South Browning, Montana

Adjacent to Browning, Montana to the south is South Browning Montana. Below are links to google maps photos of the Chippewa Indians community of South Browning. It's considered a CDP or census designated place. Well over 100 years ago chief Rocky Boy was very active at Blackfeet Reservation. On more than once occasion was chief Rocky Boy required to bring large numbers of his Chippewa Indians Subjects to Blackfeet Reservation. In November 1909, the largest forced relocation of chief Rocky Boys Ojibwa Subjects were forced to leave their "Chosen Land" and relocate to Blackfeet Reservation. All Native Reservations at Montana are Ojibway. However, all refuse to identify as being Ojibwa except Fort Assiniboine Indian Reservation (aka Rocky Boys Reservation). Many Ojibwa's continue to identify as Ojibwa at Blackfeeet Reservation, Fort Belknap Reservation, Fort Peck Reservation and Jocko Reservation (aka Flathead Reservation). Blackfeet Reservation and Fort Peck Reservation have many Ojibwa's who continue to identify as being Ojibwa. The forced relocations between 1900 and 1910 kept their Ojibwa Tribal identity alive. At Crow/Northern Cheyenne Reservation few identify as Ojibwa. That's difficult to comprehend because we first learn of chief Rocky Boy at Crow/Northern Cheyenne Reservation. Around 1900, chief Rocky Boy and his fascinating history commenced to be known of by the public. Chief Rocky Boy negotiated to have a land addition added to Northern Cheyenne Reservation for 100's of Ojibwa's forced to leave Crow Reservations ceded north portion and possibly well over 1,000 other Ojibwa's from other locations at Montana. Those who could not relocate to Northern Cheyenne Reservation were guided by chief Rocky Boy to Fort Hall Reservation, Uintah Valley Reservation (it's in Utah) and Navajo Reservation.

South Browning is an Ojibwa Enclave. After land allotments were distributed many were illegal sold (chief Rocky Boy agreed to accept land allotments as long as if they were in compact form and could not be sold) which led to Browning being established. A railroad station was established where Browning is. Thus, whites were attracted to the Browning location. After illegally purchasing land allotments businesses were established. In 1909 and 1910, chief Rocky Boy and his Ojibwa Subjects were settled at Blackfeet Reservation. After being betrayed they made for the Browning location and settled on Brownings north and south sides.

According to 2020's census, the population of South Browning is 1,970. Most of South Browning is located on "Trust Land." Certain areas of South Browning are located on "Fee Land" which is land subject to city, county, state and federal taxes. South Browning does have a revenue source because of "Fee Land." Land area of South Browning is 2.4 sq. mi. (6.1 sq. km.). Elevation is 4,390 feet (1,340 meters). Brownings Junior High School (Middle School) is located at South Browning. Ojibwa's make up 95.4% of South Brownings population. Mixed bloods 2.6%. Mexicans 2.4%. Whites 1.7%. Asians 0.1%. Blacks 0.1%. Climate conditions of South Browning are long cold, windy and snowy winters. Chinook Winds keep winter temperatures warmer compared to similar locations at the same latitude further east. Frequently winter maximums reach the 30's and 40's. On some occasions winter maximums reach the 50's. Average winter maximums (December, January and February) range from 28, 32 and 32. Average winter minimums (December, January and February) range from 8, 11 and 13. Summers are short and warm. Summer nights are cold. Summer maximums (June, July and August) range from 68, 77 and 76. Minimum summer (June, July and August) temperatures range from 41, 46 and 44. Chinook Winds often produced high wind storms each winter. Definition of "Chinook" in Ojibwa Language is Massive Wind People. Mishi for 'massive,' noo for 'wind,' and by placing the 'g' plural at the end of "noo," makes it mean people. An excellent name for people who live on the plains adjacent to and east of the mountains. South Browning is a typical Ojibwa community. Few trees and dogs allowed to run around loose. Pet owners let their dogs run loose to deter criminals. Reservation leaders seldom react. About 15 miles directly east are the Rocky Mountains.
