In the late 1880s and early 1890s, the Department of Interior initiated irrigation projects across Indian reservations in the west.

Many ranchers and farmers, both Indian and non-Indian, still depend on the...

The reasons are multi-factorial, related to recurrent abuse, accompanied with high incidences of alcohol and drug abuse, suicide, and violence. The death of...

According to the Montana Chamber of Commerce and Chairman Darrin Old Coyote, the...
