Good morning, Helena.

Montana tribal members spent years honoring their history, and state lawmakers passed a law making the second Monday of October a statewide holiday called Indigenous Peoples Day & affirming Native contributions.

Helena property owners with sidewalks must clear snow and ice within 24 hours after it stops snowing (including shoveling ADA curb ramps and driveway aprons) to keep sidewalks safe.

In commercial areas, snow must be removed by 9 a.m. the next business day or by noon on a non-business day, and for snowfalls over 2 inches parking is not allowed in emergency routes with fines up to $50 or 30% of the city's cost.

Montana recognized Indigenous Peoples’ Day officially for the first time after Senate Bill 224 passed, and Helena Public Schools rotated a tipi through campuses — Indian education specialists said the celebration helped both native and non-native students learn about shared values.

FWP said that with a possible grizzly delisting on the horizon, its focus is shifting from saving every bear to a management plan that balances conservation with other needs—Director Christy Clark stressed the need to think about management now.
