Amy Headdress

Amy Headdress founded the Fort Peck Rez Online Yardsale Facebook group to create a community on the reservation where people could easily buy, sell, and trade goods and services amongst each other.

The Fort Peck Reservation was late to the high speed Internet boom, but since it has hit, many people on the reservation are on the web very often, and most people are at least aware of Headdress' group.

Headdress stands with a headdress she made for her youngest son.  The headdress was stolen over a year ago, but was recently recovered when someone tried selling it on the Facebook group.

Shoe Shopping

Azarian Bear, 12, of Wolf Point, Mont., tries on shoes at Bryan's. Employees at the only large clothing store on the Fort Peck Reservation say that their biggest sellers are shoes and children's toys. Otherwise, the store's relatively high prices discourage many people on the reservation.
