Endless skies and wide-open spaces...The Community – Harlem, MT Harlem is located just north of the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation between Havre and Malta. Fort Belknap Indian Reservation is home to the Gros Ventre and Assiniboine tribes. Guided tours are available to Snake Butte, Mission Canyon, Bear Gulch, and St. Paul's Mission. Annual events include Milk River Indian Days and Hay's Powwow and Fair, both in July, featuring dancing, singing, and hand drum contests by natives from throughout the United States and Canada. The Fort Belknap Indian Reservation is located 40 miles south of the Canadian border and twenty miles north of the Mississippi River, which is the route of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Because of the close working relationship, the Tribes have given Indian Health Service providers hunting and fishing privileges on the reservation to hunt deer, antelope, elk, buffalo, and game birds. This area offers activities for all seasons, from fishing, hiking, hunting, river rafting, and all winter sports. "Big City” amenities and entertainment can be found with a drive to Billings or Great Falls, two of the largest cities in Montana.
