State-tribal relations, education and economic development are some of the priorities set by Montana's Indian legislators.
Eight Native Americans are serving in the Montana Legislature. Voters re-elected seven Native incumbents and chose a new one.
The lawmakers hope to have a better relationship with the governor's office. Governor-elect Brian Schweitzer (D) says he will live up to promises to include Native Americans in his administration and listen to concerns of tribes.
