Rocky Boy Reservation, the smallest reservation in Montana. The Reservation was established Sept. 7,1916.
It is governed by the Chippewa-Cree Committee. They operate several business where many of their people are employed.
Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation is located in Hill and Chouteau counties in northeastern Montana, about 40 miles (64 km) from the Canadian border. It has a total land area of 171.4 square miles (443.9 km2), which includes extensive off-reservation trust lands. The population was 3,323 at the 2010 census.[1] The Bureau of Indian Affairs' Labor Force Report of 2005 reported 5,656 enrolled members. Its largest community is Box Elder, although a small part of Box Elder extends off reservation land.
Rocky Boy's unusual name came about from a mistranslation of the name of the tribal chief, Asiniiwin (Chippewa), whose name meant something akin to "Stone Child", in which they named their college.
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has long maintained a mission, Our Saviour's Lutheran Church, at the reservation. Toward the end of 1999, Rev. Joseph W. Bailey Sr. was joined by Christian youth groups from around the country; together they built a new sanctuary and outdoor chapel, and started work on a retreat center.
St. Mary's Catholic Church has the Rev. Peter Guthneck officiating. He is assisted by Sister Margaret Mary O'Doherty.
The Baptist mission church was established in late 1999. The church building was erected in June 2002. The Rocky Boy Assembly of God Church is self governing and self-supporting. Eric and Amanda Reed assumed the senior pastor position in Rocky Boy in the Spring of 2006.
While most of the Chippewa are Christian, the Chippewa-Cree Tribe also has maintained traditional spiritual beliefs and cultural ceremonies/activities. The traditional Thirst Dance, more commonly known as the Sun Dance, is held the first week of July. The annual Pow-Wow Celebration is held the first week of August. Other cultural events are held throughout the year, including an annual Christmas Dance, round dances, ceremonial feasts, revived cultural ceremonies, and cultural camps.
