He was appointed chief upon the death of his father, Chief Victor (Many Horses or Plenty-of-Horses). Victor was a principal signer of the Treaty of Hellgate in 1855. Charlo, like Chief Victor before him, followed a policy of peace with the American settlers in Southwestern Montana and the soldiers at nearby Fort Missoula.[1][2] In November 1891 Charlo and a small remnant of the Bitterroot Salish were forced by a contingent of troops from Fort Missoula to move from the Bitterroot Valley and St. Mary's mission to the Flathead Reservation.[3][4] Charlo had three children from his marriage to Margaret: Martin, Ann Felix, and Victor. Victor became head chief upon the death of Charlo on January 10, 1910.[5] A speech printed in 1876 by Montana newspapers expressed the frustration and betrayal felt by Charlo towards the white settlers and the U.S. military and government representatives. In part it read: {{quote|Since our forefathers first beheld him...[the whiteman] has filled graves with our bones...His course is destruction. He spoils what the Spirit who gave us this country made beautiful and clean. But that is not enough. He wants us to pay him besides his enslaving our country...and...that degradation of a Tribe who never were his enemies. What is he? Who sent him here? We were happy when he first came...To take and to lie should be burned on his forehead, as he burns the sides of my horses with his own name. Had heaven's Chief burnt him with some mark, we might have refused him. No, we did not refuse him in his weakness. In his poverty we fed, we cherished him-yes, befriended him, and showed the fords and defiles of our lands...We owe him nothing. He owes us more than he will pay...His laws never gave us a blade of grass nor a tree nor a duck nor a grouse nor a trout...You know that he comes as long as he lives, and takes more and more, and dirties what he leaves.{{cite quote|date=April 2014}} }}The town of Charlo, Montana and Chief Charlo Elementary School, in Missoula, Montana, are named after him.[6][7] References1. ^{{Cite web| title = Chiefs of the Flatheads 1840 to 1910| work = Historic St. Mary's Mission and Museum| accessdate = 2012-12-22| url = http://www.saintmarysmission.org/BitterrootSalish-Chiefs.html}} 2. ^{{Cite web| title = The Flight of the Nez Perce| accessdate = 2012-12-22| url = http://www.ourheritage.net/index_page_stuff/Following_Trails/Chief_Joseph/7_July77/7_29_1877_Chief_%20Charlo.html}} 3. ^{{Cite news| last = Kim Briggeman| title = Chief Charlo : Salish Tribe makes annual pilgrimage to St. Mary’s Mission| work = The Buffalo Post| accessdate = 2012-12-22| url = http://www.buffalopost.net/?tag=chief-charlo}} 4. ^{{Cite news| last = Kim Briggeman| title = Montana history almanac: Chief Charlo: 'I will not go'| work = The Missoulian| accessdate = 2012-12-22| date = 2010-09-10| url = http://missoulian.com/lifestyles/territory/montana-history-almanac-chief-charlo-i-will-not-go/article_23648bf6-bd20-11df-89c2-001cc4c03286.html}} 5. ^{{Cite web| title = History of the Salish Tribe in the Bitterroot Valley| work = Historic St. Mary's Mission and Museum| accessdate = 2012-12-22| url = http://www.saintmarysmission.org/BitterrootSalishHistory.html}} 6. ^{{Cite web| title = Charlo Montana Travel Information| accessdate = 2012-12-22| url = http://www.travelmt.com/mt-cities-Charlo.html}} 7. ^{{Cite web| title = Chief Charlo Elementary School > Home| accessdate = 2012-12-22| url = http://www.mcps.k12.mt.us/portal/default.aspx?alias=www.mcps.k12.mt.us/portal/chiefcharlo| deadurl = yes| archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20130211091133/http://www.mcps.k12.mt.us/portal/Default.aspx?alias=www.mcps.k12.mt.us%2Fportal%2Fchiefcharlo| archivedate = 2013-02-11| df = }} External links{{commons category}}
