Fort Belknap is a historic military outpost located in Montana, established in 1880. It was built to protect settlers and maintain peace between Native American tribes and European Americans during westward expansion. The fort served as a base for the U.S. Army and played a role in various military campaigns in the region. Today, Fort Belknap is home to the Fort Belknap Indian Community, which includes the Assiniboine and Gros Ventre tribes. The site features several preserved buildings and offers educational programs about its history and the cultural heritage of the tribes that reside there.
