in hopes of joining a unified Amerindian state, but eventually negotiated and signed the treaty because of his starving people.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In contrast to Big Bear, a Plains Chief who got along very well with the white settlers was Cree chief <a href="/wiki/Poundmaker" title="Poundmaker">Pitikwahanapiwiyin</a>, also known as "Poundmaker", the leading Blackfoot chief. He also became one of those who signed Treaty 6 in 1876. Poundmaker also accepted a reserve in 1879, which was about forty miles west of <a href="/wiki/Battleford" title="Battleford">Battleford</a>. </p><p>At this point, all the groups who resided in the Treaty 6 area had embraced the inevitable, much to Big Bear's dismay. In the final count, those who signed Treaty 6 ended up faring much better than those who signed Treaty 4. With this treaty, the bands won some concessions such as the "medicine chest" clause and also the promise of relief in the event of famine or pestilence. But the price they paid was great, due to the fact that with the signing of the treaty, there went about 315,000 square miles of land. One of these groups that had to move as a result of this treaty was Little Pine. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Settlement_and_foundation">Settlement and foundation</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Little_Pine_First_Nation&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Settlement and foundation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Cree" title="Cree">Cree</a> Chief Minahikosis (c. 1830-1885), also known as Little Pine, signed an adhesion to Treaty 6 in </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:CAN_SK_Little_Pine_116_Locator.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6e/CAN_SK_Little_Pine_116_Locator.svg/220px-CAN_SK_Little_Pine_116_Locator.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="401" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6e/CAN_SK_Little_Pine_116_Locator.svg/330px-CAN_SK_Little_Pine_116_Locator.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6e/CAN_SK_Little_Pine_116_Locator.svg/440px-CAN_SK_Little_Pine_116_Locator.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="911" data-file-height="1661" /></a><figcaption>Little Pine First Nation: Location</figcaption></figure> <p>and moved from the Cypress Hills region to the foot of Bluehill along the Battle River.

When buffalo began to migrate over in 1877 and the Amerindians wanted to hunt them, their requests for that needed equipment were deliberately ignored by the government. This competition over the buffalo sparked old hostilities as the <a href="/wiki/Blackfoot_Confederacy" title="Blackfoot Confederacy">Blackfoot</a>, Plains Cree, and <a href="/wiki/Sioux" title="Sioux">Sioux</a> consulted over measures to regulate the hunt. In 1880, Big Bear and Little Pine headed south to the remaining buffalo range on the <a href="/wiki/Milk_River_(Alberta%E2%80%93Montana)" title="Milk River (Alberta–Montana)">Milk</a> and <a href="/wiki/Missouri_River" title="Missouri River">Missouri</a> rivers, where they met with Riel. The Metis leader was instrumental in persuading the Montana Amerindians---these included the southern <a href="/wiki/Assiniboine" title="Assiniboine">Assiniboine</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Blackfeet_Nation" title="Blackfeet Nation">Blackfeet</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Crow_people" title="Crow people">Crow</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/Gros_Ventre" title="Gros Ventre">Gros Ventre</a>---to allow the Northerners to hunt on their reservations. This alliance was eventually broken when the Canadian Amerindian groups raided the horses of the American Indian groups. After all, they were traditional enemies. With this raid, the U.S. government set out military expeditions to confiscate the horses and equipment from the Canadian Amerindians and heavily restricted border crossings from that point on. </p><p>Following these events as well as escalating tensions from the <a href="/wiki/M%C3%A9tis_in_Alberta" title="Métis in Alberta">Metis Resistance</a>, both Poundmaker and Little Pine's people left their reserves and headed for Battleford, which was the headquarters for distributing supplies. Settlers saw this and fled into the fort in fright, two of them having been killed by Assiniboines. During the last two days of March, the Cree plundered these abandoned settler houses and stores. Chief Little Pine died shortly afterwards. </p><p>Little Pine died in 1885 and his people were scattered along the various bands. As a part of government's policy to keep all Indians on their respective reserves, a reserve was surveyed for those who remained of the Little Pine and Lucky Man bands in 1887. The allotted acres that they received through survey did not correspond to what was entitled to them through treaty. The Little Pine First Nation spent a century of injustice in these allotted acres. By May 29, 1997, the band has been able to purchase land and participate in other economic endeavors. The Little Pine first nation continues to define its right to self-government through its <b>Government Act</b>, which allows for basic structure within the band and offers provisions for the <b>Lands and Resources Management Act</b> and the <b>Election Act</b>.
