Los Angeles Lakers guard Derek Fisher in visiting reservations in Montan to campaign for Sen. Barack Obama (D-Illinois).
Fisher visited two high schools on the Blackfeet Reservation on Thursday. He is headed to the Fort Belknap Reservation, the Rocky Boy's Reservation and the Fort Peck Reservation today.
Fisher volunteered for the campaign. The visits are his first ever to Indian Country, he said.
"It was a very moving experience," he told The Great Falls Tribune.
