Montana's Indian Reservations are rich strongholds of Native American heritage. With seven reservations representing eleven tribes, nine percent of the Montana land base belongs to the reservations. Not all of this land is still owned by Indians, but all is governed by tribal or federal law. The people of Montana's reservations are working to build strong economic bases so their culture will survive and flourish with future generations of Indian people. Indian lands have been used in many productions including feature films, commercials, documentaries and stills. Permit procedures vary according to the individual reservation. Contact the Film Office or the specific tribal office for filming guidelines and permit information. (Click here for tribal pronunciations).
