Project Little Shell
Series produced by University of Montana Journalism
Reported news features and sound portraits linked to federal recognition of the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians. Produced by advanced audio students at the University of Montana School of Journalism as part of the Native News Honors Project.
Generations of Little Shell, known as Montana's "landless tribe," fought for the federal recognition that finally happened via Congress and the president in December 2019. This project explores what that means and what's next for a tribe with more than 5,000 members. The recognition was national news, covered in the New York Times, the Washington Post and other outlets. When the excitement settled, these graduate and undergraduate journalists dug in, talking to people all over Montana, where the tribe has its headquarters. The combined stories explore deeply who this tribe is, how it thinks about its identity and what's changed with long-sought recognition.
