The college pointed to the Box Elder Democrat's support for legislation that aids tribal colleges and his authorship of bills that will help preserve native languages. Former Tribal President Joe McDonald called Windy Boy “somebody who has gone above and beyond to do something for the tribal communities.” He pointed to Windy Boy’s support for l... Full story
Sunday afternoon marked the end of the Havre Jamboree at Legion Field, and the North Stars had the opportunity to play the final game of the weekend.

In fact, Chancellor Jim Limbaugh has made the decision to terminate all secondary education degrees at Northern. The chancellor has made... Full story
So, Chouteau County road crews are going to be putting magnesium chloride down in the hills, corners and wherever else they want. I recall a few years back the county did this and it was a terrible mess. The washboards and pot holes turned rock hard after the magnesium chloride was put down. Also, isn't magnesium chloride the stuff that wears on your car's metal? Isn't that the stuff that everyone complains about all over the United States because it rusts out vehicles? Maybe the county will keep a bay open at the shop for... Full story
Rocky Boy, Fort Belknap and two other Native American reservations in Montana don’t supply state and county officials with information on drunken-driving arrests made on their reservations. The Associated Press did a story this week that explains how this means that repeat DUI offenders don’t have their records available to state and county officials. For instance, if a person is convicted twice at Rocky Boy for drunken driving, and then gets busted on a state highway, Hill County officials would not know of the prior arr... Full story

People perused nearly 100 classic cars that were lined up at the Hill County fairgrounds Saturday. The annual Hi-Line Cruz’n Association's Rod Run started Friday night when the car enthusiasts paraded through downtown Havre. Some at Saturday’s show were classic car enthusiasts who were enthralled at the display, while others were just curious. People quickly came to realize that if they wanted good conversation, a few laughs as well as lessons on the classic cars, they nee... Full story
Governments throughout north-central Montana again are dealing with massive flood damages and could be looking to the state and, potentially, federal government for assistance. The government of Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation, the Hill County Commission, Blaine County Commission and Chouteau County Commission all declared disasters last week after two weeks of rain dropped between what would normally be half — or more — than the total amount of rain that falls in a year. The p... Full story
While flood waters have receded in parts of Hill County, parts of South Havre are still being plagued by floods. Hill County Road 50, off U.S. Highway 87, was washed out, making it impassable and knocking out about 100 feet of the road. And residents of neighboring Road 70 feared that a bridge there might be washed out. Cari Frahm, who lives on a ranch just east of the washed out area, said Box Elder Creek overflowed onto the road Thursday night. Usually the creek is “just a little trickle of a thing,” she said. But water rus... Full story
HELENA — Rocky Boy's, Fort Belknap and three other Montana reservations don't report drunken-driving convictions to the state, and county prosecutors say the information void poses a safety risk for both repeat offenders and other drivers. Tribal justice systems generally have jurisdiction over misdemeanor crimes committed by Native Americans on reservations, and a DUI becomes a felony in Montana only upon a person's fourth offense. That means the state has no ability to force tribal courts to share their misdemeanor DUI conv... Full story
