Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

More than 130 people packed into a Fergus County Courtroom Wednesday to give opinions on a bill that would remove five wilderness study areas (WSA) totaling 449,550 acres in Montana from future wilderness consideration, with the meeting showing a deep divide over how to best manage these public lands.

Passionate pleas were offered for and against the controversial legislation.
