Police in Havre, Montana, are seeking information about fliers distributed around the city late Sunday night and early Monday morning.
The Great Falls Tribune reports that the fliers show a flag drawn upside down and "foul" language directed towards soldiers and whites. "Get the **** off our land," the fliers reportedly state.
Police are investigating the fliers as a possible hate crime.
The incident comes as Havre grapples with race relations. The nearby Chippewa Cree Tribe and local leaders met last month in the wake of a student journalism report that described discrimination faced by Indians in the city.
