Tribal firefighting crews in Montana, vital for 60 years, face reduced funding and shrinking roles.
Native American firefighters from Montana tribes, including the Confederated Salish and Kootenai, have fought wildfires for over 60 years, starting with pioneering smokejumpers in the 1960s and advancing to elite hotshot crews.
Their work has protected communities and landscapes while providing vital employment.
Homer Courville, who began firefighting at 16, symbolized their legacy.
However, recent federal funding cuts have reduced the size and national reach of tribal firefighting crews, weakening their once-central role in wildfire suppression.
