Museum of the Plains Indian is a permanent exhibition gallery, which presents a rich collection of historic arts created by tribal people of the Northern Plains. There are three dioramas. Carved wood panels by Blackfeet sculptor John Clarke are on display. Come and admire the murals by Blackfeet artist Victor PepionVisit The Museum of the Plains Indian and Blackfeet Heritage Center in Browning. Hands down, these two places (that just happen to be next door to each other) are my top two places to stop in Browning. The Museum of the Plains Indian has an incredible history of several of the Plains tribes (be sure to watch the video before touring the museum), while the Blackfeet Heritage Center has work from hundreds of American Indian artists on display.Insider tip: while in Browning, be sure to check out Faught’s Blackfeet Trading Post, Lodgepole Gallery & Tipi Village and Western Curios.
The Blackfeet Heritage Center & Art Gallery, owned and operated by the Blackfeet Nation's Siyeh Corporation, exhibits and sells a full range of art media, including paintings, sculpture, beadwork, pottery. drums and literature. The gallery features the work of more than 500 artists from 16 separate North American tribes.Faught's Blackfeet Trading Post
Faught's Blackfeet Trading Post is situated in the center of the Blackfeet Indian Nation. Because of this location, we cater to not only our local customers but also to the summer tourist traffic that is going to Glacier National Park. We carry a very extensive inventory in craft supplies for our local craftsman. These people work over the winter months making their crafts and then sell it to the Blackfeet Trading Post for resale to the summer tourist crowd. This helps generate cash for people who have little income during the winter months. Our giftware business is limited to Native American items only. Books, cultural, dolls, blankets, robes, pictures (original and prints), T-shirts (local designs) and many other Montana made Indian items. We also carry a large inventory of clothing and shoes, western wear, blankets and work wear items. Brands available are Pendleton, Wrangler, Levi, Carhartt, Hanes, Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Justin and Double-H. We also heat press numbers, names and other transfers on sweatshirts and T-shirts. Our building is located on Highway 2 and 89 in the very center of Browning. This business has been in operation for over 50 years and with the present owners for over 37 years. This is a dynamic and exciting store to shop and would ask all to come in and look around to really get a feel for our Native Americans.
Gracefully curving pathways connect a pair of metal tipis with the upper portion of the St. Mary Overlook, complete with circular areas created for Blackfeet artists and craftspeople to market their works.
