Charlo (also Charlot; Claw of the Little Grizzly or Small Grizzly-Bear Claw) (c. 1830–1910) was head chief of the Bitterroot Salish from 1870 to 1910. He was appointed chief upon the death of his father, Chief Victor (Many Horses or Plenty-of-Horses). Chief Victors signature was forged during the signing 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. 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. 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.
