Ke Mac

Nathan Jones

Very detailed throughout the museum.

An interesting place to spend some time taking in the native Indian history.. Had no idea America had 542 Indian tribes! Worth the 30m to 45m time to browse the culture and exhibits. Apparently the Smithsonian museum folks dropped by and were very impressed.. This place had old stuff even the Smithsonian didn't.

Rick and Cathy Fitzgerald

Great way to learn more about the Plains Indians since this place is small enough that you can really absorb what they share. Authentic items and concise descriptions. Enjoyed seeing the works of locql artists and chatting with them.

Joseph Everett Cromwell

Florence Canarelli

Suzanne Dickenson

For anyone visiting the Blackfeet Reservation this is a must see.

Edward Sihler

A bit small for the breadth of material and the displays are crowded as a result but very informative.

John Bain

Went in curious as to what they had. I was pleasantly surprised. Artifacts of the Blackfeet plains life were right there in front of me. Especially intriguing were the rattlesnake skin covered bows the warriors made for their ventures out among the buffalo. The store had available some literature about the Blackfeet Tribe. Exciting education.

Elizabeth Bixler

For a small museum this had one of the most interesting displays of native costumes. Beautifully displayed. A lot of thought and pride was evident in each display. Really enjoyed our visit.

Major Rettig

An excellent place describing the history of the Plains Indians. Could have spent hours in there. The museum host was informative and had a great way of sharing their history.

Joel Kaplan

Well done museum with very special original clothing from the Plains Indian. Nice stop nearby Glacier Park.

Louis Cashatt

It represents the native American population that lived for more than 10,000 years in Montana and in what is now glacier national park. There are traditional clothing on display, explanations of how they made the clothing and a video talking about their history. You can also purchase art made by them.

David Mosen

A beautifully displayed collection of clothing, weapons, tools, toys and more. Well worth stopping to see.

Tallal Ibad

Hugues Terrien

Debbie Rice

This is a small, but very well-done museum documenting the history of the Plains Indians on the Blackfeet Reservation in Browning Mt. Only $4 for Seniors is a bargain. The displays are amazing and interesting. Worth a couple of hours to view. There is a gift shop and some Native American artists to purchase items from

Mike Mo

lovely

Timothy Powell

Interesting

Thomas McAnally

Informative self guided tour. Many artifacts, from clothing to living tools, blankets, weapons. Local artists on site when we were there.

Linda Betts

DROVE FOR hours to see this and we got there 6 min. before they closed and closed on Sunday and Monday. What is this. I've been wanting to see this for years. Very disappointed, very. I will never be back this way again. So sad to miss seeing this.

Geraldine Stanley

They really know their stuff and it's awesome to see history from the Blackfeet tribe.

Marty Aines

Informative and friendly

Texas Gal

What displays it had were great, they were just limited to one room. Perhaps in the summer season, displays will increase.

Ryan

I'm from this little town and have been through the museum more then once it's very informative on not only the blackfeet but many other surrounding tribes it doesn't take long to go through so if you're passing by it's worth the stop

Jeannie Lange

Small museum but a wonderful display of the intricate handwork of the Plains Indians. Tools, clothing, tack for their horses and more. Artists are sometimes working and there is a video to watch. Check out the gift shop, especially kids. Children can make a beaded bracelet and receive a free arrowhead.

Ken Betts

Lots of good information.

Kyle Coursey

Nice art work, friendly staff and clean facility. Definitely a must stop when going through Browning.

RJ Parker

Very disappointing

Noah Vetsch

Beautifully archived. These are treasures.

Laura Doss

Beautiful museum!! Wonderful friendly and engaging staff.

Bill Hanson

Small but full of illustrative examples of apparel and implements not seen elsewhere - even the museum in Cody, WY. Senior discount on entrance fee. Doesn't take long if you're on the way to Glacier National Park.

Francis Fielding

Great displays, movie and art. Well worth an hour.

Ivy RunningCrane

Because they had the real deal of native way of life

Carol Garr

Very interesting artifacts of Plains Indian history, especially of the Blackfeet tribe. It's on their reservation at Glacier National Park

Chris Telling

Make sure to see the “artist at work” and who is outside - the 100-150 year old dress inside are worth it alone.

Clayton Sharp

Radical

Dan Carr

Excellent collection, and very reasonable entry fee. Good to see that they employ Blackfeet to staff the museum, as well. Unfortunately some of the maps and info are incorrect. The museum facility and informational panels could use an update, the history shown in this museum is worth it!

Thomas Dunn

Has some beautiful exhibits and good historical perspective. The curators were very friendly and helpful.

Starla Cassidy

Highly recommend seeing the inside of the museum

We loved this place. It’s got a small but truly revealing exhibition of Native clothes. You get a real sense of the lifestyle of the Plains Indians.

Justin Moore

Amazing and friendly staff! Great exhibits!

Sanndy Rae

Great place to learn 1st People history. Entire room dedicated to local artists of the 1st People. They also have the artists working on site and you can purchase their work. 5 bucks to get in.

SHAWN Bull child

It's awesome has a lot to learn

noah goldman

A humble museum with two historical galleries, a video room with surprisingly intriguing diorama (never thought I’d say that about diorama), a contemporary First Peoples art gallery complete with modern women’s dresses utilizing native motifs - incredible, have you seen Vogue lately? The museum also has art workshops. I was fortunate to meet the son of Ernest Marceau, John, who is an aspiring artist himself. #blackfeetledgerart As I was approaching the museum I noticed the ironwork on the building. I couldn’t help but imagine Frank Lloyd Wright “culturally appropriating” these incredible patterns in his buildings. Take a look!

Ken Dean

Great place to learn about Native heritage

Paul Orr

Lots of fun!

andrew limareff

Tillie Butts

We were very impressed with the gorgeous displays and the person that welcomed us was so patient and knowledge. Great experience.

Wonderful exhibits and information. The $6 fee is more than reasonable. I would have paid up to $15 as it is well worth it! Don't let the older exterior of the building discourage you from stopping in, this museum is a gem.
