Fort Belknap is discontinued in 1876 and…
1876 CE to 1887 CE
The Assiniboines do not object to going to Wolf Point and readily set about moving, but the Gros Ventres refuse to go.
If they do, they will come into contact with the Sioux, with whom they cannot ride together in peace.
They forfeit their annuities rather than move to Fort Peck.
In 1878, the Fort Belknap Agency is re-established, and the Gros Ventres, and remaining Assiniboines are again allowed to receive supplies at Fort Belknap.
