Montana Indians: Their History and Location

In this handbook the authors attempt to give a brief look at Indians in Montana. The material is organized by reservation areas, even though
in some cases, more than one tribe is located on one reservation. There are also many Indians who reside on reservations not their own. A
section on Montana’s “Landless” Indians, the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa, is included. A section on urban Indians is also included.

The authors of this handbooks are especially interested in providing information on the contemporary status of Indians in Montana. Much has been written about their history, but many people don’t know who they are and how they live today. For those readers who want more information, there is also a chronology of important events and dates, a bibliography for children and adults, maps, and a miscellaneous section.
