 Chapter II - A Tale of Two Railroads
The "unceded Indian territory," determined by the treaty on three sides as "the country north of the North Platte River and east of the summits of the Bighorn Mountains" to the west of the 104th meridian, had for some reason simply never been defined regarding its northern boundary.
It therefore was not unusual to encounter them on the southern plains of western Canada in what is present-day Saskatchewan, hunting and warring against their ancient enemies the Plains Cree, the Plains Ojibway (also called the Salteaux or Chippewa), the Métis, the Gros Ventres and the Assiniboine or Stoney (who were themselves Nakota Sioux).
Only rarely would they clash with the Sarcee and Blackfoot proper, who warred and hunted further north but contended to the east and north with the Cree and Métis, and on their west flank with several exceptionally tenacious bands of Assiniboine as well.

 Buck: Native Messengers of God in Canada?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
One recent study argues that one of the most compelling bodies of evidence for the existence of a peace movement among indigenous societies during the American Revolution is preserved in the Morgan Papers, a collection of largely unpublished documents relating to the first American Indian peace treaty in 1776.
But, for all evangelising religions in North America, native spirituality is an issue, one that is very much alive in mission fields today.
From silence, we conclude that the question of the authenticity of native spirituality was not explicitly addressed during Shoghi Effendi's ministry (1921-1957) as Guardian of the Bahá'í world.
