MONTANA INDIAN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
In the spirit of healing, we honor and recognize that the state of Montana has been peopled and stewarded by unique, distinct, and prosperous groups of indigenous peoples for thousands of years.
Today, eight federally recognized Tribal Nations that comprise 12 different tribes exist in Montana: The Blackfeet Tribe, the Chippewa-Cree Tribes, the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes, the Crow Tribe, the Fort Belknap Tribes, the Fort Peck Tribes, the Little Shell Chippewa Tribe, and the Northern Cheyenne Tribe.
These are not the only indigenous peoples to have inhabited the Montana region and we also acknowledge tribes such as the Bannock, Nez Perce, Northern Arapaho, and Shoshone.
