Bills introduced by Montana's Indian lawmakers don't seem to go far very in the Legislature.

Five of the seven Indian lawmakers held a press conference yesterday and said their proposals are given little consideration. "The minute the word Indian comes in a bill, that bill seemed to go down," said Rep. Norma Bixby, as reported by The Great Falls Tribune.

All seven lawmakers are Democrats.
