"Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation" (a.k.a.: "Rocky Boy Reservation") is one of seven Native American reservations in the U.S. state of Montana. Established by an act of Congress on September 7th 1916, it was named after 'Ahsiniiwin' ('Stone Child', 'incorrectly' originally translated as 'Rocky Boy''), the Chief of the Chippewa band, who had died a few months earlier. The reservation was established for landless Chippewa (Ojibwe') Indians in the American West, but, within a short period of time many Cree (Nēhiyaw) and Métis people were also settled here. Today, the Cree outnumber the Chippewa on the reservation. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) recognizes it (and the tribe) as the Chippewa Cree Reservation. The reservation is located in Hill and Chouteau counties in north central Montana, about 40 miles (64 km) from the Canada-U.S. border. It has a total land area of 171.4 square miles (444 km2), which includes extensive off-reservation trust lands. The reservation reportedly has 3,323 enrolled members, 55% of the total 6,177 enrolled members in the tribe.
