 == Population Growth History  ==
-Zortman, Montana, which nearly borders Fort Belknap Reservation on the south, also has a significant Indian population. Of Zortman's 2010 population of 69, Indians make up 18.84% of the small communities population but 26.09% when including mixed bloods.
+Between 1900, when the Reservation population was around 1,290, to around the time of the vote on the IRA, the population of Fort Belknap Reservation increased by only 75. There may have been a forced relocation to the Navajo Reservation.
+Since 1935, the population of Fort Belknap Reservation has increased from around 1,350 in 1965, to 2,851 in 2010. It has taken around 6 decades for the population to double. However, the predominantly Indian communities adjacent to Fort Belknap Reservation, bring the total Reservation population to over 3,300. It has actually nearly tripled in population since 1935.
