Montana Tribal College

The curriculum at Chief Dull Knife is similar to those at any community college

Coursework
The curriculum at Chief Dull Knife is similar to those at any community college — English, history, math — but has a unique Cheyenne flavor. The school offers instruction in the Cheyenne language, which is not commonly spoken on the reservation, and literature classes include books like Cheyenne Autumn, a highly praised 1953 novel about the tribe's 1878-79 return to Montana after exile in Oklahoma.
