LAME DEER? Are you shi**ing me? Well it's not as bad as it used to be but you are going to have your patience and sanity severely challanged. Most of the kids there are bored with not much to do except meth and sniff paint. The Cheyenne reservation elders have banned alcohol sale or use so it is not tolerated on the reservation regardless of who or why. Your best bet is to live in Colstrip. Just a thought. Some of the ranchers North of Lame Deer might have an empty house for rent. I know of at least one but I'm not sure of the quality of the accommodations. You might ask at the place I mention below. Are you native american by chance? It might be easier if you are. Then again if you are native american but not Cheyenne or Lakota it might be a lot tougher. I know a fellow that has worked at the St. Labre mission school just East of Lame Deer for a few years. Same type of set up and attendees only a private funded out fit. He said it has been some of the worst years of his career. Hope to hell you aren't Crow but if you were you would know better than to be on the Northern Cheyenne res. I myself am part Apache. Where do you plan to live?
When you get to Lame Deer take the highway north toward Colstrip about 4 miles. When you get to the reservation boundary just before Jimtown bar you will see two homes on your left. I know those people pretty well. You might stop in and ask about seeing the Deer Medicine rocks. It is a very important part of the Cheyenne religion as well as on the historical societies register. You can use my name as seen here. They will know the rest of it. Just don't ask to hunt unless you are willing to put in a fews days work first. Good luck on your future! Maybe I will see you there in November when I come deer hunting.
