GREAT FALLS – The Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana has announced plans to host a celebration on Jan. 25 in Great Falls. The celebration comes about one month after President Donald Trump signed the National Defense Authorization Act containing an amendment giving the Little Shell Tribe federal recognition, officials said.
The free celebration will be held at the Holiday Inn from 5-10 p.m. and is open to the public, tribal council members said. The celebration includes dinner, traditional music played by fiddlers and speeches by dignitaries and council members.
