The Blackfeet rez is a cesspool of corruption and poverty. The tribal police force was disbanded at one time, things like missing money, missing 4 wheelers, and the good ole boy system. The higher up in the tribal food chain, the less you (or your family) was held accountable. The feds disbanded the tribal police and put real Bureau of Indian Affairs police there for quite a while. They got their police force back several years ago. When the feds were in charge, there was a mutual aid thing going on, I don't know if there is now. For quite a while, the Montana Highway Patrol couldn't even ticket tribal members on the rez, probably still that way. I did tons of legal blood draws for them when I worked there, but the charges were always handled in the tribal system, if there were any. I drew blood on a guy one night that had been in to have his blood drawn nine times in 5 years. Still out there driving though.
I could pretty much deal with living there, even with the death threats I got, but the wife finally said, enough, and we moved back to Spokane.
Browning, Montana makes Colorado City, AZ look like a major, modern metropolis.
