Heart Butte Celebration

Thursday, August 11, 2011 - Sunday, August 14, 2011

This annual four day celebration takes place the second week in August and is 26 miles south of Browning in the community of Heart Butte, which is located on the Blackfeet Reservation. Heart Butte is one of the oldest traditional communities of the Blackfeet Reservation. More than 60 houses are clustered around the old subagency, established about 1915. Many residents remain on the original allotments of their ancestors in the surrounding area. The community is justly proud of its new shool, built partially underground and located south of the town. Towering above, to the west, is the mountain known to the Blackfeet as Moskitsipahpi-istuki, Heart Butte.
