A member of the
Blackfeet Nation of Montana is hosting a public meeting on Wednesday to discuss border town racism.
Mike Little recently reached with the Montana Human Rights Bureau that requires police officers in the city of Cut Bank to go through nondiscrimination training. His 15-year-old daughter was stopped by an officer because she lived on the reservation.
Three white males in Cut Bank were recently charged with beating a Blackfeet man who serves as
Glacier County commissioner. State officials said the beating was not a hate crime.
