A new employment service on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana is helping tribal members find jobs.
Anna Bull Shoe and her partners formed Nin-Nah-Too-Sii in response to high unemployment on the reservation. Bull Shoe said the year-round unemployment rate is 70 percent.
To change that, Nin-Nah-Too-Sii matches people in need of jobs with potential employers. The firm keeps a database of skilled workers and markets them for companies with federal, state and local government contracts.
