A few miles north of Brockton are the Twin Buttes, named because two of them rise dramatically from the flat, rolling plains below. The buttes are a famous landmark because of the battle there between Crow and Sioux Indians. (from Cheney's <I>Names on the Face of Montana</I>, Mountain Press Publishing Company)</p><p> The town of Brockton is located on the <a href="/categories/moreinfo.asp?SiteID=1&IDRRecordID=739">Fort Peck Indian Reservation</a> along the Missouri River. Sioux and Assinniboine live on the reservation, which encompasses more than 2 million acres of land just east of Fort Peck Lake, almost to North Dakota, and from 50 miles south of Canada to the Missouri River in the south.</p><P> Brockton is the site of the <a href="/categories/moreinfo.asp?SiteID=1&IDRRecordID=11446">Badlands Celebration</a>, a powwow celebrating native culture and traditions through dancing, food, crafts, and fellowship with one another. The general public is welcome to participate or watch.</p>
