Hays/Lodge Pole School District is located on the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation (in the foothills of the beautiful Little Rocky Mountains) and is home to the Aaniiih and Nakoda tribes. It consists of a K-6 school in Lodge Pole, MT, and the 7-12 Junior High and High School in Hays, MT. The people of Fort Belknap enjoy rodeo and powwows, fishing, hunting, and other outdoor pursuits.
