Answer: What is Fort Belknap Indian Community mean?

The Fort Belknap Indian Reservation (Gros Ventre: ʔakθɔ́ɔyɔ́ɔ, lit. 'the fence' or ʔɔʔɔ́ɔ́ɔ́nííítaanʔɔ, 'Gros Ventre tribe') is shared by two Native American tribes, the A'aninin (Gros Ventre) and the Nakoda (Assiniboine). The reservation covers 1,014 sq mi (263,000 ha), and is located in north-central Montana. The total area includes the main portion of their homeland and off-reservation trust land. The tribes reported 2,851 enrolled members in 2010. The capital and largest city is Fort Belknap Agency, at the reservation's north end, just south of the city of Harlem, Montana, across the Milk River.

In 2013, the tribes received some bison and have reintroduced them to the local range. In June 2015, the US Department of Interior sent some 3500 offers to buy back fractionated land worth more than $54 million, affecting the future control of 26,000 tracts of land within the boundaries of the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation. This was under the Land Buy-Back Program for Tribal Nations, established as part of the federal government's 2009 settlement of the landmark Cobell v. Salazar suit over federal mismanagement of revenues due Indian landowners under the trust program.
